Thoughts on the Day

  • I have successfully learned something new at work every day this week.  That’s a good feeling.
  • The thermometer on the car said 73 degrees when I left home this morning, 82 when I got to work, 106 when I got back in the car this evening, and 85 when I got home.  Yep, it’s Louisville.
  • It’s rained here two days in a row.  I’m pretty sure that’s the first time that’s happened in a couple of months.
  • Boo is looking at the advertisement for the local super-dooper humongous sporting goods store.  He has announced that he wants one of the pretty guns and a parachute.  Not sure where that’s leading, but it sounds interesting.
  • The farm I buy produce at has canning tomatoes by the ton. This weekend it shall be tomato sauce, diced tomatoes, chili base, and spaghetti sauce.
  • Boo’s school decided it was too muddy to go play outside today.  Heck, to a 4-year-old, it’s never too muddy.
  • I woke up last night to listen to Irish Woman argue with Koshka over who got to sleep in the center of the bed.  I took the smart path and let them hash it out on their own while I went back to sleep.
  • A couple mulberry bushes have decided to spring up next to our pond.  I for one welcome this opportunity to get the machete out of the tool closet.
    • Yeah, they’re only 1/2 inch in diameter at best, but any excuse to use the machete is a good excuse to use the machete.
  • Apparently Roger Daltry and Pete Townshend are bringing their back-up band to Louisville in February.  I may have to get tickets to see the “We Didn’t Plan For Retirement Very Well” tour.

    Ah, I see you’ve already taught Koshka to swear, if they were arguing. Or did you catch a stray claw/nail in the argument?

      Nope, she had some acumen in that area when she come to my home. She’s been giving me lip since the drive home.

    Having a Siamese means committing yourself to arguing with a cat for the rest of its natural lifespan.

    LabRat, having ANY cat means committing yourself to arguing with it for the rest of its natural lifespan.

    Granted, Mika doesn’t argue much. But he does try to herd me to bed when he thinks I’m too stupid/sick/hurt to be upright.

    It’s like having too much money – it just doesn’t work that way.

    Mud! Yeah, Mud! Let’s build a mud castle!

    That school needs an education.

    I’m bummed that Roger and Pete aren’t bringing their show anywhere near me–again. They’ve stopped scheduling concerts for when I was overseas and started simply doing it elsewhere.

      I saw how much they wanted for tickets, and to be honest, I’ll just go to see Quadrophenia at the movie theaters.
