Happy 36th birthday, kiddo, wherever you are.

Slept late into the afternoon after being up late into the morning...for no good reason, really*. Weight was up, but BG and BP were both down. I think I am pretty well done with this flu, although I still felt tired, so much so that I didn't go out today. Tomorrow I'll have to, but that's tomorrow ( Read more... )

Back about thirty years ago when I worked for Xerox (and temp agencies that had me running copiers, which is how I wound up with Xerox) I published a personal zine and mailed it off to my friends. Since I'm trying not to use Facebook any more than I absolutely have to, I am wondering how many (if any) of you would be interested in a revival of that ( Read more... )

So after an exhausting drive from Tonopah to Reno, I checked into the Sands Regency and did dinner at Mel's Diner, which was lavishly adorned with memorabilia from American Graffiti At this point I have to take a brief detour an explain that I completely missed this connection. The movie came out in 1973, when I was in junior high school, and I had ( Read more... )
