That’s not code or a euphemism or anything. Sorry. I just hate puzzles. Screw you, Sudoku, and the horse you rode in on. Why that should be I’ve no damned idea. In general I really love figuring things out. But as for puzzles per se, I suppose my attitude is, Oh, fucking get on with it. If [...] Sounds like an HK martial arts flick, doesn’t it? Except, while there are real crane styles, what would pheasant gongfu look like? You strut about obnoxiously, inviting everyone to admire how beautiful you are, then flee squawking frantically at the first sign of danger? Not pictured: martial arts master. Emma and I went for a [...] Holy cats! That was alarming. My heartrate’s still zipping along, even after the obligatory 5+ minute wait for my WordPress dashboard to load. (Sadly, I do not exaggerate.) At about 3 AM I was comfortably asleep when Squeak, who was lying up by my head, shot off the bed as if launched from a ballista. I [...] 12/25/08 – Well, the big day is here. Merry Christmas everybody! Overall things do well here: the pets and I are all okay, my friends seem to be healthy. It’s good. I am peeved, however, over my woes trying to get cell phone service restored. Apparently on Sunday while walking Emma on the ditch west of my [...] As threatened last time, I made an experimental batch of green chile chicken soup for dinner tonight. Turned out I had 3 cups of chicken broth left over. Using the proportions from the pumpkin soup, I put in a cup of heavy cream and brought it to a boil. To add a bit of [...] So today Emma and I got an early start for a walk on Bear’s Ditch – before noon! Yay! It’s a beautiful autumn day. The trees have mostly turned gold. The grass in the RGNC field, which a giant noisy machine was mowing as we left, is still green. The sky was clear and painfully pure [...] Guess who just got back today? With a shout out to Thin Lizzy and the long-lost Phil Lynott. Yes, it’s silly. And I’m not even sure they just got back today. But [...] Life’s been a bit on top of me again, as you may surmise from the gap in my blogging. I’ve been trying hard to catch up on writing and having some difficulties with sleep patterns, in large part due to the loud construction work on the sidewalks that’ve been going on outside my bedroom window [...] As you might imagine, I’ve been mighty dilatory about turning the old compost of late. So today I decided I’d get to it. I’m feeling better, and physical activity helps sharpen my mind. And something sure has to. Because even without being turned – i.e., aerated – the stuff in the bin smelled mostly like [...] Not the Sufi classic of that name, nor yet the Chaucerian tale, but my own backyard. See what I mean? Not only can you find adventure in your own backyard, but enlightenment too. Such a deal! So around 2 PM I wandered into the kitchen. It’s cloudy and not hot outside today, although [...] |
