wakey-wakey part mcmlxiv
Let’s see, how does this work? Oh, yeah: Wake up too early, make coffee, cat on my lap, type up some drivel. Mmmm, coffee. Gone back to making it drip. Still like my coffee gadgets, but drip is the way to go. That’s my official word on that. Take it to the bank. Tell ’em… Read.

blah blah blah
Out of bed early again after waking up thinking about work. Man, that sucks. I don’t get why this happens. It’s my damn brain. I should be able to switch off the part of it that thinks about work. Even if that part of it is tangled up in every other part of my brain,… Read.

alchemy
“Home?” I asked My Darling B before I put the car in drive to pull away from the curb in front of the office last night. “No. Alchemy. We’re eating out tonight,” she answered, naming our favorite after-work restaurant. It was that kind of a day for her, too, then. Read.

tea mug
The inside of the coffee mug that I use at the office as a tea mug had acquired such a rich patina that it was impossible to tell what color it had once been, so I brought it home and gave it a good going-over with a Brillo pad, which I thought would take forever… Read.

a healthy walk
I shouldn’t have eaten that last cookie. I went for a walk after dinner, because it’s, y’know, healthy. Mostly all I do is sit on my butt all day long. That’s my job. Professional butt-sitter. It doesn’t take a lot of physical activity to supervise a total of ten people, even when you throw a… Read.

an hotel
See if you can figure out what this dream is supposed to mean: I was in the hallway of a hotel looking for the room that B asked me to meet her in. She said there was a surprise waiting for me there. When I found the room and opened the door, there was another… Read.

woo to the hoo
I woke up this morning about a half hour before the alarm went off and thought to myself: Whoo-hoo! Saturday! Ain’t gotta get up today! As I laid there, basking in happiness, a funny feeling came over me as I remembered that I’d set my alarm clock the night before. I should shut that off… Read.

rerun
I had the strange experience of watching a rerun of a dream last night. My Darling B stole about a trillion dollars that Jack Nicholson stole from a bank, and I helped her steal it by hiding it under the floorboards while Jack was sleeping in the bathtub. He went into a Nicholsonian rage when… Read.

ramblin
In spite of daylight savings time I was in bed by nine last night and couldn’t keep my eyes open past nine-thirty, so why am I awake at four o’clock this morning? Well, part of it is because we have cats, of course, but it’s also because I woke up gasping for air after my… Read.
