Exhausting Monday I'm visiting family again, which means waking up at dark-thirty with three small children and a puppy. I love them dearly, but it takes me a minute to remember that first thing in the morning. Today was for s... Continued
I Must Apologize That was rather an extended absence, but yesterday afternoon was my workers comp appeal hearing (read: telephone conference between me and the insurance company with a workers comp mediator) and I lost. So I d... Continued
Now That Was Funny! Mom just handed me a warranty card she'd dug out of the trash and wanted to know how come I wasn't filling it out and mailing it in. Before I even looked at it, I told her I'd probably done it online. Then sh... Continued

Day Two of Sun and Warmth! Two days in a row it's been above freezing AND sunny! I'm not entirely sure how to act, but I'll take the gift from Mother Nature, with heartfelt thanks! And here we are at another weekend already, so hopeful... Continued
Superbowl Sunday Don't ask me why I dislike Indiana so much, I just do. I'm sure it's a perfectly lovely place, and what I've seen of Indianapolis while driving through it on I-65 it seems like a decent enough city. But...I'v... Continued
