  • Zeke’s surgery update

    27 Jul 2007 » 1 min read

    I took Zeke to the vet this morning before leaving for New York. When I called to find out how things went, I was told that the surgery went well, and Zeke had woken up and was doing just fine. I was very relieved. He’ll be at the vet for a few more days, recovering,…

    People who are sick of my rants on obscure and meaningless things like the battle between reason and irrationality can just skip this entire post. (Although I will point out that I haven’t ranted about this topic in a while.)

    I was up at 8 AM this morning and headed up to IHOP for a quick breakfast. From there, I headed to Saturn to have my car services (it was time for it’s 108,000 mile service, but since I’m driving up to Albany tomorrow, I wanted to make sure everything was in good working order…

  • Zeke’s upcoming surgery

    25 Jul 2007 » 1 min read

    While Zeke was boarded when I was in Europe, he developed what the vet thought was a urinary infection. They said it was probably caused by stress and they put him on antibiotics, which seemed to help. When I took him home Monday evening, I noticed that he kept going into his litter box, coming…

  • I’m back home!

    24 Jul 2007 » 1 min read about Travel

    I’m not going to post much more than this today as it has been a long day, but I am back home, after being out of the country for 21 days. They tree people came and cleaned up my backyard while I was gone, as I was hoping. And I have a sidewalk in front…

    My flight home is at noon local time today and I wanted to get some more photos uploaded before I headed off, so here are several batches more.

    I love how it starts to get light here at 4:24 AM–and how it doesn’t start to get dark until 9:40 PM.

  • Windsor, Stonehenge and Bath

    21 Jul 2007 » 7 min read

    Today I took the first of two full-day tours of areas outside of London. The tour today was a tour of Windsor castle, the primary residence of the Queen; Stonehenge, the oldest relic in the U.K., and the city of Bath and the Roman baths therewithin. If this entry is less than coherent, keep in…

  • Choppy video?

    20 Jul 2007 » 1 min read

    The other evening, I wanted to watch a movie. It so happens that I had a few movies on my iBook that I purchased from the iTunes store: Rocky and Rocky II. I settled down to watch Rocky (which I have seen several times before) and, much to my dismay, the video was choppy. No…
