Stolen, and morphed a little, from a comment posted to e-musings‘ request for jokes: Did you hear about the cowboy to whom everyone kept saying, “Get along little dogie.”? He bought a Dachshund. Today was a TurboTax day in the neighborhood. I was up at the crack of dawn, since I went to bed at … Read more
I started my day off doing two loads of laundry, and reorganizing my dresser drawers with the hope of it being an incentive for me to actually put my clothes in them. I now have one drawer for all of my workout t-shirts and sweat shorts, which should help. For not being at all into … Read more

I met Kevin (av8rdude) at the gym at 9:45, where he greeted me in the parking lot with, “I almost called and canceled this morning.” “Why’s that?” I asked. “I’ve had a meeting reschedule and need to be back for 11:00 now, so there’s only time for working out or a bagel, but not both.” … Read more
