There's been a spate of folks here and on my Facebook FL losing their pets recently; most were completely from out of left field. I hope this isn't an omen. I really really hope it isn't. Everyone, give your animal companions extra hugs and love. Their sharing their lives with you is a gift.
hahahaha You expect me to WHAT?
So this morning, about 11:30 AM, just as me & Brett were getting ready to head out for our usual Sunday brunch over at Scramblers, I got a call from my workplace -- oh my god, the call traffic was higher than they expected, and they needed me to get on the phones for overtime. … Continue reading hahahaha You expect me to WHAT?
Breaking metaphors & dumb arguments everywhere
Wow. The fundies on my FB FL are distinctly obnoxious & loud today. Broken metaphors, stupid arguments about the Bible and Marriage and how "Jesus was the only person to ever resurrect someone from the dead" -- the person doing that particular ranting is a cousin who got pregnant while in high school and who … Continue reading Breaking metaphors & dumb arguments everywhere

I keep thinking I've left … Continue reading Baking week
Puck
Puck was our first cat to choose US. 1994. Me & Brett had just gotten married. I'd also just started working for CompuServe; they offered a PC loan program, so their employees could get computers. We'd gone to a local computer store, found them closed, but saw a Jack's Aquarium next door. We'd been discussing getting … Continue reading Puck
Puck.
Our oldest boy Puck was put to sleep tonight. We had been getting concerned that he'd been losing weight; he was getting bony, but then he was 16. Monday, I'd noticed that he was curled up under one of our bookshelves -- a little unusual; he normally claims the bed because of the sunbeams. When … Continue reading Puck.

Jonathan Cain update
There's a pretty amazing and surprisingly touching update over at http://jonathancain.com/. Jonathan's constantly been the one in Journey that's surprised me with his depth -- though the news of Journey's album coming out in the spring AND Jon looking for a publisher for a memoir is definitely "squee!" material, too. (Come on, Jonathan, NaNoWriMo. You … Continue reading Jonathan Cain update
