What are people thinking? From a sentiment posted to an obituary today: I’m so sorry to hear of you’r loss. Huh? Whose loss would that be exactly? What missing letter(s) is the apostrophe representing? I got a good night’s sleep, though I did wake up once or twice absolutely soaked and stuck to my sheets … Read more
My phone rang at 7:37 this morning. US Airways, ready to deliver my luggage. Yay. I think. It’s awfully early. With the call that he was on his way, I was reminded of the woman at baggage claim last night who filled out the claim for my bag. Two things that I thought were odd: (1) … Read more
I got up at 8:00, had my final breakfast on the deck, and then SSSed before checking out of the Aerie House at 9:00. I wheeled my bag down to MacMillan Wharf, and was in line for the 10:00 ferry at 9:15. Shortly after that, the woman working there walked up and down the line … Read more
Once again, I was up before my alarm went off, which was set for 9:00.

We each had their killer, killer French Toast. I had an egg over easy on the side with mine, and Robert had a side order of bacon—which … Read more
Sometimes this thing is just an evil coma machine! I clawed my way out of its clutches this morning, and combatted it with its more humane evil—caffeine. I found this blog entry about the importance of “gay neighborhoods” interesting, especially in light of a recent conversation I had with my friend, Joe, about how nice … Read more
On the way to Panera Bread at Crossroad this morning, I stopped at Best Buy long enough to see their prices on the iPod Touch—$399 for the 16G model; that’s too high.
