Personal
Cottontail: yes. Peter: no.
When I was 3 or so, I went to visit the Easter Bunny at the mall and get my photo taken, as was the custom of the time for children of that age. Walking back to my mom, I proclaimed loudly, “The Easter Bunny habs da bumps.” Apparently it was a girl bunny.

I might be a computer programmer, but I’m no math whiz. As soon as I hear about a train leaving Chicago at 60MPH and another leaving Detroit at 50MPH, my eyes gloss over.

I am tired tonight. I was tired yesterday, hence re-tired. I’m not sick. Just tired. And not tired of anything or anyone. Just weary. Worn down. Non-energetic. I wanted to write something interesting for my blog. Something pithy and insightful. But it just isn’t happening. So I think I’ll call it a day, and head to…

Sheri handed me an orange to take to work as a snack this morning. I have to admit this actually made me a bit nervous.

So this happened on Saturday: And boy oh boy did it feel good to get rid of more than 18 months of growth. There are 15 of those pony tails and they’re roughly 11 inches in length. I now look like this: And I couldn’t be happier. I like having long hair, but it’s a…

I’m not a humbug, but I don’t effuse Ho Ho Ho’s either. I worked on the annual batch of Christmas / Holiday cards tonight. Rather than regarding it as a chore, I dove right in, “Seasonal Music” playing in the background and happy holiday thoughts bouncing around my head. About half way through, I poured…
Read the Full PostStretching it out
There’s nothing like being woken up at 3:00am by a calf muscle that’s just starting to cramp. It really lets you know that you’re alive and your muscles are WORKING! Fortunately, I was able to stretch the cramp into submission and the leg calmed right on down. I was able to get back to sleep…

…let Octobeard begin! I’m hoping to remember to take photos every day as the beard returns to assemble into a clever video later. Also, I will not be taking photos immediately after I get up in the morning when I’m still puffy from sleep. And I will also try to use a device that can…
