I love to comb through various community events schedules and calendars and pick out activities that I might like to participate in, but on the day of it, I often go, “Ehh” and stay home. Tonight’s activity is an event way, way down south in Jefferson City (40 miles, to be exacto) and it is [...]

I Did So Put a Bird On It

This struck home, yes it did. I didn’t need to be in Portland, either. Birds can be put on anything, anywhere!

The Day Before Thanksgiving
November 24th, 2010 · No Comments · Entertainment, Holidays
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 [...]

Watch This
November 2nd, 2010 · No Comments · Entertainment
I am such a sucker for this kind of thing. And by ‘this kind of thing’, I mean current music that derives from pop music styles of the 1960s, especially when it throws in current lyrical references. This is being played on the radio as “Forget You”, but the original title is obviously superior.

How I Came To This Momentous Decision
September 23rd, 2010 · No Comments · Entertainment, In Summary
Tracy has commented more than once in the past couple of years how much I have changed since I met her (lo these many years ago). Another nail in the coffin that was my 20s? I cancelled my TV service last week. I have been a big-time TV watcher for a long time. I don’t [...]

Tap
September 2nd, 2010 · 2 Comments · Entertainment, Rants/Raves
There’s not much that I love as much as great pairs tap dancing. I saw this next one on TCM last February- it’s Christopher Walken on Gene Kelly: The scene with Gene Kelly and Donald O’Connor is here. It won’t embed. Go watch it, though. It’s great.

My Everest is 17 Days in a Row at the Gym
May 18th, 2010 · No Comments · Entertainment, Pointless Updates
I’m still kind of testing the waters with regard to all of the posts that are now appearing here automatically from Twitter and Facebook and Flickr. They rely on plugins, not all of which work very well. I am not the greatest of hackers, so it takes me time to figure out why things aren’t [...]

Tracing That Line
May 11th, 2010 · No Comments · Entertainment, Travel, What I Did Last Weekend
This weather is why I haven’t switched out my winter clothes for my summer clothes. In August, in the middle of the hottest part of summer, when I think back and wonder why I was still wearing sweaters in mid-May, I am kind of astonished at the idea. It’s just hard to fathom, as it [...]

In Which I Tell You How Exhausted I Am
May 4th, 2010 · 1 Comment · Entertainment, What I Did Last Weekend
I am pleased to announce that I did, in fact, manage to ride my bike to work this morning. It is Bike, Walk, and Wheel Week in Columbia, and I am taking part like a good little citizen. I have been thinking about doing this for several weeks, but I did not actually get around [...]

Avoiding One to See The Other
April 27th, 2010 · No Comments · Entertainment, Gardening
There I was, blogging not long ago about how nice the yard looked. It’s amazing how quickly that changes, isn’t it? I mean, I can clean the house and if I leave it alone for a week or two, it will stay clean, dust notwithstanding. (I am pretty sure this is the case, though I [...]
