I don’t mean to be so boring
Sorry for the long periods of dreary dullness, but the fuzzy parts of my mind that are conscious are pretty much absorbed with thoughts of inhalers and pills and cough syrups and nasal sprays, and their corresponding schedules. Seriously, I don’t know why what should have been a plain old cold has wiped me out […]
I’b sick
I woke up in the wee hours Sunday morning with a scratchy throat and cough. I couldn’t go back to sleep, and since then haven’t really done much more than doze off before my coughing wakes me up. (This situation is about to improve, however. I got a prescription for the Magic Elixir of Life, […]
Great googly moogly!
My friend Joe keeps saying that I need to go to work for the Dallas Stars. I keep telling him that they already have a lot of knowledgeable people doing a lot of different things, and I’m really not sure there’s really a place in the organization for me. I mean, there’s nothing I know more […]
Go, Suomi!
Cracked.com, hands down one of the best sites on the Interwebs, has another brilliant entry today,. I’m going to learn how to pronounce and spell each and every one of them, and begin using them immediately, but I’m especially pleased to report that the the word ranked Number One is Finnish. I have some modest, […]
TV is my life
Well, it apparently kind of is my life, in that we watch a lot of it. That’s kind of how Rich and I spend time together in the evenings, sitting in the living room, him usually casually browsing on his laptop and me knitting, watching TV at the same time. Yes, I know, it’s mindless […]
I love that Wandell guy, too, or, a happy note in a dismal game
Just about the only highlight worth mentioning from last night’s lackluster performance by the Dallas Stars (love you guys, but, really…) was the couple of times Los Angeles Kings goalie Jonathan Quick (yes, really, Quick, and Daryl Raugh proclaims it the best goalie name in the NHL) got startled by Dallas Stars #23, Tom Wandell. […]
Gratitude
I went to the oncologist today. I’m now on an annual appointment schedule, instead of semi-annual, and that feels like a very big deal to me. I think after five years I was officially considered cured (I’m at six-and-a-half now), but this is still a milestone, if only in my mind. When you go to […]
Really, the jokes alone will be worth it
Yu Darvish. Texas Rangers. $60 million. Sixty. million. dollars. If they have to make that up through our ticket purchases, at $9 a pop (we really only go on promotional half-price-ticket nights), it’s going to be a long, long haul. But, really, the jokes about his name—all the many, many little puns and word plays—will […]
I love that Mark Fistric! (Yeah, it’s a hockey post.)
Mike Heika, with the Dallas Morning News, blogged today: Mark Fistric will be a villain tonight. That’s just how they do it here in Nashville. The Predators like to call the town Smashville, Jordin Tootoo is one of the most popular players here, and the fans are generally very aggressive toward the opposition with chants and jeers. When […]
Hey, look! We got the candle up!
It’s in our front yard, secured to one of the larger pine trees (you might be able to just make out the trees in the background). It’s 25 feet tall, and people driving down the street tend to slow down. I didn’t do that great a job arranging the lights in the flame this year. […]
