  • Help

    After, what, twenty-something years Gary and I are starting to work on one of our most fundamental problems: our expectations about help. This after yet another morning in which Gary woke me by screaming “Wake UP! It’s 6:45!” (pause) “6:50, sweetie!” (pause) “Sweetie! It’s 6:55! WAKE UP!” This screaming is unsolicited, it is unappreciated, and…

  • Cave

    On the way back from the BNL concert (where we saw a very professional performance, considering), we stopped at Marengo Cave in Indiana. Because the Voice in my head told me to. (Snort. I kill me.) Actually, we stopped because the roadside signs told us to. And it was there I found the greatest testament…

  • Concert in Detail with Bonus Dental Exam!

    We had a late start Saturday driving to Louisville for the concert. (We had to make a sudden visit to the vet for the dog’s bordatella shot before we could pop Mac into his luxury cabana). I enjoyed the five hour drive, but I found I noticed every dead patch of grass along the highway.…

  • Sisterhood of the Travelling Green Dress

    or, Green Dress math. From the photo above Subtract Gary to the power of ten years ago. Subtract me (Not the current value of me (200 lbs), but the previous me (or, the inflated value of me (220) divided by 2)) Carry the green dress. Take (last year’s Steven Page * 75%), giving you the present…

  • Hi, I’m a Dot Stalker

    This is what happens when you get hooked on Google Analytics.If you don’t know, Google Analytics tracks users to your website and reports how they got there, how long they stayed, and the like. The best part is the map feature. This, for example, is New Zealand: There is a city here, Wellington. There was…

  • First Lines of Unfinished Posts: Part 2

    Young lady, I did watch you as you applied my new and expensive Prescriptives foundation to my face, and I am not mentally impaired, so I am surprised that even over my protestations (continuing on to outright sneering) you stubbornly continued to write down your phone number on the receipt just in case I “have…

  • Deluge

    I noticed today as I drove home that the sky became just … wrong … over the river. If I had painted that sky, I would have corrected it. There were white glossy patches on top of back-lit dark blotches. “Creepy” I thought. “Maybe I can get home before it rains.” And, typical of me,…
