It's in the air now, I can almost smell it. Football season is nearly upon us. I am rarely correct when it comes to predicting what is going to happen in the NFL. Some of it is homerism, I do like picking the Steelers. Some of it is ice-cold hate, I'd never pick New England to win anything (and besides, they can't win without cheating, so I'm ( Read more... )

At my desk . . . pretty typical, except for lately. This is the first time I've been in my office since the surgery, and also the first time I've sat down at the computer. I like my laptop (most of the time), but I like typing on my desktop so much better. I type faster on it too . . . . Anyways some random musings and statements ( Read more... )

Not the best summer so far. It hasn't been horrible mind you, I've gotten a ton of writing done, and the Penguins won the Stanley Cup. But on the other hand I was denied entry into Canada and my cat died, and there were a few disappearances and things in there as well. The bad has probably outweighed the good, but we tend to remember the happy ( Read more... )

Ari and I will be home for the 4th of July, so we'll be doing the usual stuff in the backyard ( Read more... )

Though it's only Thursday, this has been an unusually long week. I want to sincerely thank everyone for the care and concern the past few days over Princess. She was a big part of my heart, and there is certainly a large void there right now, but I know it will get better. The house has felt so empty the past few days though. It's hard to get ( Read more... )

I love you little baby. Check out the drool on her scratching board, she loved those things. I'll miss you hunny.
