Blue Rubber Band Curse
Remember when I saw the guy wearing the tinfoil beanie who wagged an admonishing finger at me? Well, yesterday, just before I came home and discovered this site had gone boom, I walked out of the grocery store behind a large, casually dressed man with a produce rubber band hanging off his right ear.

The Condition of My Condition
Needless to say, during the last 24-hours chaos has reigned in my digital house. I could never get anyone at my hosting company to tell me what happened but to use technical terms, Eclectic Mind fall down go boom. In fact, it fell through a crack and disappeared in the Mines of Moria where a [...]

Gunfight at the Library Corral
He looked me over with the cool gaze of a gunfighter, his amber Donald Duck sunglasses revealing just enough of his eyes for me to see the determination reflected there. It took him only a few seconds to decide, to point that loaded index finger in my direction and to announce to the library, “Pow!”

Heading to the Bunkhouse
It’s been a full afternoon and evening with a run to Pet’s Mart for vital feline supplies (read cans and cans and cans of Sheba) and a little self-indulgent driving around in the rain to finish the latest “Cover to Cover” podcast from the boys over at the Dragon Page.

Questionable Notes
Today is winding down on some questionable notes.
- One of the supports for the spiffy garage door opener the Wookie and I installed a few weeks ago has worked loose. (Nothing a molly bolt won’t fix but still an annoying discovery at 10:30 at night.)

Memsahib, Aim For the Sour Cream
This afternoon in an act of personal bravery, I killed things . . . living things . . . in the refrigerator. It’s a chore I hate. When the sour cream has gone to all the trouble of evolving to the point of writing a constitution it seems so sad and wrong to wash it [...]

Hot Spot
Okay, I took the plunge and signed up to be a “hot spot” during the Blogathon. Yep, I am hot on the trail of getting cash for those kitties. So, select group of readers, as the “hot spot” description explains, I’m going to be doing stream of consciousness blogging and I am in search of [...]

School Days
With no small degree of amusement I listened to my old chum B.R. talk on the phone this morning about getting her son Travis set up in an apartment to start college this fall. Without question it’s been a hectic time for her since the institution he will be attending forgot to mention they don’t [...]
