It has been pointed out to me that some readers fell asleep while reading the previous post. *ahem*
Get some freakin’ coffee, people! I can’t be consistently witty and entertaining every minute of every day! It takes work. Hard work.
Honestly, you have no idea what it’s like to live in this head.
Anyway, [...]
Well, this should be interesting: Apple has taken up podcasting.
Translation: There are scads of websites out there that produce audio files (mp3s and the like) in the same manner that we bloggers produce text entries. You can either visit their sites periodically and download the files manually to listen to them, or you [...]
Where does the phrase “nose to the grindstone” come from, anyway? Was there ever actually a profession where in order to really get work done, you had to give yourself massive nasal abrasions? That doesn’t make a lot of sense to me.
Today I guess it is more like “nose to the hard drive [...]
After the ineffable dreariness caused by the Skelaxin, I finally had a lucid and wonderful day yesterday. I spent it at my mom’s house on the river in the company of my brother, my sister, and their respective families.

Someday I’d like to talk to the [...]
“Am I ‘hurting’ right now?”
I kept rolling that thought around in my head yesterday around 4:30 in the afternoon. I was on FM 2696 on the homeward leg of a 40-mile out-and-back loop. My original plan for the day had been to get up at 6:00, drive to Boerne Town Lake and do [...]
Sometimes the only redeeming feature of a mistake is that you know exactly how it happened. I present exhibit A in my current effort to convince myself that I can live with ripping out 13 rows of the Henna shawl:
So, what happened here? Why does that yarn over border of the center panel [...]
So I had this dream . . .
I’m sitting at one end of a playing field working on the Henna shawl. To my right is a warehouse-style building, and to the left is a road the winds back into the hills in the distance. A game is going on on the field, but [...]
