I have a blog entry for every day of my life for over nine years now (since 01/12/2004), although toward the end of 2011, I started making my “daily routine entries” private. I’m still publishing them, they’re just not publicly viewable. Now I make sporadic public entries, usually in the form of vignettes or scenes, … Read more
~Saturday~ February’s Challenge Entry | All Challenge Entries | April’s Challenge Entry It was a very challenging month for me, as I had knee surgery on Thursday, March 15. I was in a lot of pain the first week of the month, so I mostly just did my minimum 30-minute walks, as you can … Read more
~Thursday~ Today was part two of my three-part participation in a Sour Cream Taste Test. If you didn’t read part one, or don’t remember it, you can read about that experience here.

At least they didn’t draw anything dirty, which is where I thought it was going when the first thing that Bill drew was that nose. In other news, I had another weight … Read more
~Wednesday~ I got my 30-minute walk in today by walking from my office on Hillsborough Street down to the Cameron Village Library, where I returned The Art of Racing in the Rain, which I finished last night and was due today.

~Tuesday~ Today I’m thankful that I have a job in which I can adjust my lunch hour to accommodate the Cameron Village branch of the US Post Office, which has decided to take its lunch hour when I normally would take mine.

~Sunday~ Today was the big day. It’s three days after surgery and I finally get to “undress” my leg, and more importantly take a shower. I invited my friend Joe over for a photo shoot and little did he know what he was getting into. He was a good sport, though, and I appreciate that. … Read more
