I have just TKO’d my digestive tract for him. He wanted ham and lentil pilaf for dinner. Easy stuff. I got the pilaf going (straight out of a box, boys and girls – no fuss, no muss), got the ham slices that I had cut from the Christmas ham my company gave me (yes, there are still companies out there that give away Christmas hams) out of the freezer and put them in the frying pan on the lowest heat setting. I then took advantage of the fact that The Prof is furiously creating a test for his class tonight to take care of email and some net business in private.

The timer went off. I checked, and the pilaf was perfect. Two of the slices of ham were perfect. Two were carbonized.

Guess who’s eating carbonized ham? I choked one down (with LOTS of mustard). I’m thinking of giving the other to the Warrior Princess, who is regarding my plate with far more relish than I am.

Thank heavens there’s more lentil pilaf.

The rescue work must continue now, while there is a chance of recovering survivors. But, after there can be no hope, we need…

I consider myself immune to most forms of advertisement. Of course I “like” certain commercials better than others (herd cats or make frogs croak the name of a beer and you’ll get a chortle or two out of me), but I honestly can’t remember the last time I went out and did something because a…

They simply announced that they were going to play a single from some group or another’s soon to be released album. I really wasn’t listening that closely. I can’ explain it. Perhaps thirty seconds into the song the breath was stolen from my chest and I was desperately trying to remember who the hell they…
