Ug! I’ve talked about email hug certificates before. Now they’re coming in text messages! I powered up my cellphone this morning, and it said I had a new message. It was from a friend in California. It said “I love who you are.” I thought that was quite the outpouring from someone who is friendly, …

The Survey Says, "Bzzz!"
I think I’ve encountered the first loophole in the whole Do Not Call List thing. I do have to say that we have seen a huge drop in telemarketing calls. Yea! By the way, access coordinator, where’s my damn follow-up call? But that’s beside the point. The other day, I got a call on my …
Wacky Random November Thoughts
I had some random thoughts, so figured I should heave them up here in no particular order. Although you’d never know it from today’s weather, which I want to see stay as long as possible, that bastard old man known as winter is going to show up and I’m not looking forward to it. When …
Me+Math = No Buys
And If You Direct Your Attention To The X-Axis, You’ll Find I Have No Idea What I’m Talking About If for some reason I ever found myself teaching a math class, this is exactly what it would be like. I don’t know why, but the ability to do math, even the really simple stuff, has …
Something To Consider

Whenever somebody says it, you can’t help but picture some guy from the 1500’s humping a giant land mass and then 9 months later or whatever the gestation period for a thriving world power would be, office buildings …
Holy Crap, Is TheWorld About To End?

From Fiery Rage To Fiery Death
I heard about the story of Serena Sutton-Smith and felt unbelievably sad and disturbed. Here’s the story. Apparently, she came off a side-road and rammed another woman’s car. Then she started revving her engine like mad, so hard that she caused her front tires to disintegrate, her wheels to dig into the road, sparks ignited …
Random Observations
There have been a few things happening to me lately as I walk around that I thought were interesting enough to write down. Here they are, in somewhat random order. People have this very cute need to protect me. The other morning as I took Trixie down for her first of the morning business, I …
A realization
I had a funny thought strike me as I walked home tonight. Trixie and I were walking along and as we passed a group of dudes, one said, “What a beautiful girl.” I smiled and said, “yeah, she’s an awesome dog,” and kept going. a little while later, I thought, “Ya know, someone could hit …
