So, there is this episode of The West Wing, that addresses (but does not resolve) CJ's father and his issues with Alzheimers. And though I have been watchning WW, again, for the last couple weeks, I kind of avoided this one. I didn't really think about it much, I just decided to watch something else, or read, or do the dishes or feed the cat ( Read more... )

Tomorrow, I work. CW, keeping R company and doing project work (since there are very few, or no, deliveries to be made), and then the usual for PoMa. Home, dinner, feed the cat. Bask in the glow of her disappointment (she blames me for, among other things, the fact that it is cold, and I do not have the heater on all the time).

And Friday. ( Read more... )

As you probably know, by now, I ride my bike. A lot. Was doing so less, since i started driving for CW, but now that PM sold my soul to Starbucks, it seems that I am going to be piling miles on, again. Which is nothing but a good thing. However, it does mean that my metabolism is picking up, again. And I have concluded, or decided, that there is ( Read more... )

< memetext>if you didn't ask these questions of me, ask and you shall receive five from me, whereupon you post your answers with these instructions and perpetuäte ad infinitem.{borrowed, with explicit consent, from Mimerki, because if I tried to steal from her, it would go badly for me (Like, she would be sad and confused, and I do not want that)}.  ( ( Read more... )

I am, as i like to say, very good at what I do. Bike delivery. Navigation. Some kinds of cooking. Massage, and associated skills. Other stuff.

But lately, for Reasons, I am conscious of the things I do not know how to do. And I am realizing, that rather than take a chance on doing them badly, or trying and failing and learning, and tryng again, I ( Read more... )

So, one thing and another, I have seen a couple close friends posting on Facebook about problems they have with Bicyclists. Being that I do that... Okay, look. I am a bike courier, by trade. I spend 7-8 hours a day, riding 30+ miles (sometimes less) through the streets of Seattle. Before which, I rode where ever i lived. I did not even get a ( Read more... )

So, at long last, I am playing financial catchup. Specifically, turning my bank statements into a spreadsheet, so I can get a handle on my budget and spending and business expenses and such. And, yes, tax burden, since I am self employed.

And as I am doing this on a Google Spreadsheet, having given up on trying to understand how to deal with ( Read more... )

I was going to post this on FB, but somehow this seems the better place for it ( Read more... )

I love the heat.

And I hope I can remember how beautiful it is, these last couple weeks, when the winter comes, again, and there is snow, darkness, cold and pizza that needs to be delivered.

So, i am 45 years old.

I have been playing D&D since i was in the ... fifth grade? Ish? Older brother Joe introduced me to it, and we played in the livingroom with our older neighbor from down the street, Robert, as the DM. Us, Richard from two house up, Joe's friend John Angelos, Mike Long (I think? he may have joined us later) Roberts little ( Read more... )
