I had one of my very rare cravings for candy yesterday so I went out and bought some Skittles. While eating them, I felt my jaw crack on the left side at the base of the joint. This morning, when I woke up, that part of my jaw is really sore! It’s all the way…
Gradually, the signal that I get in the TV in the living room has degraded. Here is what happens: some of the channels (not all) will lose the signal (“searching for satellite”). The TV in the bedroom, receives the same channel just fine. If I unplug the co-axial cable and plug it back in, the…
I’ve already been more productive today than I was all day yesterday. I got the kitchen cleaned up, and all the trash collected. I got my desk cleared off and got my book database updated with recent purchases that were sitting in a pile on my desk. I’ve also got a couple of loads of…
I did almost nothing today. No chores, no errands. The kitchen table is a mess. My desk could be cleaned up. I’ve got a long list of things to do and a good step toward getting them done would be to just get them out on paper. Instead, I did very little. I spent most…

When I got to work this morning, security wasn’t letting people into the mall. I had my badge on and they let me through so I could get into the office building, but I couldn’t figure out why they weren’t letting anyone else in. Looking out my window now, I understand. My window looking into…
Just a few miscellaneous items before I head off to bed. I’m up late because I got sucked into watching the Barbara Walters special “30 mistakes in 30 years”. The second part is on tomorrow night, but I’m TiVoing it so I don’t have to stay up for it. I did catch Smallville, which was…
