What’s Up

Stars new look

Here’s the (very dramatic) reveal of the Stars new logo and jersey. Trust me, really — the jerseys are just bitchin’ in person. The silver is metallic, and it looks really good! Oh! And they’re retiring Mike Modano’s number. Big surprise. (If you want to watch him cry, be at the game, next March 8th.) […]

It's a big night for Dallas Stars fans

It’s a big night for Dallas Stars fans

Tonight’s the night that the Dallas Stars reveal their new logo and uniform. What a relief! I’m part of their Season Ticket Holder Council. (And really, I can’t tell you how cool it is that we have our own tab on the ‘Team’ pull-down menu.) As part of the Council, I got to see the […]

Which browser is worst?

Which browser is worst?

Quick question: What browser do you use? Which one do you think is worst? Yeah, me too. I used Firefox for years, but it got slower and slower and slooower and sloooooowwwer and…you get the idea…whenever it had to deal with any Google or Google-owned pages (like YouTube). So I switched, reluctantly, to Chrome. Chrome […]

Where are you?

Rich and I are having trouble keeping track of each other today. We both have home offices, so we should pretty much know where the other one is most of the time. But I left this morning to run errands (trying to clear my calendar so I could spend the rest of the day at […]

I ought to be on the horns of a dilemma

I ought to be on the horns of a dilemma

Should I be working? Meh. Maybe. I’m caught up with everything I needed to get done today. Tomorrow won’t be any great picnic, but I am, in fact and strictly speaking, caught up for today. Am I going to sit and read for pleasure? A light-and-breezy novel, not something that’s going to improve my mind?Why, […]

Not quite stream of consciousness…well, yeah, really, it is.

Not quite stream of consciousness…well, yeah, really, it is.

Sometimes writing is easy, and all you have to do is get out of the way and keep typing. Today is not like that. I just spent about four hours composing an entry for my business blog, and it was very much like slogging through molasses. In winter. Carrying luggage. It’s an okay entry and all, […]

What I'm doing today

What I’m doing today

Rich is out of town for a few days, off to Hamvention in Dayton. That’s Mecca for ham radio operators, or at least it used to be. I understand it’s getting to be a mere shadow of its former self. Anyway, he’s had a great time there in the past, but this time he went […]

Stream of Consciousness II

Stream of Consciousness II

The NHL playoffs have started. I’m disappointed with Anaheim. I so want Detroit to be eliminated in this first round. Don’t care that the Stars now have a Detroit guy as GM, or perhaps kind of because of it. On the other hand, now that the Stars will no longer be part of the Pacific […]

Animal Control

No, not our pets, the wild ones outside. There was an obviously sick little skunk in wandering around our yard this morning. He was outside the pool yard fence, but as I shooed the dogs inside he slipped through the wrought iron fence into the yard. I urged the dogs inside (“RUUUUN!), then looked back […]

Stream of Consciousness

I remembered the Mastercard bill just in time. Since going paperless on a lot of our bills, I have trouble remembering them, even though I put reminders on my calendar. Of course, having a paper bill come in the mail doesn’t always help. I finally put both the gas and electric bills on autopay, after […]
