hunting
Ugh. Zombie dreams last night. Nothing too graphic. I was living in a warehouse with a couple hundred other refugees from the zombie apocalypse. Spent most of the dream doing pretty mundane things. Then, in the middle of the night, I woke up after zombies started getting into the warehouse somehow, and each time I… Read.

catch-up
Today I took care of a hodgepodge of things I probably would’ve gotten done yesterday if I hadn’t gone shopping for a refrigerator with My Darling B, then rented a truck to haul the refrigerator we bought home, then hauled the refrigerator home, then returned the truck, then moved the refrigerator into the basement, collapsed… Read.

frigid
We slept like babies last night, probably because we’re not used to moving heavy appliances. For months, we’ve been talking about getting a small, second-hand refrigerator to keep at the bottom of the stairs in the basement for beer, soda pop, fresh fruit and various other sundries that fill up the big fridge in the… Read.

deserted
Biking home from work in the hundred-degree heat yesterday afternoon, I couldn’t help noticing that the bike path was nearly deserted. There’s a trail that runs behind the office building where I work, and it t-bones the Capital City bike trail, which runs parallel to Willy Street and Atwood Avenue. It’s usually chockablock with bicycle… Read.

glow
The three-day forecast on the National Weather Service’s web page had blazing orange suns for Thursday and Friday, so when I packed my saddle bags for the bike ride to work yesterday, I stuffed them with a pair of rolled-up shorts, a baggy shirt and a pair of flip-flops to change into for the ride… Read.

bleeping bleep
I was back in the lobby of the student union at my alma mater, UW-Eau Claire, scanning the faces for my mother, when whom did I see across the room but my brother. He was doing the same thing I was, and when our eyes met his expression seemed to say to me, Oh, you,… Read.

fishy
Well, that was a weird dream. I had a grouper in an aquarium. Goupers are typically pretty enormous fish, but this one was only an inch or so long. I’m not sure how I knew it was a grouper, other than it was a dream and I just knew. I had other fish in the… Read.

success
Well, I’ve had the whole day off and all I’ve done is ride my bike around the lake, rearrange some books and watched videos of George Carlin on YouTube. A pretty successful day off, from my point of view. Oh, and I pet the cat. He really thought that was an especially good use of… Read.

leakey
Our water heater started leaking last Friday and has been leaking steadily all weekend, but because it wasn’t spraying water all over the basement and we still had hot water, and because I’m CHEAP, I didn’t call a plumber until this morning. It was the same plumber that installed the water heater about four years… Read.
