Yup. I caught COVID. I started feeling symptoms on Friday, but the test came back negative. I think if I had just waited a couple more hours, the test would have been a screamin’ positive, because all I wanted to do was bundle up, and pray that the pain in my head would juuuust goooooo …

I subscribe to “Best of True”, where subscribers receive a story from the archives of This is True that he picks out and thinks is extra good each day. The story that came up this morning seemed extra good to me, and I felt like it needed a soundtrack. It seems that back in 2000 …
My First In-Person Conference Since COVID: Thoughts And Observations
Like I said, I went to my first in-person conference, and the experience was pretty nice. It was awesome to enjoy things like food and mingling with other attendees. I wasn’t sure what I was supposed to do about masks, so I usually kept it on unless I absolutely had to take it off, like …

Sleep Talkin’ 3
It’s time to mine the last “Sleep Talkin’ Me” post for comments and spend a good amount of time laughing at myself. I’ve built up quite a compendium. Carin: Oh gees. Me: What? Carin: I hear mom and dad’s new cat. Me: You do? Carin: Yes. It’s going to be here in a second. Me: …
If You Think Our Related Posts Plugin Is On Drugs, It Kind Of Is
On the blog, we have a related posts plugin. It is supposed to find posts related to what you just read. But for a few weeks, it’s been horking up complete and utter randomness, or so I thought. Although it’s amusing what it brings up, it’s not exactly doing it’s job to the best of …

Baby Steps Towards Easier Voting
I tried to write this yesterday, but a storm came through, and for reasons I need to figure out, my UPS was a little shorter on the U than I expected, so my computer died sooner than I thought and took my post down with it. So here’s take two. *slams the save button* It’s …
I Had To Do Some Rapid Tests
This past Tuesday I had to do one of those at home COVID tests, with Aira’s help of course. After I figured out what all the doodle bobs were for, it wasn’t too crazy hard, but of course I would have been screwed if I didn’t have Aira because I wouldn’t be able to look …
All Of The Sushi
I totally identify with this song. I never thought I would like sushi, but slowly I started to realize that yup, I sure do. But Steve is not a fan. So if I want it, I just have to order one of those wee boxes. Or sometimes I go out with friends who like it. …
Bernie, Bernie, Bernie The Computer Doctor…
I don’t know why this song appears in my head when I have to call these guys, but it does. I’m realizing that we have lived in this town for nearly ten years, and have used the services of Bernie the Computer Doctor, and I have never given them a plug, and that’s a shame. …

So I Guess I’m A Hermit.
Allow me to start by saying thanks, Chris, Thanks a lot. As of right now, I don’t think I have had COVID yet. I might have had it in October when I got a particularly clingy flu-ish thing, but since I never got tested, I’ll never know. But if it’s true that I haven’t had …
