This thing that happened today
So this evening I took it upon myself to finish the project I started yesterday. Yesterday evening I got a wild hair to clean the minivan, Moby Titanic. It had been a while and the filth level was teetering on the brink of acceptable levels of sloth. It’s one thing to say, “Oh dear, sorry…

Family Camp Week
So every year for the past four years, and conceivably for all future years, we have attended Family Camp at our church’s camp out in the sticks. I say for all future years because there are people attending this camp who have been doing so nearly all their lives, and they are older than I…

Man for a day
So this morning was Monday. It turned out to be Monday all day long. First thing I decided to take the car in for a quick emissions check because the tags are expired. One of the things I meant to do before we left for vacation, but you know how it goes. Kinda didn’t think…

With Bells On

We are also cheap budget-conscious. This is the reply card: As you can see, Mother will be in attendance, allegedly with bells on.…

How To Turn 45
So yesterday was my birthday, or as a friend put it, the “anniversary of my continued homeostasis upon this planet.” We couldn’t let this go uncelebrated, so The Lovely Rhonda threw some invitations out and a few people dropped by. I’m deeply uncomfortable allowing people to see how we normally live, i.e. like filth-beasts wallowing…

Pratchett Redux
So today I had a small amount of time to kill between meetings. I hit the local Goodwill to engage in my favorite hobby, searching for Pratchetts. And I found one! In hardback! Yay! That is all.
