The parents got me a new digital camera for my birthday. It’s cute. It takes great video — with sound! The sucky thing is that it’s a camera made especially for Windows, so the software can’t be installed on my Mac and I’ve had to be guided by tech support through a process by which [...]

They come in threes
James Brown, Gerald Ford, Saddam Hussein.
What a weird week.
I don’t know how long I will have to work in the news business before the surreal nature of major breaking news makes any more sense to me. We meet and meet and plan and plan and sketch and ponder and set up all these [...]

The Christmas haul
Monday morning I headed to my parents’ with a carload of gifts and Felix. It was raining and in my haste to load my car (we’re talking 10 trips up and down my tiny twisting staircase and across the parking lot, which was one giant ankle-deep puddle), I had shoved my bottle of water underneath [...]

You love until you don’t
Monday marked a quarter-century I’ve been using up this Earth’s precious resources and processed cheeses. I’m finding (among other clichés) that life doesn’t ever get any easier. Ever. That things you think you’ll figure out by the time you’re X years old, you gradually understand less and less, to the point where every momentary distraction [...]

Home stretch
It’s technically Christmas Eve. In roughly six hours I’ll be rolling out of bed and joining the throngs of slackers at the mall to wrap up some loose ends.

Surprise!
Sometimes you’re up late sipping wine and suddenly you’ve redesigned your blog.

Konnichiwa, T&G 2007!
I made sure to drunkenly confess to Travis Beckham, proprietor of SquidfingersIncidentally, I have a wicked case of hiccups now. I went back to the thread at Ms. Jag’s and decided that I’d just have to fend for [...]

Cruisin’
Traveled to lovely Horn Lake, Miss., to get the car back today. The bastard started the first time I tried, and hasn’t not started since. And my new brakes are deliciously tight and cushy, much like _________’s mom (reader’s choice).
So, victory. Whee!
Phil was hopped up on endorphins all day today. He won a beautiful, [...]

This is cool
The Seattle Times, in light of the recent major storms and blackouts and whatnot, printed multi-lingual PSAs on the front page, warning of the dangers of carbon monoxide poisoning from charcoal heat and generators (from which six people have died and a hundred hospitalized).
This will likely disappoint the “Speak English or Move!” crowd, but [...]

27 years
The font of DNA from whence this blogger sprang.
These two have been together for 27 years today. I don’t know how they do it. But they do. And I can’t be more happy for them.
