Chill Factor: To the Bone
The ice started falling late Friday morning, a thin but steady drizzle of frozen and freezing rain. I was quite glad that I had done my grocery shopping Thursday night. I make a huge pot of stew and settled in for a brief hibernation. Friday night was punctuated with the intermittent sounds of ice-laden branches breaking off the trees and falling ( Read more... ) -
And the chatting continues...
She's not bothered that I have not categorically stated that I hate porn ... that's good. There was some initial confusion due to my circumspect disclaimer, however. At first she understood me to be saying that I *did* hate porn. I gently corrected her interpretation of what I did and did not say. ( I said I hated shows such as "Jackass" to the ( Read more... ) -
Back to Yahoo!
I recently discovered that milady has been secretly funding an online dating profile for an indeterminate period of time. Fair enough, our spark seems to have definitely been dampened. I can hardly blame her for passions that simply aren't there.

Life with a laptop
Okay, working from home is cool enough, got me? Keep (approximately) your own hours, dress like you want to...

Dirty old man that I am...
My niece got married last Friday, to a fine young man. There were no surprises -- they both said "yes" and everything went more or less according to plan. I wish them well ( Read more... ) -
Die spammer die
Great! Some spamhole has gotten hold of my livejournal email address. Just what I needed.
Now that the cat is out of the bag, so to speak, my email address will no longer be displayed in my livejournal info. Anyone who really wants to email me can ask in comments, and I'll find a way to clue you in. -
What time is it?
Wow, the last couple of weeks have gone by in a real whirlwind. The new (old) job is going great! I work from home, though, so it's sometimes kind of hard to separate work time from me time. Typically up by 8, stumble to the new 'puter in the living room and check mail, decide to take a shower at 10, look up at 2 and think "did I have lunch?", look ( Read more... ) -
