I didn't realize how much I was counting on him coming home today. When I talked to the vet yesterday everything sounded great--more active, bright-eyed, rehydrating ( Read more... ) -

What the heck?
So, I've wanted an iPad for awhile now, mostly for work. I'd tried using my NOOK as a tablet for meetings, conferences, etc., class, you know--the whole academic thing. But the NOOK is primarily a reading device, at which it works beautifully. I really needed an iPad, especially with the lovely way I can hook one of those into the SmartClassrooms. ( Read more... ) -

Okay--I get it now
While I've always loved the play, I never could quite "buy" A Midsummer Night's Dream. This is largely because the notion of falling asleep, outside, on Midsummer Eve was just ludicrous.

Twas the day before Christmas...
The house is somewhat decorated, all due to Duchezz's work--I just wasn't "feeling it" this year. Presents are wrapped (well, except for the ones for the stocking, but that won't take long, and I need the stocking first, and those are in one of a dozen boxes, I don't know which one, and she who does know is upstairs in a hydrocodone fog. They'll ( Read more... )
