First, the Gray’s Anatomy obession continues, with 5 more episodes down the hatch this evening when I could have been doing a dozen other things. Well, not all of it was bad. There were some funny parts. I finished The Demon-Haunted World on the train this morning, and I will have more to say about…
It’s all Denisse’s fault. Friday night, at dinner, she asked if I watched the show, Gray’s Anatomy, and I carefully explained that I didn’t watch the show because I didn’t have time. In fact, I explained that, aside from baseball, there are only three shows on TV that I watch. For some reason, people don’t…
I attended the my last Orioles game of the season today. The game was against the Twins, and naturally, I was rooting for the Twins in hope that the Yankees won’t have to play them in the divisional series. The Twins ended up winning the game. AJ went to the game with me and it…
It was approximately 16 years ago today that I first met Dan and Shannon and Rich and Tricia, when I moved into the D1-East hall of the Aberdeen-Inverness dorm at U. C. Riverside. If I was a newborn on the day that we all met, I would be about to get my drivers license today!…
Blowing bubbles while getting your hair cut is, apparently, a bad idea. Tiny clips of hair linger in the air, carried by all sort of turbulance taking place within the barbershop, and seem particularly attracted to the surface area presented by a bubble. By the time I “popped” the bubble and had the gum back…
I’m off to get a haircut. I just gave Zeke his monthly flea treatment and I hate doing that because he hates me for the rest of the day. (He’s off hiding under the bed in the guest room now.) He simply doesn’t seem to buy my argument that “it’s for your own good.” “Oh…
I met AJ and Denisse for dinner last night and we had a nice meal at Ruby Tuesday’s. As it turns out, Karen was meeting her mom there for dinner last night, so AJ and Denisse got to meet her as well. By the time dinner was over, I was pretty tired. AJ and Denisse…
So I’m sitting here, innocently reading, when suddenly, I had a kind of daydream about when I was a kid and we’d play baseball or whiffle ball in nearby fields. We never had enough people to field 9 players on each time. Often the teams were 2 or 3 players each. But, inventive as kids…
So sitting here, waiting with not much to do but read and blog, I find myself surrounded by furniture. Several offices in my vicinity are having their carpets replaced tonight. All of the furniture has been removed from the offices and squeezed into the surrounded common areas. I caught onto this earlier and was smart…
I just booked my Acela tickets to NYC. I’ll be there the long weekend of October 6 – 9.
