Bleh. That wasn’t the most wonderful update I’ve ever had. Williams and McDaniel called me back. And the short answer is they’re not going to do anything about the elevator’s alarm system. Until it totally and completely breaks, and they have to replace it with a new one, this alarm bell ringing to nowhere is …

Elevator Up…Date
Well, I have a small update to the elevator story. They were quite good about going up and down with me late at night and early in the morning, and by mid morning, the manager said things were fixed. For now, I think I feel safe in the elevator, although I catch myself trying to …
The Ballad Of Stompin’ Tom
I missed the All-Star game. I’m sure that makes me a bad baseball fan according to some rule or other, but if put in my position you’d do the same thing…at least you would if you’re not one to be eluded by sanity. I haven’t been the best at writing about all of the concerts …
Williams And McDaniel, Wake Up To The Alarm Bell
Goddamn it I’m shaking, and I didn’t go through anything super uber scary. I mean, I did, but on the scale, there are far worse things. But it’s been a little while, and I’m still sitting here, heart pounding, having trouble getting air. Here’s the scene. I’m taking Trix out to pee. It’s 30 degrees …

Happy Birthday, Canada!
Before we start, here’s your Canada related soundtrack. Perhaps I should have linked some Stompin’ Tom again since it looks like I’m going to see him live in a couple weeks, but this was the first song that popped into my brain. I love how I said before we get started as if I’ve got …
It’s Me! Remember Me?
I’m feeling all frazzled so maybe if I ramble, I can unfrazzle myself. I’m sitting here, time’s going tick tock, and my brain is screaming at a fever pitch “You have so many things to do! Do them! Do them now!” At the same time, an equally loud voice yells “But you either don’t have …
The Hupster Turned 2!
Well holy crap, the huppy is 2. He’s 2! I still think about him as a wee tiny baby. I still remember coming to see him when he was only hours old. Now he’s 2. And boy is he learning stuff. He’s really really talking. Now when he sees me, he tries to yell out …
This Would Be The Best Drive Ever
Last time I posted something about cars, it involved, as is so often the case around here, things not going well. This one, though, is exactly the opposite. I’m not generally the type to see one of those hey everybody, look at the blind guy live his life! It’s amazing! type stories and actually think …
Skimming Scum!
This morning, all seemed right with the world. I was tickin’ along like usual. Who knew I would pick up the phone, and a voice that sounded like RealSpeak Tom would flip my world on its head for a while. Thankfully, things turned out pretty well. When I picked up the phone, a voice said …
We Live Among Morons That Are Going To Be The Death Of Us
I love our apartment building. The rent is pretty good. We’ve got a nice balcony. There’s a full laundry room with brand new machines and dryers that actually work. There’s a party room we can book if we need lots of space. We’ve got a swimming pool. And for the most part, we’ve got good …
