When Robert came on AIM this morning, I told him that my ham was missing. “Oh, it’ll turn up, I’m sure,” he said. “Until then, it’s MIA ham.” I thought this was both hysterical and amazing. Hysterical just because it’s very, very punny, which I love, and amazing because two gay guys actually know who … Read more
Weight Milestone: My heart is no longer lugging around the amount of weight equivalent to my 16-pound bowling ball. Tonight I will walk around the house holding it for a few minutes — just to appreciate the relief. I didn’t feel at all well today. I left work at 1:30, and I slept from 3:30 … Read more
On a whim, I sent this email to the publisher of NutriSystem’s online newsletter at 11:17: Hi Beth, I don’t know if you can use this, but I was in a silly mood with a friend yesterday, and she took my picture with her cell phone camera of me surrounded by my new shipment of … Read more
I paid my homeowner’s insurance on my credit card today: 424 frequent flyer points. Gotta love that. Instead of my regular $500 move to savings for the month, I moved $1500. Gotta love that even more. I attended a seminar at work today about Managing Organizational Change. There were two salient points I took away … Read more
I got a haircut today. Though “Bridgette” didn’t cut my hair, she made me laugh with the story she was telling to the guy whose hair she was cutting. She cut my hair the last time, and I really liked her. At that time, she said something to the effect of, “Yes, chile, I tried … Read more

According to the UPS tracking website, my month’s worth of food weighs 29 pounds, is currently in Philadelphia, and is scheduled to be delivered on Tuesday. This cracks me up. The Nutrisystem website has a feature called … Read more
Below are two things that make me think about our earlier class discussions regarding “community in blogs.” My friends list can be seen by clicking here, and scrolling down. This is the Six Degrees of Separation program I mentioned in class: This is the intent of the program: This is a Six Degrees of Separation … Read more
I had the scrambled eggs with cheese entree this morning. I used my dairy allotment to add 1 oz. of PepperJack cheese to it. I had that, with a little ketchup on it, and a piece of toast. I followed that with some cantaloupe. I lucked out with another perfectly ripe cantaloupe. Yum. I spent … Read more
I am going to expose myself (what else is new?) by making my Movie Identity Website, as well as its critique by Dr. Swarts, available via this blog. This way, we can learn from each other’s work, as well as our own. I encourage others to do the same. Hopefully, Dr. Swarts will feel comfortable … Read more
Fortuitously, Scot P. pinged me today asking me if I was sure that I wanted to rent his place for Carnival in P-Town, because he has someone else asking about it. I took the opportunity to back out of my commitment. Not being there the week before the Alaskan cruise will just make things incredibly … Read more
