Day 4,392: Tommenz

Day 4,392: Tommenz

Boy howdy I am tired. A familiar refrain, I know. It wasn’t a zero day today, but it was close. Went to bed so late last night getting up early to write wasn’t on the table, and then work was busy enough that it cut into the evening time, though to be honest I don’t...

Day 4,391: Old Lace

Day 4,391: Old Lace

You know…I think Arsenic and Old Lace might have had an outsized influence on my life. I saw it for the first time, I think, on stage at my high school, the very first semester of my freshman year. I distinctly remember falling out of my chair I was laughing so hard....

Day 4,390: Yawnze

Day 4,390: Yawnze

So…the time change is hard, lol. You’d think having an “extra” hour to sleep in the morning would be dope, right? Except that my bio-clock has been so hard set, I wake up exactly when I used to, which is now an hour early. So, I’m actually getting one hour LESS sleep...

Day 4,389: Profligate

Day 4,389: Profligate

Tonight’s fine distinction is between “Squash” and “Racquetball.” Squash is a sport played with two or four players in a completely enclosed space where you hit a small, firm ball with a narrow racket. Racquetball is a sport played with two or four players in a...

Day 4,388: And Reveling

Day 4,388: And Reveling

The time change is upon us. Testament to my internal clock, because I woke up this morning at PRECISELY 5:45 (ye olde 6:45 just a day ago). Couldn’t really get back to sleep either, sigh. So I didn’t enjoy the extra hour. But, that’s okay. Sleeping till the new 6:45...

Day 4,387: Aunt Gladys

Day 4,387: Aunt Gladys

We watched Weapons tonight because we’re still feeling spooky. It was really good! Four out of five stars for me, which is to say: I definitely recommend it. A step short, perhaps, of my absolute favorite kind of horror, I don’t think it’s like a masterpiece or...

Day 4,386: Happy Halloween!

Day 4,386: Happy Halloween!

We had an awesome halloween. Got to hang with Nicole and Alex. We set up our patio table and chairs in the driveway and had dinner together, and we set up our projector in the front yard and played K-Pop Demon Hunters and then The Nightmare Before Christmas and handed...

Day 4,385: HBD

Day 4,385: HBD

Happy Birthday today to one of my very best friends: Wolfie King. Love you, bud! He turned 12 today. Got some reeaaallyyy cool stuff, some really sweet, lovely cards, we did a scavenger hunt, delicious pie and burgers made by dad, helped him finish his homework, and...

Day 4,384: Le Tired

Day 4,384: Le Tired

Decent day. And I really do mean that! It was a good, solid day. Some wins, some losses. I am wiped, though. Need sleep. Searching for a great day this week and haven’t quite had it yet. Maybe tomorrow. We’ll see. Night night.

Day 4,383: Audacious

Day 4,383: Audacious

Tonight’s fine distinction is all about math, numbers to be precise: “natural numbers” vs “integers” vs “rational numbers” vs “real numbers.” Let’s throw in “irrational numbers” and “imaginary numbers,” too. Natural numbers are whole, round numbers. 1, 2, 3, 4, etc....
