Tasty Tuesday
So when we did the Grandmom exchange at Hancock, I picked up some fresh local apples.
Actually, I picked up a LOT of apples, because I prefer a variety of apples in my pie.
With just three of us, an entire pie is just a bit too much–either I’ll eat too much pie, or the pie will [...]

The Looming Financial Crisis
I’m actually not that worried, for several reasons.
First, although Wall Street is in a tizzy, I’m not sure that a longer look at the financial recovery bill is such a bad idea. After all the Bush administration rushed the PATRIOT Act through and look what that got us. So I believe thinking things through before [...]
Rough Weekend
I’ve seen seven people already today sleeping–one sitting straight up at his computer with his hand on the mouse.
And it’s not even midterms!
Transfer Achieved
In theory, everything is now transferred to Dreamhost.
If you’re poking around, let me know if anything is not working correctly.

Sunday Flower Pr0n
Fall is most definitely here.
Plants are dying back, and now the stems and flower heads of my plants will feed birds for awhile.
Brown is starting to take over the garden, although I still have a few plants with fall and winter color.
For weeks and weeks the echinacia was covered in bees and butterflies. Now it [...]

Afterwards
I was just replying to an e-mail from my aunt, when the spellchecker (from google toolbar I think) told me that I’d misspelled “afterwards” (see! there it goes again!) and gave me the options “afterward” and “afterwords”.
So I looked it up, and apparently “afterwards” is a variant.
Really?
Using “afterward” sounds weird to me. I’m sure [...]

A Brief Moment of Your Time
A question to everyone who says they will not be participating in the upcoming election because “their vote doesn’t count.”
Are you really that stupid?
Seriously?
First, may I remind you of the contested counties that held up the declaration of the 2000 presidential election. However, I’ll accept your points about the electoral college, because they don’t [...]
