I have roof tiles!

In an amazing achievement, there were approximately 10 pallets of roof tiles in my driveway when I got home. This may not seem exciting to most people who wonder where one would park with such an obstacle. Allow me to assure you this is the best thing that could happen. I am now closer to […]

Randomness Part Trois

Let’s see where to begin. Today, at work, I upgraded from Outlook Express to Outlook. I can’t say I’m happy. There are so many little things with Outlook that bug me. The two biggest issues being the address book (Contacts) aren’t working properly and I can’t figure it out, nor can any of the so-called […]

Sometimes you feel like a nut; sometimes you don’t

Sometimes you feel like a nut; sometimes you don’t . — Old TV Commercial (Mounds & Almond Joy) Well I came across this on someone else’s blog. Now, I can’t remember whose blog it was so I can’t give them credit. However, this item of clothing is so cool, it is noteworthy. Yes, a bright […]

Dripping Shit, the plumber’s tale

Once upon a midnight dreary, while I pondered weak and weary, there came a dripping at the ceiling’s tile. Right. Enough Poe, I agree. So about six months ago, I found a small water-stain in my living room ceiling, about the size of a nickel. It looked old, so I ignored it, and then finally […]

Blowing Blood Out Your Nose

The subject says it all. I woke up sneezing blood. That prompted me to fax the doctor at 6am “Call me when you come in!” I now have antibiotics for my sinus infection coupled with bronchitis. I also have a side order of laryngitis, but that’s just a bonus ailment: contract two, get a third […]

Dave Barry

I flew to Las Vegas this past Monday for a pair of conventions (yawn) and also to see the new Cirque show Love (more later). I was standing in line to board, and I thought to myself “the back of this guy’s head looks awfully familiar.” He turned briefly to hand his boarding card to […]

I’ve Moved to Blogger Beta

I’m not sure how this will work, but I’ve decided to be proactive and beat the curve. Let’s see how well it works. Expect a new look really soon. Your patience with my learning curve is appreciated! It’s really frustrating so far. I’ve got to tell you. I’ve added an HR tag between posts until […]

Randomness Part Deux

All sorts of things running around my brain today. Scooter’s sick. Not sure what. She was at the vet today and we make a return trip a week from today. She’s dehydrated even though she’s drinking.A full battery of tests have been ordered. The real problem — and what I brought her in for — […]

Profundity

Every now and then I steal from my own website for a post. This is from the “CMOT TMPV” section and entitled profundity. 9-11-01. The unbearable sadness of life in the modern world. I still can’t watch those pictures. (I’m sure you know which ones I’m talking about.) The Challenger accident. It affected me deeply, […]

Randomness

Wow. I realize it’s time I get some updated into this blog, so here’s a large collection of Random thoughts to bring us up to speed. I went to work this weekend but the DSL was down so I didn’t accomplish as much as I would have liked. My DirecTV has been out for over […]
