Praise be to Daniel, who sweetly provided a good chuckle to my afternoon with this link to Einstein, the genius bird. Watch it — it’s wonderful.
I thought the sky was falling
So this morning, as I do most mornings, I stumbled out of bed and beelined it to my office, where I do my lengthy early-morning round of various Internet things … check my personal and TWU e-mail, check the TWU Web site, peruse the latest on Blackboard, make my blog rounds (hey Gary, gimme something …
sometimes, I impress myself.
So, I have to brag on myself a bit here because, well dammit, it is MY blog. 🙂 Tonight I left work around 5:30 and suffered from unusually extreme option paralysis vis-a-vis my three-times-daily dilemma of what to eat. Normally I’d stop and grab something, or come home and change clothes so I could go …
LOL
LOL I’m sorry, I just think that’s hilarious. My friend AnnaLisa had something similar happen once … she was having a particularly rough go of things and so I sent her flowers.

it used to be my playground …
Holy crap! I was reading the Baxter Bulletin this morning and saw this story about a shooting at Old Hickory Park — MY PARK!! Man hospitalized after shooting A 29-year-old Mountain Home man was shot twice Saturday in Hickory Park while on visitation rights with his three children. Benjamin Tucker Staples, who was shot in …
Five Times August
This band played at the Late Show Comedy Showcase thingy a couple weeks back and was awesome! I’d really like to go see them at Firewater sometime…!
good thing I’m an optimist.
Here’s the feedback I just submitted to Posados Web site (verbatim): I’ve been to this Posados (and others) many times, and I have to say that tonight’s experience was BY FAR THE WORST I’ve ever had, nearly at any restaurant ever… it was really THAT bad. I arrived and it took a full five minutes …
