Want to see something gross, try this

I’ve never thought to try this before, but a little while ago, I picked up my office keyboard, turned it upside down, and shook it over my desk for about a minute. The resulting mess was not pretty.

Some good news, for a change

I’ve grown to hate network TV news broadcasts and hate news reported in newspapers almost equally as much. It all focuses on depressing topics. We could do better. But today, finally, some good news!

Metro delays

Just yesterday, I was telling someone how there are rarely delays on the metro lines on which I travel (yellow and green). So it should have come as no surprise that there were delays on the yellow line this morning. Twenty minute delays. I got to Mt. Vernon Square at the usual time, and then [...]

Oriole blues

I went to the Orioles game with Kelly this afternoon and we watched the Orioles drop their 6th game in a row. What was worse, the Yankees lost and the Red Sox won. But it was still a fun game, and there was a pleasant breeze coming in from the outfield that helped cool things [...]

Sunday morning

I meant to be up at 7:30 but I didn’t get up until 8:30, thanks to a case of insomnia last night that kept me from falling asleep until sometime after 3 AM. Nevertheless, I got up and started right in on some chores, vacuuming, sweeping, running some laundry, cleaning the bathroom, usual stuff for [...]

I finished…

Hollywood memoirs. I don’t indulge in this pleasure that often because I don’t want to spoil it. But in the past, I’ve [...]

Opposites attract

I finally go around to putting together a 2-disc playlist that I’ve been meaning to put together for some time now. I call it “Opposites Attract” and you can see the tracks for the two discs listed below. Disc 1: Dark Disc 2: Light 1. Boys (The Shirelles) 1. Girls (Death in Vegas) 2. Dead [...]

Saturday morning

Wow, I slept in later than usual this morning, finally getting up at 9:30. I had a headache before going to bed last night so I took a couple of Tylenol PM’s and I think that might be the culprit. Nevertheless, I slept well, even though it was very hot and humid last night (not [...]
