It’s a sad fact, but true: no matter how magnificent your backup strategy, or how elegantly organized your computer is, no one gives a tin krep. At best they’ll be impressed for 3 or 4 seconds, and then there’s either pity or envy. No better proof of virtue being its own reward. Except for helping [...]
AUGH. Even though I’m still on hiatus, I did have a post yesterday. With links. Check below.
The last shuttle comes down today, and that’s the end of that.
All of that.
A few nights ago I had a yen for a Bond flick, and called up my have – “You Only [...]
Coming back from piano on Friday: Child is singing some “Ninja Song.” It’s all about how you can’t see me, because I am a ninja. I say no. That is not the Ninja song.
“So what is the Ninja song.”
“Wait.” I hold up a finger for silence. We drive a few blocks. “There. That [...]
The title should tell you we’re in for some nerdism.
Did anyone want to work today? Everything felt like we were walking through cold tar. I gave myself a simple task to perk up the evening: finish installing Windows on my Mac. I had Windows XP Home Professional Version with Service Pack 42 on [...]
Daughter comes home from school in the usual mood, with a smile and offhand assurances that school was fine and everything’s fine and so on and so forth, but: for moment I catch her staring into the Void, a shadow on her features, and it’s time for the parental probe: what’s the matter? Oh nothing. [...]
Aside from mistakenly deleting the phone message from my wife telling me she would be four hours late from work, which resulted in believing she was probably dead and the police would come any moment now, and I’d probably be a suspect at first until they checked the phone records, which show my repeated calls, [...]
Back to the bike shop. Today I looped around the block so I could park in front, and got stuck behind a truck unloading rolls of fabric. The driver had carefully positioned his truck: None Shall Pass. I waited for him to unload, put the pallet back, lower the door, fold up the hoist, then [...]

Yes, I know, same old photos. New and exciting web redesigns coming, rolled out one-two-three this week. Worked on the site a lot this weekend, but also – big suprise, this – went to Southdale on Saturday. They’re rehabbing the long-empty Mervyn’s space for a new store, which is good. On the other hand two [...]
So the long scrape of March ends, with the insult-to-injury day, the Thirty-First. As if thirty days of March is an insufficient ration. April brings the usual hope, and more: tomorrow I order the new gazebo. Stay tuned for horrors.
The penultimate ration of March had its pleasures; had coffee this morning with a [...]
As noted, this is a sorta-kinda hiatus week, as I am taking some time off from work, kid’s out of school, and I am finishing the novel this week. Today’s brief note: I was sitting in a doctor’s waiting room, fiddling around on the iPad (using Zite, which is a fine, fine iPad newsreader). Seated [...]
