Of Toe Socks and Rainfall

My creek? Well, nothing legally binding, but it did follow me home. It rained a lot the last couple of days. It did not, however, rain on me while I was walking to work. It also took a brief intermission when I walked home. I’m fairly happy with the day. It was also my first

Life Gets In The Way

I’ve had a long, weird couple of weeks. I’m getting into an actual exercise routine, and as a result, I have a dim suspicion I might even be getting healthy. Whatever stomping around in the countryside gets you. You know. I reclaimed my old Twitter account. I’m still not sure what I want to do

The Word is “Analog”

I’m happy to report that my friends were remarkably well behaved today. April Fool’s Day doesn’t normally go this smoothly, but… this year… it wasn’t too bad.   My endless parade of promotional e-mails, though? Well, they’re not quite as well-behaved.

The Chautauquas–back in

I’m ready for spring, now. Last week, we had snow. Big, wet flakes, and lots of them. And… in one of the better weather moments of the year… all that snow melted away while I was at work, and I didn’t have to shovel when I got home.  

My Boundaries Are FOR My Goals

I’m doing better this March than I have for a while. More progress toward my goals. More keeping track of that progress when it happens. More… uhm… insisting on boundaries? I think that’s probably a good way to put it. I needed to have my schedule fixed, again. And it took effort to convince my

And My Sense of Humor Could use some Sleep

I think I was a little bit happier before the BBC informed me that sea lilies have anuses. (There was a diagram.) The squat lobster doesn’t quite make up for it, although, if it were a lobster doing squats instead of a lobster which is squat… I’d be willing to call it a wash. I’m
