I have a story that needs telling tonight. Horses and I have a long and somewhat complicated history. I wanted one desperately when I was a kid. I got thrown from a horse when I was 23 and hurt my back badly enough that I was bedridden for three months. I mistrusted horses for the…
OK, I’m still talking to the cats, but they aren’t talking back yet, so I figure I’m sane enough. I’ve done four more DVD’s since I last updated: “The Ice Storm” (absolutely excellent and why did I wait so long to rent this?), “Seabiscuit” (OK, but way too long), “Pirates of the Caribbean” (also way…
My company has a one-page newsletter that comes out weekly. It specializes in announcements of company sponsored events, factoid filler, and reminders of company policy. It also features an employee each week, giving a picture and short bio of the person. The employees featured are a good cross section of the company, which has always…
I’m behind. Last night was spent at the Elder Sister’s – she had called me the day before to let me know she’d invited old friends of our parents for an impromptu dinner and invited me to come. The timing was awful, since I needed to go home and pack for tonight, but I haven’t…

My CD with “The Cat Carol” arrived in the mail yesterday. I meant to bring it into work with me today, but in my haste to get out the door this morning I forgot both that and my employee ID badge. I miss both these items. A new CD would have been an extraordinary help…
Ooh! Ooh! Ooh! Just got email – USA channel is having a Monk marathon on New Year’s day! Monk on USA Network I’ll miss the morning episodes, but that still leaves the evening after I get home from Scranton. This absolutely rocks!
Christmas Eve I didn’t get out of work until after 6:00. Other years the management let us out early, but this year we hung in there until the bitter end of the day. I felt sorry for the clean-up shift that came on after we were done; I imagine most of them were not out…
Got a hit on my site meter from Lucasfilms last night, about 11:00 my time. I was able to confirm using the IP#, but the referring source and pages viewed were blocked. I’ll admit to wondering why somebody working at a prestigious outfit like that would still be using Netscape instead of the superior Internet…
