It’s time for some good news on this blog. Enough of this pessimism! You’re bringin’ me down, GregsHead! :-) But anyway… it’s been an interesting week of goodness. It was highlighted last night with a wonderful evening with my wife. She arranged for a babysitter and we went out for a couple burgers, and later…
Personal
Running Out
Lately I have been running several things dry. First it was my own body, falling asleep during a BILLS GAME almost instantly, with no recollection of the “nodding off” part. Just complete, immediate shut down. Then today I had a couple more incidents… First, on returning from our friends house, the van started acting like…
Facebook Friends
One more thing… Just today I have heard from three former classmates via my Facebook page! Two of them are from elementary school (in Caracas Venezuela) and then another friend from high school wrote today. How cool is that?? Especially the elementary school friends from 24 years ago!! If you have not checked out facebook……
The Week The Was(n’t?)
It’s just after midnight, and I am sitting on my in-laws’ porch in Clarence, NY, sipping a mug of Chamomile tea… thinking back on a crazy week of fun. But one of the more memorable things about the week was that it felt like there were a few days that just didn’t happen at all!…
Not Like Us
I was thinking about life this morning, in the shower… as I usually do. Sometimes it’s the mundane “what do I have to do today” kind of stuff, other times it’s “meaning of life” kinda stuff. I suppose it was the latter today. We’re still in a pretty good pinch financially. We have some temporary…
Evidence
Here’s a little bit of evidence that I have been unable to get to my blog very much this past week or so… Yesterday, August 26th, went by without me noticing even once that it was the fourth anniversary of my blog’s existence! :-) I had been looking ahead to that date all month, planning…
Alone
I’m alone today. Grandma & Grandpa took Jen & the kids to the NY State Fair today! I have some new projects I am working on, and a Bills show to record tonight, so I stayed here. It’s very weird, having no one around. Especially when there are always five other people here. :-) Well,…
Great Words!
I have noticed lately that I use a lot of words that are not really words. Including quite often on this blog! I noticed that a commercial I saw also used one of these psuedo english words. They are words formed from the incorrect pronunciation of two or more words. I figured it might be…
Routine
It’s pretty funny how routine can be a good thing. I usually think (and talk about) how routine = a rut. But today, when my routine (most would not call it a routine…) was modified a bit, I was having trouble getting back on track :-) So, routine is not always a bad thing. Just…
Cool Lunar Eclipse
I was listening to the Science@NASA podcast last night and heard about an upcoming sky event your folks in the western US might be interested in knowing about. Actually, I guess it will be visible from most everywhere except Europe and Africa. But the Western US will have a fairly good view of the total…
