The Professor has kept all his writings since high school. I, on the other hand, burnt my oldest stuff in a fit of pique shortly after high school, and then destroyed the rest of what I had shortly after college. I’d published a little bit when I was young, but had a moment of revelation…
No, Alaina, it wasn’t that bad. I had a lumpectemy. The lesion was abnormal, but pre-cancerous. I just have to be really careful in the future, since these things can recur. The scar is big enough that I have to be a little careful about tank-tops and sleeveless shirts, but if that’s the worst I…
Meet my cat, The Clueless Wonder. Hard to believe he was a rescue kitty from the streets of West Philthy. I got him as a companion for my mother, and he boomeranged back to me shortly before her death last year.
Damn. I just had one of those stupid misheard lyrics moments and now feel like a total jerk. Richard Thompson does a song that’s on his new “Action Packed” anthology, which I got a few weeks back. It was originally from “Mock Tudor”, a cd I never got around to purchasing. I love this song….
Don’t mistake desperation for “courage”. (wry grin) I’m not sure what it says about a person when they form better relationships using electrons than they do using traditional means of communication. Sometimes it is far easier to reach out to a stranger than to a proven friend, though. I don’t know where things stand with…
What the heck is it with me and having the dishes washed anyhow? OK, last night I get home from work, and the dishes aren’t cleaned. Again. So I ask myself: “Is this really worth getting bent out of shape about? Do you really want to go down in the annals of history as the…
The Professor and I have taken to playing Trivial Pursuit, Genus III, in the evenings. An ignominious defeat we suffered against another couple over the Memorial Day weekend brought the TP bug to the surface again. We’ve played three times in the past week. I trounced him in one game, he trounced me in another,…
I got an interesting note yesterday from the virtual/real-life friend who spotted my diary over here. He believed I had started a new diary over here and wanted to know if I’d let him read it. As some of you may recall, his discovery of my diary over here on DD was what prompted me…
It’s more like who I am simultaneously. I have a seond diary here at DD that I keep for a group of people who met in cyberspace and have become friends. We post to each other on a message board that the Professor created. It’s nice in that it is a very ecclectic, international community….
