My Year In Review (first line or paragraph from the first entry of each month in 2005)

The following is a true story.  Names have been changed to protect...well, really to keep me from being sued.

Friday morning, I arrived at work early (as usual), flipped on some lights in the office, got myself settled with a donut (nobody has to know) and the morning Diet Coke, and got a bit of trivial-but-time-consuming work done.  8 a.m. rolled ( Read more... )

I didn't realize how much sooner the temperature changes up here in the Wild North. I'm not used to having temps in the 50s until, oh, December. It was a little disconcerting to take Cotton out to go potty the other morning in only a t-shirt and undies and come back in with mild hypothermia ( Read more... )
