I’ve been wanting to post this all week, but haven’t wanted to think about it again. But I might as well think about it, because I have to face it again tomorrow. My mom has a friend she’s known since college named Mary Anne (little tidbit that I find funny- her “group” in college was […]
We just had AT&T out here looking at our dsl lines, but of course the issue we’ve been having didn’t repeat itself while he was here. Apparently though, other people in the building are having trouble too. The tech was really cute, though possibly not the brightest light in the sky. Now, generally I would […]
I’ve written about some pretty tough stuff here. Oddly, I went through something today that somehow feels worse than all of that. I know, intellectually that some of the stuff I’ve gone through felt this bad or worse- but maybe this feels like it hurts more because the other times, it was me that was […]
Yesterday my office complex had a blood drive. Being a regular donor, I was more than happy to take part. I invariably get a bruise at the injection site, but it’s harmless and goes away in a few days so it bothers me not one bit. But last night, the crook of my elbow was […]
I swear I have the weirdest housemates ever. Saturday evening I was sitting in the TV room reading a book, and TambourineMan comes into the house, apparently does not see that I am reading and asks, “How do I make my hair white?” Uhh… Huh? I looked up from my book, gave him a funny […]

So, Keegan has this project car… it’s a 1987 Lincoln Towncar. It is huge. You could fit three of me in that trunk, and the trunk is the smallest part of the car. Keegan had taken it to a shop to see about getting the transmission fixed. The shop did not want to work on […]
I just called my doctor’s office to try to get an urgent care appointment. The conversation with their receptionist went like this: Receptionist (R): Primary Care Group. Me: Hi, I’d like to make an appointment with Doctor Lady or one of her associates. I got a letter saying Doctor Lady was leaving the practice, is […]
Brad and I had a discussion about religion last week that we both felt was worth sharing, so this is up over at his place too. Brad was not raised with church as a regular part of his life. I grew up in a Christian family and was pretty hardcore (to the point of semi-obnoxiousness, […]
There are a couple of segments of song lyrics that are really resonating with me right now; the chorus of Five For Fighting’s “Two Lights” (the title track of his new album): Tear out my heart Feed it to lions For this one wish I beg you this tonight Show me no mercy, But spare […]
