measly 20 bucks
I bought a coffee pot from a guy on e-bay. Well, no, wait. If I say I’ve bought a coffee pot, you might assume I gave the guy money and he sent me a coffee pot. You might even assume I now possess a coffee pot. I do not and, as far as I know,… Read.

faster
While I was driving around all weekend I listened to more pop music on the radio that I usually do in a whole month. A whole lot more. So much that I exceeded all my quotas and won’t have to listen to pop music again for at least a year, thank goodness. I think I… Read.

lively
I’m still alive, promise, I’ve just been overly occupied doing other things this weekend. I will tell you all about it when I get twenty minutes to sit down and pound the keys. Right now, though, I’m tired and I gotta go to bed. in the meantime, here’s some Genki Sudo to amuse you: I’m… Read.

lull
Thursday night is guy night, the night I’m in charge of putting food on the family, and while I could have taken My Darling B straight home and burned some animal flesh on the Weber, instead I suggested that we spend the evening relaxing on the patio at Mickey’s Tavern with a couple of beers… Read.

bulb
While I was unloading dishes from the wash machine yesterday morning and so luckily had my back to the room, one of the light bulbs in the dining room light fixture went ka-POW! I jumped about a foot in the air. The pieces were still settling when I hit the ground. The fixture is one… Read.

dogs
I realized the Nazis were coming for us when their dogs emerged from the edge of the woods.

blister
It has been a day. Everything was fine to start with. Morning coffee with the morning news, one sucked, the other didn’t. While B got ready to go to the farmer’s market, I threw a load of dirty clothes into the wash machine and cranked it up, then went about the rest of my morning… Read.

zap
So, the thing that really amazed me about the news that neutrinos might possibly travel faster than light (I’m not convinced) was not that this would change all physics forever and make Einstein a dooty-head as well, it was that physicists were using the Large Hadron Collider in Bern, Switzerland, like a particle-beam cannon to… Read.

bummer
National Public Radio has been presenting a series of articles about growing old and retiring that don’t make it sound all that appealing. As a matter of fact, they make it sound like a great big bummer. “Retirement: Reality Not As Rosy As Expectation” is all about how retirement was not at all what people… Read.

doink
Sorry, not much time left over to drivel tonight. I spent a couple hours doinking around with train track on the model layout in the basement, and when I thought I couldn’t justify spending any more time on that, I went upstairs, sat my butt down in the recliner and read other people’s drivel posted… Read.
