Joel asked me to marry him. I told him, “yes, absolutely I will marry you.”
I’m not a real big poster of super-personal stuff on my site, usually, but I really do think this merits a bit of fanfare. Because I’m crazy-stupid happy and giddy and generally given to squeeing right now.
We’d been talking about marriage-stuff, [...]

Well, my computer has upped and died. It’s not a big shock nor surprise - it had been acting shaky and shady for a while, and it hadn’t been built by a professional initially anyhow. So, the ol’ beast finally went toes-up. Because I had an inkling this day would be coming [...]

Have you ever set a coin on edge on a table and flicked it with your finger to make it spin like a top? If so, then you know how it looks when it loses momentum and falls over and kind of rotate/vibrates to a stop.
Imagine you are in a 9:00 a.m. meeting, [...]

I will admit that I am a regular viewer of my own website’s statistics, ESPECIALLY the search engine terms. Most of them are either pervalicious or statistically improbably. In the past week, for instance, we have “cat kicking head,” “i like swirly in toilet sensual” and “why is the left sie (sic) of [...]

I’m headed out of town again tomorrow. I’m one of four representatives from my department holding down the fort at a big civic government convention in New Orleans.
I’ll confess to you that I am pretty darn stinkin’ nervous right now, because I have never been to a trade show, let alone worked at one, and [...]

And his endearing goofiness is one of those many reasons.
I was talking to my folks earlier today and my dad commented that he’s just about ready for Audrey and Matt’s wedding, he’s lacking only a tie. He admitted that mentioned his tie deficit to one of their neighbor ladies, a kind-hearted craftswoman who was only [...]

When I was at the drugstore buying the digital rectal thermometer I’ve got to use on the cat, I ran into one of the Rollerderby girls I met on Sunday. More specifically, the very kind Rollerderby girl who lent me her spare pair of skates.
Within about 10 minutes of conversation, we mutually learned that we [...]

First off, a warning This video is extremely not safe for work. So don’t click that link if you are at work! The video is from Technical Virgin, but they no longer have their videos up on their site, which is a pity, as they were all quite good. They were well [...]

An enormous blue basset hound about the size of a 1974 Oldsmobile Regency 88 soared high above the flooded landscape using the motion of his vast, floppy ears to bank and steer his lazy glide. He let out a gurgling bay which I’d come to recognize meant that he was about to spiral downward [...]
