And it’s January again
I see that I forgot to add the rest of the Advil calendar. My bad. Maybe next year. Gah. Here is proof that I am not the only doting grandma in the family – this is my sister And her lovely grandbaby Lili
Auspicious date
I wanted to take a picture on my iPhone of 12:12 on 12-12-12 and I got it out at 12:08 and then promptly forgot about it when something shiny went by. Feh. So, because I didn’t get to write it anywhere else today, 12-12-12 Next time will be in 2112, which seems even more … Continue reading
Re-cap
I still can’t get over how much faster time goes by these days. Draw a breath in, K is zombie walking, blow it out, she’s running faster than I can. Granted, that’s not saying much, but we’re talking about time here, not physical prowess. I’ve been meaning to put a Gone Fishin’ sign on this … Continue reading
Autumn is in the air
And that makes me think of APPLES! I haven’t hit Apple Hill yet, maybe next weekend if it isn’t still 95 frickin degrees. Exfoliate with Homemade Apple Bath Soap Packed with flavor and antioxidants, apples are a traditional harbinger of autumn in many parts of the country. Of course, they can be used for … Continue reading
Nora Ephron, RIP
Above all, be the heroine of your life, not the victim. My mother wanted us to understand that the tragedies of your life one day have the potential to be the comic stories the next. Summer bachelors, like summer breezes, are never as cool as they pretend to be. When you realize you want to … Continue reading
The weekly drama
HAH! no drama to speak of this week. From last week, my son booted the baby mama out, which I really hate, but will get used to, I suppose. I didn’t have to live with her. I worry that I won’t see Katie as much and she’ll be subjected to crazy people, but maybe not. … Continue reading

His very pleasing verse is presented in white typography on a black background, screaming out ideas about beauty, consumerism and hypocrisy, among other things. The elegant words, and their sparse presentation, have been … Continue reading
Weakly rap up
Oh, sweet jeebus, another bizarre week. Goob, the German Shepherd (of the Paint Your Own Dog Fame), had terrible diarrhea again and I decided to take him to the vet. Ended up taking him to emergency surgery (by one of the teaching docs at UCD!) and having a gigantic tumor cut off his stomach (inside). … Continue reading
Weekly Wrap up
Today was all about chickens. I went to a Community Supported Agriculture farm (CSA) and spent two hours learning about backyard chicken husbandry. It was quite fun and entertaining. The teacher was from Grass Valley which is a wonderful hippie/back to the earth sort of cool town where he builds backyard chicken coops. He brought … Continue reading
Quandary*
Had to go into work today; worked with a nice young man from a consulting company. Smart. Clean. Stinky sinus infection breath. [Why do so many men have sinus infections?] He has virtual server labs set up at his house for the three major types of virtual services – VMWare, HyperVisor, and .. something … Continue reading
