The Happy List
- Saw the late showing of the new Indiana Jones flick last night with Tamara / mauzybroadway at my favorite theater in Roanoke, the Grandin. I'm still humming the music, particularly Indy's theme. And yeah, I know all the gripes about the movie and can understand where these folks are coming from, but still...it's Indiana Jones. :) And Karen Allen is still ( Read more... )

All Tuckered Out And Weezy (2 Videos Plus 12 Big Photos)
When Laurie and I took in our Big Dog, Tucker, a few days past a year ago, he was pretty wild and undisciplined. Among other things, he loved to run around campus and the woods nearby, and while he would always come home...eventually...you couldn't exactly rely on him coming when you called. He's gotten much more disciplined thanks to our efforts ( Read more... ) -
Good Stuff
King Arthur: Old woman!
Dennis: Man.
King Arthur: Man, sorry. What knight lives in that castle over there?
Dennis: I'm 37.
King Arthur: What?
Dennis: I'm 37. I'm not old.
(With thanks to my Mrs. for reminding me of that skit. :) )

When You're Living In America At The End Of The Millennium
I haven't reported much here lately because there hasn't been much to report--mainly I'm working a lot, not getting any writing done (except one poem while proctoring a math test), and with apologies to eugie I'm now two days late with my final Tangent review (the September '07 issue of Asimov's). At least I can say that Laurie is back home (she'd been ( Read more... ) -

Random Thoughts
- Laurie is away for a few days helping a friend who is in a bad way right now. The house is awfully big and lonely when she's gone--and suddenly a Big Dog and five cats act as if they are actually three times that many. :)
- I have a Double Whopper With Extra Cheese And Special Sauce physical at our campus clinic tomorrow morning. I imagine they'll ( Read more... )

Five Of One, Half-A-Decade Of The Other
Laurie reminded me the other day that we're coming up on our five-year anniversary. (And 2008 will mark the ten-year anniversary of our meeting, but that'll be another post someday.) This milestone made me think of five points (no relation to the neighborhood in New York City):
- This represents about one-seventh of my life so far. (Where does the ( Read more... )

It hurts.
Can't sleep.
Cats demanding to know what I've done with the Mommy.
No fun.
But she's coming back tonight--huzzah! And then we'll be turning around and leaving again, hopefully together. :) -
Excited Though You'd Never Know It!
Sometimes I think I'm too reserved for my own good, so I'm using lots of exclamation marks tonight! With that warning...!
I'm sitting in a dark library typing this and it's late and I've got other things on my in-home slate tonight, so I'll make this short and sweet and fill in details later!
