• Back. *Again*.

  15 July 2008 ( #Family&Friends, #motorcycle, #Musical, #Photos, #Pics and Babbling, #video )

  Wow. When I disappear from the blog, I really disappear, eh? I just have to plead "busy". When I haven't been working or slaving over essay questions, I've been... well.... digging holes in my yard. Photos will follow. In the meantime, I've finally finished...

• Dusting off the Bobcat sweatshirt

  30 April 2008 ( #'Sconsin stuff, #Background, #LCHS things, #music, #photo, #Pics and Babbling )

  I have been presented with a set of tickets. A little celebration, I guess you'd say. Even though this is my "school band"; even though they've performed in the area dozens of times, even though one of the members lives only about thirty miles away from...

• Grumble, grumble redux

  27 April 2008 ( #Golf, #Pics and Babbling, #politics, #School, #term paper )

  The paper is done and turned in. Since I think it's only *slightly* lousy instead of just completely awful, this probably means I'll only get a C on it. 85 credits down, 35 to go.. Next up-- after "Spring Break" :-D SS411 Comparative Political Systems...

  Clinton to End Bid and Endorse Obama - NYTimes.com As expected, Clinton is about to call it quits. I suppose if she waits until the weekend, nobody will notice? Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton will endorse Senator Barack Obama on Saturday, bringing a close...

  26 January 2008 ( #photo, #Photography, #Pics and Babbling, #School )

  You just don't realize yet how lucky you truly are, do you? Well, sit right down and I'll tell you. :-D I just re-upped for another several years of domain registration. So YOU people can rest assured that you are in for at least another two years of...

  Daily Kos: Mainstream by kos Fri Jul 20, 2007 at 11:46:56 AM PDT YearlyKos will be addressed this year by just about the entire Democratic Party leadership -- Howard Dean, Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid, Chuck Schumer, and Dick Durbin. It will feature a candidate...

• 2/21/79

  21 February 2007 ( #'Sconsin stuff, #Background, #Pics and Babbling, #School )

  I was digging around in an old datebook when I came across the significance of the above date. It was the day that a scared green barely-18-year-old college-dropout-'cause-she-ran-out-of-money walked into a mill with a 99% male to female ratio to begin...

• A giggle after taxes

  09 February 2006 ( #change, #essay, #Pics and Babbling, #wisconsin )

  One of the books off my Amazon wishlist arrived today, so I took a five from the horrors of Turbotax to thumb through it for a bit. The book is I'm a Stranger here myself by Bill Bryson. It's a series of essays written by a travel writer who lived in...

• California People

  29 January 2009 ( #California, #children, #Pics and Babbling, #School )

  Sent to me by my former roommate and favorite Cali-chick, who is about to brave the icy temperatures, howling winds, and blowing snow of southern and northern Wisconsin. I told her "NO flipflops, sweet little strappy sandals, cute little tank tops or...

• I am such a goody-goody

  05 May 2008 ( #America, #Bobcats, #music, #Pics and Babbling )

  Yep. That's me. I follow the rules. I only drive 58 in the 55 zone. I (more or less) always pay my bills. On time, even. I turn in my schoolwork on time even if it means a day off is *completely* devoted to writing a paper. I don't call in sick to work...

  07 April 2008 ( #'Sconsin stuff, #humor, #Pics and Babbling, #turkeys )

  Geez. Maybe it's a GOOD thing that Mr. Tom from the last post was too busy showing off for the ladies to pay any attention to me! Postal workers attacked by wild turkeys - Yahoo News MADISON, Wis. - Rather than rain or snow, or even dogs, postal workers...

• Turkey Day!!

  04 April 2008 ( #'Sconsin stuff, #Photos, #Pics and Babbling, #turkeys )

  No, not *that* kind of Turkey Day. Up until 5 or 6 years ago, I had never seen a wild turkey. I won't ever forget the first "herd" I saw, about 30 in a single flock alongside Hwy. 29 a half-dozen years ago. I recall spotting large dark "things" in the...

  Okay, I think I'm done farting around with the templates again. Minor upgrades week!! Made some revisions to the "insides" of this site--purely out of my "can't leave well enough alone" inclinations. Things are up and running again, thankfully, with a...
