You have chosen to ignore this user.
I like the new version of the board. There were of course some glitches. The ignore lists somehow getting messed up was one apparently. After hearing about it I decided to check and see if anyone had been put on ignore as I had never used the function prior. I wasn't all that surprised to see it had gotten messed up but ( Read more... ) -

Inspired by eefster I was going to do Emerson Lake and Palmer's version of Hoedown but I chose this one instead. Do a bong hit or two and enjoy... From the Beginning.

The times they are a changin'.
Here in Greece we've got early elections this weekend. Again.
'Green' is good and this time around there have been considerably fewer flyers, mailers and posters littering the city and the mail and this is being touted as the candidates' concern for the environment.

Rainy Days and Mondays.
It was the first day back at work for me. It's just an hour a day for a week to finish up an accelerated summer class but still. I'll get about 10 days off after that and will begin regular classes on the 16th.
Deedles is in town. We had arranged to meet for a coffee today. It never rains in Athens in the summer. Never. As odds would have it ( Read more... ) -

Music Monday
I haven't posted for a while and it's 12:01 here so I thought I'd get in a cheap one. Hopefully I'll have more time in the upcoming weeks.

Beloved Daughter
Inattentive Pedestrian
My wonderful wife unfortunately cannot safely traverse the streets of the city. We were out for about 30 minutes this morning and I almost had a fit.
We were (jaywalking) crossing the street and she failed to look twice coming from between the stopped cars. This nearly resulted in her getting ( Read more... )
