Assigning the Guilt

Those of you so inclined, send a prayer or a condolence card to the manager of my apartment complex. She just sat through fifteen minutes of me ranting about last night. It wasn’t her fault, it was beyond her control, she apologized beautifully and promised me reimbursement for my flowers, and I was still so…

M + 1

OK, I promise to knock off the “M ±” stuff after this entry. I suspect it comes from watching too much Babylon 5. Then again, I’m not sure it’s possible to watch too much Babylon 5. The Younger Sister called this morning to let me know she was now well into the coughing/sneezing/nose-blowing portion of…

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…

It won’t be…

M Minus 4

Shay41, I Love You!

I had gone to Canon’s site before, but when a search using the error message that ZoomBrowserEX gave me failed to turn anything up, I abandoned all hope. Tonight, fueled by your suggestion, I returned to their stupid site and looked through all the known problems connected with my camera’s software. I turned up a…
