Blog Personal
None of my business. This is my personal blog, where I talk about family, friends, cats, laughing, and crying.

As long as you understand the distinction, you are welcome to read and contribute to the discussion.

I don’t know what’s up with me lately. My nights are filled with fitful sleep with strange nightmares that make me thrash and scream and sweat. When not in REM sleep, I emit an uncharacteristic snore so loud it wakes and … »
As a human for sale on the open market I am apparently worth $3.6 million U.S., at least according to the quirky HumanForSale.com survey. My resale value has risen in the last 9 months. In October 2008 I was valued at … »
USING ONLY ONE WORD! It’s not as easy as you might think! Copy and change the answers to suit you and pass it on. It’s really hard to use only one-word answers. Be sure to tag the person who sent … »

We spent the evening at the St. Vincent’s emergency room. Everything’s fine (now). Nothing serious.
The adventure began at 3:30 Pacific, and we got home not too long before 11 o’clock. We watched a couple of DVRed episodes of “Dexter,” and … »
According to an odd little online survey I am, as a human on the open market, apparently worth $2,931,798. That isn’t bad equity in myself. Hmm… I wonder if I can borrow against that…

We saw Phantom of the Opera opening night (Wednesday) at the Keller Auditorium. Box 8, centerstage, fantastic seats. I’ve been dying to see Phantom on stage since the mid-80s. When it came to Portland I jumped on it. Wonderful performance! Everything … »
[sigh] I really wanted to go to Crue Fest this past Saturday night–Motley Crue, 6A.M., Buckcherry, other bands–but couldn’t. We had reservations at Newport Beach for the weekend (it was a great time) and celebrated (a belated) Lugnasadh on the … »
This, I would think, would work just as well for co-workers prone to peering over the cubicle wall or checking out one’s computer over one’s shoulder.
Have you ever sat on a plane, next to an irritating traveler who keeps talking

After every flight, pilots fill out a form called a gripe sheet, which conveys to the mechanics problems encountered with the aircraft during the flight that need repair or correction. The mechanics read and correct the problem, and then respond in … »
I began this blog to share my thoughts and feelings; it’s a place for me to vent. That was years ago, before the “blog-olution†and the idea that a blog is a mandatory component of every good marketing campaign. This site … »
This past Friday, Strawberry Blonde and I surprised Mojo by checking her out of school to go see Ghost Rider on opening day. Mojo, whose grades had been suffering the first part of the year, worked hard and brought D’s and … »
