A follow on for yesterday’s post. I forgot to mention a funny anecdote. When we got to Boots, and Karen was asking about her cough medicine, the pharmacist listened and told her “You’re chesty” and there was a moment of hilarity because what Karen thought he meant and what he really meant were not the […]
Left my house Christmas Day night. Karen arrived at the same time the taxi did, and we were at the airport way too early (her request) so we could go the lounge. I warned her the MIA lounge is a shared lounge and not so great. She now agrees. We boarded on time and our […]
As if. Anyway, last night I finally was able to fix a long-established irritant on my Mac. There’s an ACL error that has always shown up in my monthly disk-check feature. All articles say it’s harmless and just an irritant. However, it makes DiskUtility take an hour to run instead of 3 or 4 minutes […]
As I write this, on the HAMMERSMITH & CITY LINE: Minor delays are occurring due to staff shortages. I love Tube widgets. I mean, it’s not like I’m going to be on it today, but still. And I have BART widgets too: SF Airport train 1 min, 15 min, 30 min. I won’t be on […]
The news will be tomorrow. There will be no news today due to complications unrelated to me or Scooter. There was an emergency involving another critter in the vet’s office. I had only 10 minutes of visiting time tonight and she was very happy to see me. I hope it’s early in the day ’cause […]
I came home to a phone message from a South Florida police agency (to be named later) that someone has been arrested with oodles of my personal information and asking if I’ve been the victim of Identity Theft. I missed the detective in question, but I left him a detailed voice mail and told him […]
Just a bit more. I spoke to the detective in question. I can’t really say too much. The person arrested IS a bank employee at BankAtlantic — as I suspected. He had the names and details of a LOT of people. He was captured with the help of BankAtlantic (yay) and many months ago, you […]

I came home today, shut the door quickly as I’ve done for many years to keep the cat from getting out, and was like suddenly “oh, damn.” More leaky eyes. Then, I opened my mail and there was a nice sympathy card from the vet. Not a form card either. She wrote a personal message. […]
Let’s start with something “normal” — this was sent to me by my friend Dan (he’s a musician). It’s some kid singing a cover the Police’s Roxanne. He’s about 13, has a voice that will blow you away and plays both the guitar and drums. Phenomenal. And he’s even having a good time. Click here. […]
