~Friday~ July's Challenge Entry | All Challenge Entries | September's Challenge Entry 2012 is two-thirds of the way through, and another month is behind me in my goal to walk at least 30 minutes each day of this year. I’ve managed to walk 221 of the 244 days so far this year, missing 23 … Read more
~Monday~ It was “movie night” at Jen’s tonight, as we’re “between” seasons of both Downton Abbey and Glee. While we were approaching the end of Downton Abbey, we decided to watch… …during our break, since it was written by the same writer of Downton, Julian Fellowes. Overall, I enjoyed this movie, although I was surprised … Read more
~Saturday~ I have long had the FlexCare Rechargeable Sonic Toothbrush (3 modes, 2 brush heads, 1 soft travel case), which includes a “UV clean” brush head sanitizer chamber. Here’s what mine looks like: And here’s what it looks like when the sanitizer chamber is open: Along the top of the chamber, there are two buttons—one … Read more
~Friday~ This morning I was shaving and my razor sort of tugged at one of my whiskers, and I thought, “I wonder if it’s time to change my blade.” So naturally (Don’t you?) I went straight to my Google calendar and searched on “razor” to see when I last changed the blade: Darn! One more … Read more
~Tuesday~ There are a few things annoying me these days, so I thought I’d get them out in a blog entry to see if that’ll dissipate them any. They say that people click on articles with a low number of items—like 5—in their title, which is presumably how you got here. Here are the 5 … Read more
~Sunday~ Today I saw about 40 minutes each of The Hunger Games and Dark Shadows movies. Even though I didn’t see either one in its entirety, I wanted to do a public posting about them so as to pick them up in my all-the-movies-I’ve-ever-seen (well since I started keeping track here in 2003) list. I … Read more
~Saturday~ I ‘ve mentioned before here that I have the uncanny ability to wake myself up if I’m having a nightmare, which is an ability I cherish. For instance, if I’m dreaming that someone is coming toward me to cut off my tail with a carver’s knife, I can say in the dream, “This is … Read more
~Thursday~ Well, school’s back, and that means back on the Wolfline bus, which is totally free to me (and the public for that matter) as my means for getting to work. I have not yet renewed my “GoPass,” which is what has allowed university employees to also ride the city buses free in the past, … Read more
~Tuesday~ It’s been a while since I’ve made a public posting, so here’s a little “potpourri” one. I’m here to tell you that the use of the word always in the message on that bag is hyperbole. Witness this weekend, when I grabbed one such bag to use as a “mutt mitt” while walking Frances … Read more
~Sunday! This weekend while sitting for Frances and Vincent at Bob’s, I tried, for the second time, to watch his DVD copy of Barbra Streisand’s The Owl and the Pussycat, without luck. For the second time in as many tries, it got to a certain (albeit, different each time) place and just froze up. I … Read more
