A brief addendum.

mille : a thousand. millies milies : a thousand times. My thousandth entry, and the best I can do is wonder why one thousand isn’t called “one million” since “mille” is Latin for “a thousand”. I tried to look up the etymology of million on Google to find out why it’s called that, but all…
I had an interesting talk with The Socialist last night, to do with the forum he administers. First, a brief history: There once was a message board run by a quirky little charlatan dedicated to Star Wars. It turned into an active board, visited by a nice international cross-section of Star Wars fans eagerly anticipating…
The alarm clock woke me up this morning for the second day in a row. That never happens. I’m always awake before the alarm clock. I don’t suppose it’s a sign of impending Apocalypse, though. Just exhaustion. My back hurts. Other regions hurt. I’m tired. I’m whiney. I’d rather not have to sit with myself…
I added the Professor to my AAA membership last night in anticipation of our trip to Oregon on August. The car rental is far less expensive if we’re both on AAA, and I’ll feel better if he’s on it anyhow. The idea was originally to get him his own Triple A membership, but it was…
The Ex showed up last night to pick up the desk. He arrived promptly at 8:30, as the storm clouds rapidly closed in on our little town. He had an open pick-up truck he’d borrowed to transport the desk, and was anxious to get it loaded up so he could move it before the skies…
Part 1: Short Stories I’ve been going through my “library” of science fiction books, looking to reread old friends that I haven’t visited in too long a time. I’ve read Holdstock’s Mythago Wood, which was a more difficult and intricate read than I remembered. I’ve worked my way through LeGuin’s Earthsea books, and have just…
That looks like such nice fluffy snow.
We were supposed to get a half inch of wet nasty snow, but it never materialized. I don’t want to see what happens to these crazy drivers around here with any kind of cold precip to deal with.
I think Shay and I were reading your diary at the same time. I’m surprised he ever got through it, with me shouting, "KITTY!" and "PRETTY CHRISTMAS DECORATIONS!" throughout.
Thanks for the photo bonanza! Yeehaw!
It is too bad kitties don’t know how to enjoy snow like dogs do!

Your sister’s place looks quite elegant. White anything would never make it in my house.

Hey, is that THE ring?
"The nurses were laughing among themselves that two of the other patients, who were "big, brawny men" and lived only ten minutes away from the hospital, had cancelled."
I wonder if proximity makes them value it less?

Beautiful photos! you are a real trooper heading out into the snow like that. It isn’t so bad. It’s mostly the other drivers that scare me.
