My brother called this morning to tell me that my Dad’s surgery went good – uh – WTH? I didn’t even know he was having surgery. :: blank stare ::
He’s had this thing in his hands. Apparently it’s like an extra tendon that grows a little like ivy does. It starts [...]

Update on the “barking dogs”

Posted in If I ran the zoo ..., Prozac and the Padded Cell, tagged , , , , , , , on March 24, 2008 | 2 Comments »

So I didn’t try the meat/sleeping pill combo suggested in the last comment thread, but we did decide to try something different … maybe a lil kinder and gentler .

LACMA … on Easter?

My day with “customer service”

Today for some reason my modem decided to stop communicating with internet.  If there could have been a worse day for this to happen, I can’t think of it.  So for a couple of hours, I unplugged and plugged in cables, turned things on and off to no avail.  I bite the bullet and decide [...]

This is my first official post and I have to admit to a little post anxiety. This is like that old Queen song:
Mm ba ba de Um bum ba de Um bu bu bum da de Pressure pushing down on me . . .
