So, with the milestones I’ve reached here at the office, I thought my run of ‘successfulness’ would go unabated. I was going to whip this place into shape, score a bunch of contracts, and make this thing crank even harder than before. However, since October, several patients have died (one of which I believe I [...]
Not that I’m going to say I was right, but… I’ve been saying this on and off for a year – failed economic policies are weakening the dollar in the international market. And, the U.S. is a super power in heavy decline. And finally, wars are no longer fought with the gun but with the [...]
I’m going to refrain from going into a full blown rant about ‘friends’ but hey, it is what it is, right? I think I’m justifiably annoyed, for reasons I won’t disclose… yet. — If I can’t rant about that, I will rant about this. Beauty is the eye of the beholder. What the hell? Apparently [...]
It’s remarkable how a long weekend with the wife and kitties doing no work and having a wonderful thanksgiving dinner (home made mashed potatoes! to die for), plus hours of doing nothing but enjoying the house affects one’s mood. Still worn out, but I feel a lot better. I did the math – when Lisa [...]
Both Lisa and I have been run ragged as usual with the fixing of the house. I’m not sure why it’s going so slowly, all I know is that it just is. Yesterday, I spackled and put on two coats of paint in the kitchen, and that took me up to 12AM. Lisa was up [...]
Why privacy? We hung curtains! We’ve finally hung curtains in every room, except the nursery. The nursery is of course a room we’ve been holding off on fixing until the rest of the house is settled. How exciting! We can walk around the house in peace now – the future college tuition of our baby [...]
After the comments from the last post, Totoro is actually a pretty neat name. Upon closer study, wikipedia has a good synopsis. One has to wonder if it is impossible for the car to not be named that. Also, one has to wonder how the writer of Totoro ended up directing Lupin III. Go figure. [...]
I wanted to add to the previous topic, to answer questions that more than one person posed to me. First, I could’ve learned heel/toe. Actually, that is true – and I did learn it. However, my shoes have such huge soles, I couldn’t feel the pedal/brake when trying to do it. I could do it [...]
Rather than belabor this, since I lack both the cord for my camera and desk space, I will just say it outright: The ‘Grim Fandango’ is no more. I’m trading my five speed xB in for another car. Whoa, whoa whoa. Let’s not be THAT dramatic. I’m trading it in for an automatic xB. But, [...]
. . . Sorry to be unimaginative, Mr. M_m, but I guess I’m stealing from you. More on this story… next week
