The book is done, at least the rough draft is, and on Harley’s birthday, too! I have pictures for you, of Harley’s birthday, not the book, but you’ll have to wait until tomorrow for those. I actually finished at 12:02 this morning, so Harley’s birthday is technically over, but who…
My HTML class went pretty well today. I never quite got in the zone, but it wasn’t bad. If you’ve never taught a class or given a lecture or spoken in public you may not know the zone, but it’s great when it happens. My friend-who-must-not-be-named said it must be…
I’m teaching an HTML class at work, starting tomorrow. I have 17 coworkers who have signed up. That means there are at least 17 people who are willing to give up their lunch hours to listen to me talk. That’s kind of humbling. Of course, I’m a great teacher, and…
I bought a 2006 Nissan XTerra just before Christmas. It had everything I wanted except for the color, which is dark gray. Yuck. I looked into getting it painted, but that ran into thousands of dollars. Instead I looked for, and found, every imaginable auto accessory featuring Tinker Bell. I…

My dad and I talked about my book tonight and I think I know what I need to do to finish it. I have to go back a few pages and rewrite what I already have. That will solve the “I’ve painted them into a corner, now what I do”…
Today was a dog day, especially for Harley. We went outside this morning and played with all three dogs. Maverick chased his flying squirrel frisbee while Dad and I played with the new parachute toy I bought at Franklin’s yesterday. (Franklin’s is a restaurant/store near work that has some of…
Meeting today… Me: That’s the name of my gay typing teacher from high school. BS: They taught gay typing in your high school? ::rim shot:: There followed a riff on what a gay typing class would be like… Meeting adjourned P.S. Brian Sweeney wants full credit for the above…. Sorry…
Back when I was in high schoo/college and they first started talking about VCRs I remember thinking how amazing it would be to watch Star Wars in my own home any time I wanted to. Now I’m finding out how much of a dinosaur that makes me, not just because…
