I know, I know. I am late, late, late. Curse this short month with its limited opportunities to get things done! I was on vacation last weekend and have been working (imagine that) at the office all week, and free time has been elusive. And although I wanted to encourage everyone to vote when it actually would have counted, and missed that ( Read more... )

No, I'm not on time, but seriously, I have 362 days before I'm really late, so I don't think that's too bad. Good thing it's leap year, though. Of course, I'd say that if I didn't get something out by February Day, I'd be doing pretty poorly, but luckily I beat that deadline handily, too. I meant to be on time. I really did.

I guess that's how the Tigers felt last year - except ( Read more... )

Autumn has not come early to California, according to the thermometer which passed 100 F again today. But it's September now, so I'm hopeful the heat will not last too much longer. Especially considering that I'm moving in two weeks, and that's no fun in the heat ( Read more... )

We're coming down the homestretch of summer, with under two months remaining.  Baseball season only has two months left.  I don't go to school anymore, and I live in California so I can't really complain about the end of good weather (in fact, I can look forward to the`weather improving once summer is over.  But I'll try not to rub it in).  I'll ( Read more... )
