Icepocalypse or Snowmageddon
Yes, we had rain. It converged with a major cold front, starting temperatures falling, so the rain turned to sleet, then eventually to snow. Highs are in the 20s, overnight lows in the single digits, with wind chills below zero. For two days now; one—maybe two—more to go. The DFW Metroplex is actually equipped to […]
Happy anniversary to me!
Five years ago, I was having a mastectomy. Actually, the surgery was at 2:15pm, so five years ago right this minute I was probably finishing up a pre-op appointment with the plastic surgeon (Hi, Dr. Heistein!). I believe my instructions were no food or water after midnight, so I was very thirsty and pretty tense. […]
Hello? Hello?
I have a bunch of really great topics that I plan to blog about, but only have time for a quick note right now. [Liar, liar, pants on fire, nose as long as a telephone pole.*] Yeah, well, anyway. I don’t think anybody besides me ever reads this blog, because there are virtually never any […]
Books
Yes, I know how long it’s been. I’ve spent a good portion of the day entering books into LibraryThing. It’s a good, free to cheap way to keep your personal library organized. I have trouble keeping track sometimes, particularly with business books (not the ones I’ve read, but the ones in the queue) and knitting […]
Connections
I’m reaching the deadline on a big project today, but I thought I’d jot this down before I forget it. An old friend, Lisa Bailey, did something really nice for me last week. (Really, really nice. I mean, WAY above and beyond). Besides feeling incredibly, eternally grateful, just thinking about her, emailing and talking to […]
We’re living for Tuesday afternoon
Reports from viewers of local CBS Channel 11 about today: Cold front coming in Tuesday afternoon. Supposedly after that we’ll be back around our normal temps for this time of year, mid-90s. Come on, Tuesday!!
Projects
Finishing up the first-half-of-the-month group of articles today. Then working around the house, my favorite! Yes, really! Well, okay, maybe not always my favorite, but I do look forward to some of the projects. Well, not laundry, which is on the list for today, or cleaning the kitchen, ditto. But some things, like cleaning out […]
Why does it take so long?
Could someone tell me, please, why it takes me ten times as long to do things as it should? Is it that I’m getting older? Is it that my attention is perpetually fractured and I can’t focus? Is it that I’m caught in some kind of freakin’ fissure in the fabric of spacetime? Or is […]
Report
This is a report of all today’s activities. For those of you who were with me in North Carolina (or who have heard me speak of this before), you know that sometimes Rich tends to act like I’ve demanded a full report on what he’s been doing and what has planned. He recites a list […]
Hockey and the Daddle!
First, Mike Modano & Marty Turco. Good on ’em both for finding jobs! Rich and I are big Turco fans, so we’re happy he’ll be playing for Chicago. I think he’s as good as he ever was, and just wasn’t getting something here in Dallas — support from defense, coaching [my guess], something — that […]
