Random Wonder of the Day

Sunday, August 26th, 2007
     I keep checking in with Amazon.com every month or so, always with the same result.  Cheers season 9 hasn’t been released yet.  How much longer must I wait!?

Life’s Been Good

Monday, March 19th, 2007
     This evening was one of those rare ones.  It was a long but decently productive day at a day of work after a long week of a lot of work.  I was a little tired, but not too tired.  It was nearly 9 PM and dark.  The traffic lights on the base [...]

Blur

Sunday, August 27th, 2006
