Can You See Me?

Thursday, March 31st, 2005

If so, you are seeing my new server. Yay!

Hail Damage

Monday, March 28th, 2005

Well, as it turns out, I do have hail damage. The trunk of my car looks like a golf ball. I hadn’t quite pulled it in far enough when I parked that evening. By the way, what I was parking under was my brand new carport, so things could have …

Mobile Mattress

Saturday, March 26th, 2005

So, I’m sitting here in my comfy chair in my living. Surfing the web and looking out my front window when I see a mattress go walking down the street. Well, the mattress wasn’t walking on its own, but it sure looked that way from my angle.

Hail Storm

Friday, March 25th, 2005

We had a powerful hail storm tonight. First, it was noisy! Perhaps the new metal roof on my car port helped, but it was darn noisy. It sounded it the hail was coming right into the house. Second, there was a lot - my yard ended up looking very, very …

Day of Goo and Meetings

Wednesday, March 23rd, 2005

I started the day off running late and in a daze and I’m not sure I ever fully recovered. First, there was some annoying news at work. This was followed by a very long meeting about our site redesign. At least it was across town so we go to drive …

Media Matters

This CNN poll graphic isn’t misleading at all, is it?

U2 in the Hall of Fame

Tuesday, March 22nd, 2005

To me, “Hall of Fame” means, “past their prime (or popularity or whatever), but we honor them as the geniuses they were.” So, I had mixed feelings when I heard that U2 were being inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. However, the induction speech given …

Cat vs. Elliptical: Round One

Saturday, March 19th, 2005

Well, I guess it had to happen eventually. I’m on my elliptical machine just going along while watching The Mole* on DVD and I hear a howl and Mishka runs out of the room. He must have gotten run over by one of the runners, but I didn’t feel it. …

Expanding Pants

Wednesday, March 16th, 2005

I bought some pants online and when they arrived this last weekend I was very excited that they fit. It’s hard to find pants that fit me right (unless they have elastic waists – and I dislike those). Usually if they are large enough for the thighs and butt, they …

Aching Calves

Tuesday, March 15th, 2005

My calves ache. No, more than that. They hardly move. I got the elliptical trainer to help me feel better – knowing I needed to exercise to accomplish that. I knew I’d feel worse at first, but this? I hobble now. I had to step off a curb earlier today …
