You win some, but not this one. Race day. I got to the race on time, though not easily. The Tercel broke down as I was passing the 200th street exit, and I coasted to a stop, assessed the situation, and rode for 30 minutes to get to the start line, still in plenty of […]

Argh. the nice electric litter box we have for our cat broke down after 3 months. At least it has a good warranty. Meanwhile, I’m feeling boneless. Maybe lack of sleep. Maybe because I didn’t ride to work Friday, because I didn’t fix the broken spoke in the back wheel Thursday night, because I was […]

Ash Wednesday Fasting, even to the limited extent that I do it, means mild grumpiness and slight apathy. It was a quiet day in every way for me: the big excitement was getting to teach an e-mail class this afternoon, same one I teach about every two weeks or so. Quiet ride to work, tasty […]

Days off are nice What a wasted day. I got enough done, but I could have done more. Here I am, nice day, good weather, and I’m moping around the house eating peanut butter on crackers because I haven’t been able to find my wallet since Sunday afternoon. The Lovely One asked if I had […]

More unseasonably good weather We’re just feeling all gifted and such these days, since Vancouver has been getting unusually good weather for the last few days. Okay, I wasn’t quite right before: a few pictures were taken this weekend using the fancy-pants camera from work. Here’s one: Nightshot mode is an awful lot of fun. […]

Big weekend equals less blogging. Sorry. Saturday, I did a fair amount of work on the car, all too boring to describe. And then, concert! David Jalbert playing the piano. He played an eclectic mix, from Bach to crazy modern stuff by a composer he described as “a bit of a commie.” Those pieces were […]

Special Bonus post just for co-worker Chris: Hi Chris. This is what a really unuseful weblog post looks like.

Oops. There was supposed to be a Thursday post, right? Right. I keep falling asleep. Last night, instead of fixing my stupid broken bike wheel, I fell asleep. Just too much to do and not enough energy. But that’s okay, the weekend is shaping up well: one piano concert, one or two major bike repairs, […]

“Don’t you love how websites are so much cooler now than they were three years ago?” That’s not me, that was T-bone said that. You know what I like? Not Windows. I’m not even about assigning blame here: I don’t care if it’s down to terrible programming, aim-at-the-biggest-target malware, or stupid user tricks; I just […]

Three new fillings, one long bike ride, and corn bread So I went out to my dentist’s office to pay for several years of dental neglect. No major hitches in getting three holes in my head plugged (pay no attention to those saying “do three more!”), but getting there was definitely about half the fun. […]
