I’m divorced. It was a big thing to me when I first started my diary. I’d only just gotten the final divorce papers just before I started writing at DD. The divorce was amicable, as these things go, but drawn out. Possibly it was drawn out because it was so amicable. Neither one of us…

It’s always been my intention to write something for my journal every day. It doesn’t matter what it’s about, so long as it’s written. There have been periods of time when I’ve been able to accomplish that. There have been other periods of time when I fail to update on weekends, or because of illness,…

See Yetzirah’s entry of today, You look old to me for part one. AARP invited me to join today. The invitation came in the mail, along with assorted flyers for sales on yogurt and peanut butter and an announcement to a convention that I will not be attending. I’m only ~. I don’t think you…

I’m walking the five p.m. to six p.m. shift for the American Cancer Society’s Relay for Life this Saturday. It’s something I’ve done for five years now. I’d have done it last year, except that I ended up having surgery two weeks before the relay. This year my heart just isn’t in it though. I’ve…

I got an email yesterday afternoon announcing that Dar Williams was giving a concert in the area on December 4th (Saturday) at 8:00. I immediately bought two tickets by email. I guess I should have told the Socialist about that, too.

The Big Boss has evidently been waging guerilla warfare with Mrs. Big Boss. She was adamant: No more cats! But he asked me for print-outs of pictures of Dekyi, and he’s apparently been leaving them at strategic points around the house. Apparently she relented last night. I pick Dek up from quarantine on Sunday, keep…

I was getting ready to leave the office tonight when the phone rang. It was somebody who works with my state’s APHIS (Animal and Plant Health Inspection Services) branch of the USDA. This person had run a long term study at our facility, and we’d gotten to be friends while she was here. It seems…
