wakey wakey part xvi
I was awake much of the night. First, it was because I had to pee. I can usually do that in my sleep: Get out of bed, totter in the direction of the bathroom, pull down my pants, squat (so I don’t have to turn the lights on), fall asleep as I get the deed… Read.

family camping
Pete e-mailed me the other day asking if I could remember any details about the vacations we took with our mom and dad in the mid 70s. I’ll bet he’s sorry he asked now, because the best I could do was vomit up random fragments of memories, and I mean ‘vomit’ in the best sense… Read.

I went to plug in my fifteen-watt soldering iron yesterday and found that it was already plugged in. Hmmm. The last time I used it was, um … hmmmm. Read.

spoiler
Avast, matey! There be spoilers ahead! On the way home from work Friday night, I asked My Darling B if she wanted to watch the last episode of Breaking Bad. We checked out season two from the library earlier in the week and had watched the whole thing in just a couple of nights, all… Read.

Frrronch fries!
I just heard a radio advertisement announcing special deals at McDonald’s, but only for their ‘a la carte’ items. When did McDonald’s become so frou-frou that they started advertising in French? Read.
