  I got a phone call from a moocher this morning. Stand on a street corner with a cardboard sign, or make the most of technology and call me on the phone; either way, you’re just a moocher if you’re begging me for money. It was so unusual for the phone to ring any time before… Read.

  “Unlike other animals, humans are quite comfortable sleeping on our backs.

The effect is to leave us restless for… Read.

  It’s guy night! Otherwise known as We’re going out to eat, honey! My Darling B usually has the car and picks me up from work, but tonight I had the car and picked B up, putting us both on the west side of town at exactly the time that both our tummies started growling in… Read.

  We both worked late last night, so we both liked the idea of quick and easy dinner, which lead us to Roman Candle for pizza. That’s it. Ate out again. Roman Candle. Pizza. That’s all I got. Not much else to tell. Oh, I was working late so I could move a bunch of files… Read.

  We paid a visit to the Monroe Cheese Fest yesterday, which, if they were honest, they would call the Monroe Standing In Lines Fest. Ten thousand people crowded the city square of Monroe, so there were lines for everything. There were even lines to get in lines. I’m not kidding. To buy cheese curds, or… Read.

  The library finally notified me the other day that disk two of the second season of Sherlock was waiting for me to pick it up, which we did on our way home after work yesterday.

  Seems like I am just not going to be awake today. Funky weird sleep last night, kept waking up, would lay awake for at least one gong of the clock in the front room, then fall into dreamless sleep only to wake up again. The common factor seemed to be a bubble of gas big… Read.
