My new Marpac Dualspeed Sound Machine 980a is really doing the trick. Deep sleeps; coma-like sleeps. I don’t think I mentioned (though I guess I could go back and check) that I used my favorite comparison website, mysimon.com, to see where online I could get this item for the best price. Love that site. Before going … Read more
I’m not convinced that “Lucy” wanted to dress up for Halloween. Lucy the Smashed Pumpkin. From wral.com’s Viewer Submitted Halloween Pictures. I forgot to mention a major development in my professional life yesterday! I had a very brief instant message conversation with my manager in which she broached the subject of my return to work … Read more
I uploaded the final few pictures that were still in my camera from my trip. The address of the Sydney Westin, at which we stayed, was 1 Martin Place. Here’s a few pictures of me in the square about the hotel, and a picture of Robert that I love, love, love. And here I am … Read more
I slept in again this morning. Yay. My exterminator was supposed to come some time today between 1:00 and 5:00. I was going to call the company to see if they could have him come more toward the 1:00 end than the 5:00 end, but didn’t. He showed up at 1:15. Yay. I ran to … Read more
I have been published again on onesentence.org! A friend sent me a link to this story about the Top 11 Geek T-Shirts. My favorite is the very last one: which actually lights up when you’re in the range of a wireless network! Love it, love it, love it. Another snap, snap, snap from Prudie: Hi … Read more

I have such wonderful people in my life. Card synopsis and affirmation: Front: Policeman writing out a ticket. Inside: “Impersonating a young person… … Read more
I slept in this morning in honor of the official start of my vacation. Glorious. I wrote a short article about onesentence.org for the STC newsletter and sent it to John as a potential filler (i.e., if he needs one) article for the October edition, or it can be used in the January edition instead—if … Read more
I’m not quite sure if the tone of this posting of mine meshes with the tone that the professor envisioned the postings would have when she decided to use an electronic discussion board for our class, but making the things that I do fun is an immutable part of my being. And that applies to … Read more
Who knew? An article in praise of my profession. I spent ten hours on Rhetoric of Science and Technology homework “accommodating” the article Facilitating Social Networking in Inner-City Neighborhoods for the 2008 International Real Estate Research Symposium in Malaysia. It’s still not done. We got to dancing at close to 8:30 to find only one … Read more
Today was non-stop for me. 9:00–11:30: Breakfast, did two loads of laundry, and showered. 11:30–1:30: Worked in my IBM office. 1:30–1:50: Drove from IBM to the Food Lion on Avent Ferry, where I caught the bus to school. There was an incredible amount of traffic on Dan Allen, and what normally takes about 2-3 minutes … Read more
