I’m standing on the pentacle bridge.  It’s midmorning but there are no shadows, just the perfect defused light of an overcast sky.  It’s raining lightly and has been for some time.  I can hear the rain hitting the green leaves above me.  I can feel the cool drops hitting my skin, my curly hair is getting wetter with each passing moment, my sarong ( Read more... )

Just saw Clash of the Titans. RELEASE THE KRAKEN!! Sorry, had to do that. That line is right up there with “this is Sparta.” It was very good. Lots of eye candy. Beautiful cinematography, epic special effects and stirring music make it well worth the movie ticket. Some of the of the dialog was questionable. I don’t think Perseus would have ( Read more... )

They said on the radio today, that we have not had back to back blizzards since 1922.  We average 16 inches a year.  We've been getting that in a day.  There was already two feet on the ground in my neighborhood and today's blizzard dropped more than anther foot.  There is now over three feet of snow that I had to wade through to get inside my ( Read more... )

Another day and another twelve  hours of driving are over.  Today was much easier.  The highways were clearer.  By afternoon 695 was clear.  95 still sucks though.  There are down trees every where.  They just snap at the base under the weight of the snow.  It looks like a giant reached down and broke them off the earth.  The smaller side streets ( Read more... )

6:37am  Work just called.   Three people need rides to work.  Here we go again.

It’s 12:20am Sunday morning and I’m back home now.  My boss and the other manager got me dug out around 11:45am.  I’ve been driving ever since, over twelve hours of driving.  I put my car through wintery hell today.  But because of me, four people got home and another five got into work.  Luke, the other manager that dug me out, did the same.  We ( Read more... )

I just got a call from my boss, he and one of the other managers are going to come and try to dig me out.  This call came while the governor was on TV telling every one to stay off the roads.  They’re saying this will be at least the third worst storm and it’s still snowing.  I’ve got to get to work.  People across half the country count on us to ( Read more... )

Well, I’m not going anywhere! Damn it! I have an SUV with all-wheel drive and I couldn’t even get out of my parking space. I was supposed to go to work. I was supposed to be the shift supervisor today. I was supposed to give two other people rides to work. And I’m STUCK!! The snow outside my building and in my parking lot is above my knees ( Read more... )

Getting on a plane tomorrow to go visit Mom in Turkey and go on a Mediterranean cruise. And then off to CMA. I love my life. Any way, I’ll be away from work computers and possibly my cell phone for a while. See y’all in a couple weeks. Luv Ya.

It raining a soft sweet rain. The petals from the blooming trees have fallen. The honeysuckles have started to come out. That with the rain gives the air that special bittersweet smell that always makes me glad I found my way home.

I got home from work an hour late this morning and went almost directly to bed. PNO is tonight and I wanted to make ( Read more... )
