Welcome to my “why am I still up” moment. It’s been a long day, though not because I’ve done anything. I don’t know if it was anemia, Leukemia, or insomnia, but today just staying awake was exhausting.
Which leads me to the present. Why am I still up? Have you ever felt too tired to go lie down? Isn’t that the epitome of laziness? Everyone else in the house has…
High definition television is pretty cool. I may get over it in the days or weeks to come, once the novelty has worn off; but I find myself watching – and enjoying – sporting events that I wouldn’t have otherwise watched – let alone enjoyed. (There’s a long sentence for you!) For example, two weeks ago the idea of watching a NY Rangers game sans Lightning would have…
I’ve run across all kinds of folks on my virtual travels recently, one of which suggested a piece of software I hadn’t heard about. That’s really the beauty of the internet – there’s all kinds of stuff out there you hadn’t heard about.

I was sitting by the tube, watching David’s rematch with Goliath, when I saw a commercial. I know… it’s shocking – there’s more. A middle-aged jogging/running enthusiast was explaining his pain, and how he treated it with Aleve. Apparently, after about the fifth mile his knees start to hurt.
After engaging my brain for about two seconds, I came up with a little thing…
Perhaps this is a little sexist, but I usually associate clouds of personal scent (of the optional variety) with women. Imagine my concern when I walked into a public restroom and my nose was assaulted by the smell of burning money (speaking metaphorically). The air was thick with the smell of the vanity wing of a department store. It was so strong someone could have filled a potty with eau de…
This afternoon I was having a pleasant conversation about the movies, when I became helplessly mute over the name of a famous actor. I was fishing futilely for anything resembling a name, tossing out hints with reckless abandon.
