I feel like a SW commercial. In the last two hours, I spoke with one person in Indiana, two in PA, a couple scattered throughout OH and two in Wooster. Within 10 hours, we'll all be on the same floor ( Read more... )

Perhaps the funniest unfunny clip I've ever seen. William Shatner reinterpreting Rocket Man? Get it here.

I just passed a woman in the town square who was having quite an animated discussion with some flowers. As best I could see, there weren't any small animals or little people there, just flowers. She was not telling them to grow or be graceful, so I am unsure whether she knew they were flowers.

Quite amusing and disturbing.

Happy Friday!

Break out the restraining orders and fire up the C&Ds, I'm headed back to Ohio ... for a weekend. It's been troublesome getting the paperwork through since Wootown now prefers the pigeon method of communication--they must be missing my Wooster Fund gift the past two years. But it should be worth it. Though some friends are staying back in ( Read more... )

Happy Memorial day to you! Summer has hit right on schedule. SP visited for the weekend and I just recovered from an odd version of the flu (body aches, sore throat, headache, no cough, congestion, runny nose and only 12 hours of fever) in time to still have a good weekend. We went to the local Sox bar and watched a game on big screen while ( Read more... )

Yes, you read it correctly, divorce is in the genes. At least it is, according to SV's father. Divorce is in my genes, so I will divorce as well.

Wouldn't the fact that my father's parents never divorced and the fact that my mother's parents were happily married for over 60 years sort ( Read more... )

B-School Nerd Humor:

The Dean of Columbia wanted to be Greenspan's replacement for the Fed job, but since Ben Bernanke landed the hot seat, Columbia's students decided to poke fun at their Dean. With that, I turn it over to them.... Crank up the music to hear!

Not ABC, but the in-laws. They will be here in 36 hours. My Malayalam is not up to speed yet for public consumption. Somewhat surprisingly, the father (who knows about the two of us) agreed to me picking them up from the airport. Given the fact that he does not approve, this should be interesting. The mother is still in the dark, pursuant to ( Read more... )

It's been a good couple of weeks. Since I accepted my new job, I have been reconnecting with old friends. I feel alive again. I haven't really been myself in this area for the past 2 years, and it feels good to gain energy from this ( Read more... )

Whew ( Read more... )
