Everything is Ducky.
I glumly related to The Socialist this evening that I realized that the concert date was on a night he was scheduled to teach. He paused and thought a moment and then said, “No it’s not. We have Spring Break that week.”

Playing catch-up
I got an unexpected phone call at work yesterday from a girl who was in vet school with me. She was in my town on business and wondered if I’d be free for her to stop by when her meeting was over. I didn’t give her a chance to reconsider. She is one of the…
Twenty-fourth Anniversary
Memories from March 21, 1997 are simultaneously vivid and surrealistic. Time has perhaps fuzzed the edges a bit, but the impact of what I hesitate to call a near death experience has not lessened. It has colored nearly all my significant choices over the the last near-quarter century in both good and not so good…
Not my responsibility
I was tired last night. OK, sick and tired, but sometimes that amounts to the same thing. I got home last night (at about 6:00) to find that Kitten from Hell had found a bag full of little soy sauce packets left over from the Sunday’s take-out Chinese. She’d stolen it off the table, carried…
A little rain must fall
The third straight day of rain … I suppose it’s needed since this has been one of our driest springs on record, but the grey days are just playing into my mood. The Professor is teaching a night class for the first half of the summer. It’s Tuesdays and Thursdays, until 10:30. I’ve been chiding…
Can’t Sleep
I swore off tests and quizzes months ago. They were taking over my diary at one point, and that wasn’t what I wanted my diary to be about. Sleep deprivation does strange things to a person though. With nothing better to do at 5:00 in the morning, I decided to take that Emode Inkblot Test…
OMG! I just got off the phone with …
Temple Grandin!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We’re talking a severe case of hero worship here. I nearly froze up; didn’t know what to say. I needed to schedule her to come to our company. We want to get her input on ways to improve how we handle the animals that come through here. She has single-handedly changed the way…
You gave me a good laugh. The kitty and the replacement phenomenon. Me too, me too.
I USED, to be around a dunder head who was forever going on about how tired she was due to all the volunteer time she put in. (She didn’t feel appreciated either, boo hoo hoo) One hour of selling raffle tickets at the door and 6 hours of her griping about how hard she worked.
You -will- find someone to go with you, through the sheer force of my desire. Don’t stop asking.
It’s a realy shame that The Mouth doesn’t have A Brain. >:(
I have no idea who you’re talking about but I would go, just to go….too bad I’m so far away!

Maybe you were dreaming you were awake?
I don’t suppose you could go to see Dar with one of your sisters? Or would that be too much torture?

your workmate sounds entirely obnoxious
it wouldn’t surprise me if one of the rules of the universe states that in every work place it is compulsory to have such a person as the Mouth. we have a few of those people here, one in particular is notoriously difficult to work with. this person makes tidal waves if they do not get their own way all of the time
as for your liver transplant, not something necessarily easy to face but you sound like you are taking it all in stride. that’s really commendable, good for you
thanks for the comments. it makes one wonder how self-involved 2 people can be to have a wednesday wedding hundreds of miles from home!
take care 🙂

I’d go to see DW with you to brighten up an already bright event. I’m far from everybody, now! Well, I’m close to Tex and that makes up for the rest ;o)
– How is it that I can be insomniac and wide-awake at 6:00 a.m. only to be jolted out of a deep sleep at 6:30 a.m. by my alarm clock?
A: You relax when you know the nights almost over, and fall asleep.
– Why is the Kitten’s favorite place to sleep while I’m at the computer directly behind the wheels of my chair?
A: Because that’s where she finally gets exhausted after doing all that stuff behind your back
– How do the disc jockeys know how to time things so that the first thing I hear when I turn on the radio is the last ten seconds of my favorite song?
A: It’s taught in 400 level DJ courses at their secret DJ university
– Why is Cattitude’s affection for any given food item in direct proportion to the likelihood it will make her throw up?
A: It’s part of their charm
– Is it a requirement that I will only be able to figure out where I put some pricey item after I’ve gone out and purchased a replacement for it?
A: It’s not a requirement, but it is a "suggestion"
– What cosmic karma ensures that my Mr. Coffee at work will die the final death five seconds after the onset of my most intense caffeine craving in months?
A: The warranty just expired
Very awesome that you will both be able to go!

LOL at Shay’s answers.
Glad you and the Socialist get to enjoy the concert together after all. Spring break for us is this week.
Shame, shame, shame on your coworker. Hope you don’t catch her cold. Let me see her vocal cords, I only need one more intubation. 😉
You know, it is not possible at all to buy any Dar Williams CD’s here. I asked at a music shop and they wanted about a extra $30.00 ($15USA) on top of the overinflated price, to have one sent out!!
Its pathetic, cos the words of her songs and the little I have heard on the net is awesome.
Dar Williams RULES.
You’ll love her show! Even if you do have to go alone!!
