Demented To Do List
Update: Right after I wrote this I received a promotional email to try out a BlackBerry voice recorder with podcasting capabilities. It’s free for seven days, so I’ve set it up over on RedBlackBerry. Long-time readers know this is something I’ve tried before, but making and posting the recordings was too much of a hassle. [...]

Best. Cat. Toy. EVER.
I would have been a lot happier if Andy hadn’t swallowed a feather off this thing. Definitely a “with supervision” activity, but they go absolutely ape at the first glimpse of this “creature” emerging from the drawer.
Note the strategy. Andy is “taller” than Mike, so Mike lets his Bro wrestle the Feather Beast to the [...]

Personal Milestone
Well, crazy as it’s been, I’ve continued pedaling — or maybe I’ve continued pedaling because it’s been crazy. Either way, this is my 500th consecutive day exercising and the mile total stands at 9875. Depending on how many miles I knock off in the Little Town, the 10K mark will soon be reached. Meaning what [...]

My Life Has Devolved into A Japanese Sub-Titled Monster Film
The extent to which things are not going well is really, really, really hard to describe in such a way as to do the awfulness justice. We are on Day Five of the Attack of Little Old Lady-zilla. In this epic, just think of me as Tokyo.
At least I managed to get some sleep [...]

Ah, the Life . . .
Another morning of weaving words like “mesothelioma” into sentences and living the online life.
I am especially pleased to say that my woman on the ground in the Little Town, RK, got to the bottom of the Flat Rock bridge business. Plans won’t be submitted until 2010 and there’s no metal replacement bridge in the works, [...]

Glad I Took Yesterday
My decision to take a bike ride yesterday came on the spur of the moment. I looked at my “to do” list and saw a tiny sliver of light. I knew it wouldn’t last — and it didn’t — in fact that same list has now gone over to the Dark Side — but I [...]

Brain Melting or A Good Idea Germinating?
I’m beginning to think that spending my days trying to incorporate awkward phrases like “pearls jewelry” into something that passes for smooth prose is frying my brain. Now, granted, I have always had a high tolerance for bad cable, but I was absolutely ecstatic to find out this afternoon that I can watch old episodes [...]

A Pause for Blessings
I’ve been spending my Sunday morning working on a blog for my UK friend LR who rescued me from the Evil Professional Critics in the Land of the Noise Obsessed Stock Gods and has been helping me learn to take stock photos. Some people get their “Calgon take me away” moments in boutique hotels. Me? [...]

Molasses Mind and Here, Kitty Kitty
Every time I see an ad for computer memory, I think about picking up a couple of chips and sticking them behind my left ear to see if it will help brain capacity. It’s probably this wet, on-again-off-again weather, but I’m about as sharp as a bucket of molasses today. And even in that state, [...]

Pouring down rain here. Weather guy says to expect half an inch. Me, I’m just praying my Internet doesn’t go down. Too much [...]
