Thanks to Everyone
For me this day is not about pilgrims, football, or even eating until you burst (though that is the fun part). It is about thankfulness for what one has, no matter the negatives one has. I am grateful for the roof over my head, the food in my belly, the food to come, beauty, and all the joy to come. But most of all I am grateful for the family and ( Read more... ) -
I'm a baaad boy
I should be out at the shopping centers handing out brochures recruiting for the 2010 Census and earning myself some money. Instead I'm here at the library doing this and watching some youtube vids. Just tired and demoralized ( Read more... ) -
Only thing positive to report recently
I helped out at the 7th annual Carderock Adopt-a-Crag organized by Mid-Atlantic Climbers, the Access Fund, and the National Park Service. In addition to pouring mulch as usual, the work on the retaining wall by the river started last year was finished. I spent most of the time hauling timbers. Going down wasn’t too bad as even the pressure treated ( Read more... ) -

Writer's Block: Investigations of a Female Nature
Gotta be Emma Peel played by Diana Rigg. I was just a wee lad when I started watching The Avengers on a regular basis. The evening I saw Emma in her leather outfit infiltrating the Hellfire Club my fate as a perv was sealed. -
I saw the happiest bird in the world today
A sparrow. He had found a little puddle in the parking lot and was so taken with his bath that he didn't even move as I drove by. I can relate. These are the months I would like to spend immersed in a cool pond from which I would emerge only on cool nights and rainy periods. At least it's a little breezy now. But way too humid. The cookies I baked ( Read more... ) -
I'm concerned about my haemoglobin
When I went to give blood today I tested at 12.7. This was just on the line according to the technician. Online they list that as anemic for a male. I usually test at 15 or higher. A brief online search didn't reveal any information what may cause the level to temporarily fluctuate other than poor iron intake. While my milk intake was slightly ( Read more... ) -
Raining too soon
I was more tired than I thought today. Got a fair amount of sleep, but when I got home from picking up the car (grand total, just under $900) and the vetsulin (with a stop by the climbing gym) for Shorty I just had to lay down for a bit and couldn't get up again until I had a short nap. It must be the stress. That's my story and I'm sticking to it ( Read more... )
