License plate seen on the way to work this morning: NTDEDYT. Enty deed white? Ent duh dye tee? I couldn’t figure it out. Fortunately for me (or, depending on the situation, unfortunately) I tend to think out loud, so My Darling B heard my phonological struggles and lent me a helping hand: “Not dead yet.”… Read.

mostly
At long last, two days and three nights during which I shall not spend a single minute staring at application forms on a computer screen. I don’t even have to think about it, although I know that I probably will. I am right now, for instance. It’s just one of those things I can’t completely… Read.

Farty McFartpants
She just called me Farty McFartpants in the most endearing way possible. That’s how you can tell it’s true love. She’s My Darling B and I’m her Farty McFartpants. Read.

guy night plus one
Time for an early guy night. I am the one who makes dinner this evening, a decision arrived at on the way to the grocery store when My Darling B was having one hell of a time trying to come up with something quick and simple to make. It came to me pretty easily: spaghetti… Read.

cracked
My heel cracked open today. Happens every so often in the dry air of the winter months, or at least it does now. The ends of my fingers will split now and again if I don’t keep them lotioned, too. Hurts like a mother and takes days to heal. All this by way of taking… Read.

spit
Maybe you read about it today, maybe you didn’t: Radio astronomers working for the past seven years at the south pole have succeeded for the first time in measuring gravitational waves, or, in other words, science has taken a big step in formulating a unifying theory. How did The New York Times explain it? Why, thusly: If… Read.

lazy lazy lazy
We ain’t doin’ nothin’ today. All the stuff we had to do, we did yesterday, and then some. I cleaned and dusted all the books in a 6-foot-tall book case. Tell me that isn’t going above and beyond. Go ahead, just try to tell me that, because lah-lah-lah, I can’t hear you! I dusted more… Read.

bleary-eyed
I have been wide-awake since four o’clock, which was my usual five o’clock wake-up time until last weekend. This is my obligatory “I hate daylight savings time” post. Thank you. Come back later for more. I’ll be bleary-eyed all week. Read.

lotsa stuff
Pretty slow day. Mostly I just watched the hell out of Netflix while I sprawled in a recliner, trying to find a position that was relatively comfortable while allowing my sinuses to drain. Didn’t find one. Watched the first two episodes — about fourth-two hours — of The War by Ken Burns, which I found… Read.

snorfeling
I took the day off from work to do some snorfeling. Snorfeling is what you do when there’s enough mucus in your head to clog all the sinuses in Dane County. I did it pretty much all day in the living room recliner with a cat curled up in my lap. The cat’s not necessary… Read.
