So…. This is going to be a long post, so you can ignore it if you like. First the good news… Jenn, Debbie’s gorgeous, dog rescuing genius of an only daughter, has graduated from Brown University Magna Cum Laude. I am absolutely thrilled for Jenn and Debbie, and Spence and Jim, the long suffering former [...]
John’s voice from Conflikt 2. I was crashed out and didn’t hear him play this. You have to register to hear it. Nancy Louise Freeman kindly gave permission to the filk archive to put up the mp3 of Careless (which, coincidentally, I now know well enough to play). Thanks to Harold Stein for forwarding the [...]
I am walking among a thicket of thorns, waking and sleeping. Or perhaps I am crawling. I have come up with a workable solution for a very hard problem, and I cannot implement it because of the law of unintended consequences.
Mama bird is no bird brain. In other news, I am awake. I spent half an hour communing with Miss Margot. Then I tried to do something on my taxes and got stymied on that. Then I realized that as much as I’d like to I am not going back to sleep so I have [...]
Not mine.
no comment Ruth cooked a fabulous meal which Jeff and I joined in at chez Planet Bachelor, I wrote some checks for the new place, got keys, and fell in love with the newly finished hardwood floors. I am SO looking forward to moving in. Miss Margot continues her inexorable march into the annals of [...]
This computational search engine went on line earlier this week. May I suggest that you start with something from the solar system? I’ve just spent an enjoyable couple of minutes comparing orbits and radii of planets and moons in our solar system. And I learned a new word today, eristic. Useful!
Yesterday I fell victim to pathetic fallacy and had another bad day. It was raining pretty hard when I went to work, and I thought about John off and on all day. I feel like I can’t move, can’t function, can’t communicate effectively. A leaden feeling pervades everything. The smallest thing will upset me. Even [...]
Oh, gimme a break.
Zow. Support for the old ways.
My videographer just forwarded a recent video, which is brief and very nice. I like this piece of writing because it’s very rude, without swearing, and it’s about people I didn’t like to begin with. I should have worn better shoes when I went walking last night, but oh well, live and learn. Time to [...]
Food and drink and saw Katie and went to church and goods and services auction and sang Tapioca Song with accompaniment by Tom and Peggy and sloppy joes for supper and Miss Margot seems to have recovered from the eye problem Jeff reported yesterday and went for a walk at Oakalla and saw a radio [...]
I told Tom and Peggy and Paul last night that I wanted to learn every song John used to sing. They obliged by teaching me two; one was Careless by Nancy Freeman which turns out to be super easy and frikkin awesome, and the other is way harder, because Dave and Tracy’s Gentle Arms of [...]
but the audio is, I warn you, painful to listen to. Gentlemen are assembling the back deck and yelling at each other in Urdu, or maybe Panjabi.
I had to get the bite adjusted on a lower molar (it still hurts to bite down but not as much) and I’ve got two cavities to re-excavate prior to losing my dental plan. And I may be in for another crown, but that’s pretty normal, and there is always the possibility that there’s an [...]
