Grumpy McGrumperson

It has been one of those days.
You know the ones… there’s nothing you can put your finger on, but something sets you off. Something makes you want to take an uzi to the world and eat all the twinkies yourself. Oh, yes, my friends. It was just like that.
Honestly, the day could have been saved [...]

Nerdage

Because I am a huge nerd:

I seriously ask myself if I need another spare external hard drive every single time I get an email about a closeout deal.
I have enough flash drives to store all my data files, and I carry one of them in my pocket.

Grammar for the New Millenium

Good grief, I’m out on a limb tonight. This could quite possibly be the most boring post I’ve ever written. I apologize in advance. I’ve been reading comments in various places, and it struck me that the rules of engagement have changed a bit. Bear with me, k?

Cornucopia

My cup runneth over with tidbits, it would seem, none of them worth a full story, but worth sticking with a toothpick. Here goes.

And Then There Were Six…

About 18 months ago, my neighbor’s cat came to me for respite. She had been ejected from his house because his daughter wouldn’t keep her litterbox clean, and she came to me in dire need of affection. Many of you know this if you’ve been around long. The neighbor didn’t bother with her medical care, [...]

A Drip in Time

I apparently have two items in the natural world that plague me. One keeps me from ever deciding to go on a cruise; the other keeps me from going barefoot. I bet you can guess them both. Go on, try.
