eh?
Just listened to a lively debate on the proposal to ban college football. On the one hand, $$$, and on the other hand, the NFL has a free farm league, head injuries, scholastic crap, racism, violence, and salary inequities. Novel. As in fiction. Nice thought though. -
Talk to me
So an update on Marcy. I visited her this morning and she was alert and responsive. *wow* I brought her a Magna Doodle so she could easily communicate beyond yes and no without piles of paper or messy ink. It's perfect and props to Will T. for the link that led me to that suggestion. Her parents were blown away when she grabbed the stylus and ( Read more... ) -
And the days go by
I went out for a bit Friday during a spat of insomnia. Mostly just driving around as the crowds were not what I was looking for. I saw Will C. near the RBar and he suggested having a sip at Pravda. I had the new MBPro with me so we surfed a bit and talked politics and about the earthquake in Peru. Bethany and Mike were in Peru and the timing ( Read more... ) -
Damn Jones's
In keeping with technology, there comes a time to press the button. Consider it pressed. That's right, a new MacBook Pro 2.2GHz Duo blah blah. Dig it. The old one, well 43 Months old, has not had its fate decided yet. Chances are I'll keep it for a bit longer as it's worth more to me than I can get for it. I can only hope the fresh one is as ( Read more... ) -
excuse the introspection
Suppose a sort of self-criticism is in order, eh-hem. Extremes, like long hair or no hair, food not generally touching each other on the plate, no sleep or as much as possible, and loyalty to the point of folly are first on the list. I like work a bit too much. When I don't sleep, my home is spotless. I like it better that way. Plus I'm ( Read more... ) -
Goodbye cruel world
Time off, ah. The smell of it. A walk through Gentilly Terrace brought real fragrances of Spring. At least the rotting stench is reduced to the occasional musky whiff. The malodorous past is transformed to the blighted present. Oh it's all good in my block. A few blocks toward the lake, and it's 5 to 10 homes per block being rebuild, 2 to 3 ( Read more... ) -
Brrr
I don't like when my new heater that costs $$$$.$$ doesn't work. Grrr, er, brrr. So I fuchted with it for like three hours and gave up. Then a few moments ago it kicks back in. Doh! I got in all the fancy goodies for the next wonder bike. One part was slightly disappointing, but I hope it won't cause stress. I really do expect perfection ( Read more... ) -

But it's a wet cold.
Last Friday was not busy and after much distraction, I came home to a cold home. Furnace not working. Big house + space heaters = no difference. Saturday is bloody cold as in 48˚ inside which sucks except that I did a lot of cooking and boiling water. Sunday is milder and I'm in and out of the house all day. Monday the repairman shows up at ( Read more... ) -
new, old, and forgotten
I learned my zen master died like a month ago and I missed the memorial last Saturday, double bummer. *sighs deeply* I think centurion is clinically depressed and maybe... I'm not going there. Still the "trapped in a relationship that is basically over" thing sucks and I think finances keep that on life support. Lighter still, a new face at the ( Read more... )
