misfire
I woke up out of a sound sleep, rolled over to see what time it was, got out of bed because it was five o’clock, the time I normally feed the cats, thinking that I’ll just put a dollop of food in their dishes, then go back to bed. I thought it was Saturday. I… Read.

I forgot to wear socks to work today. The up side is, nobody noticed. I bike to work in shorts and a t-shirt. Wearing shoes seems a little much in an outfit like that, so I wear sandals, the kind with the little rubber strap that goes between my toes. Couldn’t wear socks with those… Read.

frozen
I literally froze my ass off at work yesterday. I feel I can say this and get away with it because, like my father and his father before him, my middle-aged ass is so non-existent as to be missing, so you can’t prove I didn’t freeze my ass off. But I really was freezing yesterday.… Read.

over the hill
It was casual Friday and Cindy, one of my coworkers, came dressed in a baggy t-shirt with day-glo peace symbols printed all over it. When I ran into her at the copy machine I asked her, “Were you ever on Laugh-In?” “What’s that?” she asked. “Rowan and Martin’s Laugh-In? You’ve never seen it?” “No, what… 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.

Alchemy
Becky and John joined us for our weekly night-out at Alchemy. My Darling B works with Becky at the DMV and about a month ago invited her and her husband, John, to join us for dinner at Smokey’s the last time we went there. Ever since then we’ve been trying to get together again. Our… Read.

mea culpa
Sorry, I got nothing. It’s been a long week already and I’ve got a lot to do still, and it’s all pretty boring stuff, nothing I’d want to blog about. And cats, but I’m sort of burned out on blogging about the cats. Read.

good on ya
For years, My Darling B has been She Who Trains Newbies in the DMV office she works in, but that was unofficial. She was good at it, so the powers that be assigned her the task more often than not. When the official job came open recently, she was a shoe-in for it. Even so,… Read.
