There is iced coffee and it is too damn hot to do much of anything except (try) to think and (maybe) write.

And it's been over 3 months since I tried to do this particular brand of entry...

*Dusts off the concept*

"You have to understand, for my breed this is basically Christmas in July!"The above was the explanation I gave ( Read more... )

Its been a while since I've written these.

And now, much like when the guy/girl you used to date but stopped calling and thought had finally gotten the hit starts calling you again, they are back.

And damn right I've got a cup of coffee at my side.

"Hey, F#@k You! I Won Wyoming!"I could imagine the above actually being ( Read more... )

I woke way too early after a late night of rock `n roll, partying, crankin' it up, and playing till my fingers bled.

This is also known as going through an entire Co-Op career on Guitar Hero with my 7 year-old son. A kid who, you should know, can rock the bass line of Iron Maiden's "Number of the Beast" like nobody's business! (Seriously, this ( Read more... )

Many a relative got it right for Christmas this year, as I got not only a great new coffeemaker but also a variety of beans and grounds to try out. This morning it's Mocha Chocolate Heaven On In a Cup.

Actually, its not really called that. It just tastes that way.

"But Then My Homework Was Never Quite Like This"I am pleased ( Read more... )

There is so much to do today that I almost feel like I should neglect this. But then again... there is a big part of me that needs this. There is a reason these 'Rounds' have become a ritual for me ( Read more... )

I've been a little less attentive to 'The Rounds' over the past couple of months than I would normally be. Schedule changes (i.e., I get to sleep in Sundays), podcast production, the holidays, etc ( Read more... )

There are 7 children sleeping downstairs right now. Seven! In an hour or so they will all wake up with sugar hangovers and yet stil find the intestinal fortitude to be loud as hell.

You think I need some coffee?

"La Fiesta!"Bailey had 6 friends over for his 11th birthday party. One couldn't spend the night but the rest, as I ( Read more... )

I've said it before but I think it is worth repeating: Ben Franklin... part genius, part asshole.

Ah well, nothing a few days to regain my circadian rhythm can't cure. Barring that, I'll just tweak my coffee habit (in much the same way I suspect old Ben adjusted his tea habit).

The season turns, the sky in the northwest goes from blue to gray in a hurry, and before you know it you have to change the thermostat setting from "Cool" to "Heat". And its dark outside while I wait for the coffee to finish brewing. My Indian summer has gone marching.

"Running Out of Time"I really haven't got a lot to write ( Read more... )

I plan to be brief this morning.

So brief that I fully expect to have this entry done before I need a refill.

Well...maybe a second refill. Or something.

On to The Rounds...

"Harvest"I finally had 2 days off in a row and I need it as much to prepare for the next few weeks as I do to recover from the past few. Work has been busy and about to get ( Read more... )
