Every blog post from now on will begin with some groveling and whining about how long it’s been since I last wrote anything. That should be entertaining, shouldn’t it? Or can we just take it for granted? The reason I’m not writing is that I’ve Met Someone, and that Someone is taking up a big [...]

The Day Before Thanksgiving
November 24th, 2010 · No Comments · Holidays, Music
The day before Thanksgiving is always a quiet one in the office, and I love it. Quiet holiday workdays tend to go quickly, and that is O.K. by me. Even more so because they tend to be unofficial half-days before a four day official holiday weekend. I have a lot of plans for my four [...]

This fall has involved a lot of blog neglect on my part, but I put up a post at the retro blog today (see post below) and will finally eventually blog about the end of my 365 project at the photo blog later this week. Really, truly, maybe! I’m just super busy these days, and [...]

Lines Written Before Lunch
February 8th, 2010 · No Comments · Endless Blathering, Holidays, What I Did Last Weekend
Today I am: Trying desperately to talk myself out of going to Main Squeeze for lunch. I brought a sad little burrito that does not stand up to the tofu salad sandwich (today’s Main Squeeze special). Trying to talk myself into walking around the corner to the mailbox because I have a stack of mail [...]

Happy All The Holidays
January 6th, 2010 · 1 Comment · Holidays, In Summary, What I Did Last Weekend
I’m sitting here looking at one of my new calendars for 2010, and realizing that I haven’t blogged about my holiday adventures at all! So hello, and welcome to 2010! I am going to go with “twenty-ten”, and try to forget the clumsy “two thousand” thing we had going on for so many years there. [...]

T-Minus and Counting

Every year, I listen to the John Denver and the Muppets album, and I wonder who thought it up, and what kind of drugs they were on, and yet it is my favorite Christmas album, ever. I’ve had it since about 1983, too. Yes, you are listening to the Muppets sing Silent Night in German. [...]

So Here It Is, Merry Christmas
December 22nd, 2009 · No Comments · Endless Blathering, Holidays, Movies
Everybody’s having fun! I am having fun, ingesting far too many calories so far. Wonderful Christmas, with my coworker bringing cake balls (I LOVE CAKE BALLS!) at least twice in the past two weeks, and other coworkers bringing cookies and treats, and tins of popcorn, and I have some treats in my bag for everyone [...]

The holidays are making a lot of people lazy. I’ve noticed a major decrease in the number of blog postings in my RSS feeder in the past few days. I will try not to be one of those lazy bloggers. So here’s a post! This week has been uncharacteristically busy for me. I have been [...]

Hanukkah Weekend
December 14th, 2009 · No Comments · Endless Blathering, Holidays, Photography
It’s been a long time since I left all my Christmas shopping until after Thanksgiving, and I kind of like the holiday thing of gathering gifts together. I might not like it if some of these things don’t arrive in time, but right now it seems jolly. Had a great Hanukkah weekend. Tracy came into [...]

Marlon Brando Is Christmas-Shopping For Me This Year
December 2nd, 2009 · No Comments · Holidays, Movies, Music
I highly recommend the Christmas Blues genre station on Pandora, if you’re looking for some new Christmas music. Lovely and lacking in sentimental schmaltz. I’m not a fan of schmaltz, as a general rule. I bought a new Christmas album, as I seem to do every year, but it hasn’t arrived despite the fact that [...]
