What to wear today, brown, tan, beige or taupe… So I’m hanging up shirts from the wash, starting to make a mental list of all the things I need to pack for upcoming trips: first to Kansas City, then to Europe. In between, I need to make pitstops in Columbus for work. This harried schedule…

Meredith Baxter-Birney burning I’m trying to get my shit in one sock for some upcoming travel. My mind keeps wandering as I try to figure stuff out. This mental lollygagging is not helping the simple tasks of laundry, garbage collection or dinner preparation. I decided to burn something. The fake log designed to clean the…

Nothing I can say, a total eclipse of the … bad 80’s song now stuck in my head Dogs are barking down the street as the dark umbral shadow of the earth creeps across the surface of the moon. There are no prospects for romance this evening, though i did get wood. A fire sounded…

Check out the odometer, I was on my way I went back to the dentist yesterday and got a couple permanent crowns put over some back tooths. Not being allowed to eat or drink for one hour following, makes everything sound delicious. If I ever joined a protest, chain me to a tree. I’d be…

Remove the vice from my head I woke up after a poor nights rest, feverish, sandpaper throat. I wrote an email and backed out of driving up to Columbus. Whatever this is, should not be contained in cubicles or small offices. I’ve spent most the day holding my sinuses. Sat in a steaming bath for…

Big n Tall The new grocery/megastore (Meijer), also has clothing. I wandered all the aisles seeing what they had that I didn’t need, and I came across a display of flannel shirts with a Big and Tall sign. A little yeehaw inside and three Extra Large Tall shirts went in the cart. If you looked…

Clip clip… Aside from all the excitement one can pack into a day, I decided it was time to clip my nails. Wasn’t nearly as exciting as the macro-visuals of www.arseiam.com.

So this guy is checkin me out. Larry ran my Visa through. I left Tire Discounters with a lighter checking account and some peace of mind. I couldn’t take it anymore. Driving across the country “toe out” caused some major wear on the inside tread of my tires. Had I rotated, I could likely have…

Searching for Service So there I was in Best Buy, helping Art pick out his first computer. We found a Compaq on sale, went with the CRT monitor to save some bucks and jumped through all the hoops with the salesman about service contracts (no thanks) and free net service (argh, the options)… As I…

Killing time at the dealership So I am 14 K miles over my scheduled service. In fact, I missed one entirely. Got the fuel hog in today and will have my cupholder back (along with lots of other under the hood stuff) FIXED in mere hours. While waiting for the drop off of a courtesy…
