I've been meaning to make another run at posting here more regularly again (not that I ever posted all that regularly), but now it's been so long that I'm getting intimidating by the amount of catch up that I'll need to do. I'm solving that by just ignoring the issue and about Quentin instead ( Read more... )

Listening to NPR today, I realized that Ira Glass is totally right about me: I have become that person who listens to the pledge drive. Which brings me to this (one of the best things I've heard today ( Read more... )

Hello everyone out there. I have a question on generational word choice, that maybe all of you can help me with.

After all, all they're dropping is a ball which is, let's face it, a little boring. Now Chatham, MA has its response: this New Years they will be lowering an 8'+ lighted aluminum cod. It will be raised by crane 60' above ( Read more... )

Things here are going well. As you can probably guess from the fact that I'm actually posting here, I'm not at home. Right now I'm in Washington state, which had major floods last week. I told you I'm predictable ( Read more... )

I came home from San Diego on Thursday - they were closing down Disaster Assessment, and I was exhausted and it didn't look like there were a lot of other jobs that needed more people, since they overstaffed the operation in the first place. Just after I got my plane ticket all booked, I started to regret that though, but it was sort of too late, ( Read more... )
