According to my calendar, it has been 2 months since I posted ANYTHING here. And since TAKS was yesterday, I'm actually caught up with my homework (oh, wait....I have a project due Friday. Ah, well. The day was nice). I have an Open House tonight, so I won't get home until 9. BUT because of TAKS, I had to remove all of my stuff from my walls ( Read more... )

In my family, one of the first days of Winter is celebrated with a nice, big bowl of chili. No special recipie, but it is just one of those "traditions" that signals two things in my childhood ( Read more... )

Well, I'm having one of those days.

Today, I thought I went to in service. But of course, I did not have my handy-dandy and very loving calendar (katjabee).

More of a substantial update in the near future.

A ccouple of things.

So we have no heat. Not a big thing for me--I didn't notice, save that on Monday my beautiful katjabee looked like an Inuit, huddled in a sweatshirt and blanket. She looked miserable. Me? The only reasonthat I care about heat--or cold--is when I either get sick for ignoring it or in relationship to my wife. A warm katjabee is a happy katjabee-- ( Read more... )

I hereby declare the Post Office that serves the UnCharted Territories to be the slowest in all of history. I spent an hour and a half there yesterday picking up a package...

There is quite a storm brewing outside. It may look like the rest of the plans for my week might be shot. The sledding, I was told, was very icy. Perfect for sleds, but not so perfect for me maintaining my balance.

We're planning on going again today, but we have to get the report from the Park Service. If it's too bad, well--there is

No, it's not a Mac Davis revisit ( Read more... )
