“Tonight, we are a country awakened to danger and called to defend freedom. Our grief has turned to anger and anger to resolution. Whether we bring our enemies to justice or bring justice to our enemies, justice will be done.” “We have seen their kind before. They’re the heirs of all the murderous ideologies of the 20th century. By sacrificing human life to serve their radical visions, by abandoning every value except the will to power, they follow in the path of fascism, Nazism and totalitarianism. And they will follow … Continue reading →

Just finished my walk this evening and am now guzzling water. Not much new at work today, which isn’t per se a bad thing. The rest of this week may be a little busier than last but not a big deal I suppose. I bought back cookies and brownies for my team, our Technical Consultants, and for a manager who had asked me to buy her some after the last time I bought some to work. These are from the “Mennonite Restaurant” back home, also known among our locals as … Continue reading →

Not much news today at all. Got back to Atlanta just before rush hour hit and got me and the cats settled back in. The fish were very glad to see me as the weekend feed was all but gone. I tried out a little of the furniture cleaner that I got from an antique shop back home. Seems to do a good job. We’ll see if it’s like the lemon oil I’d used in the past that just dries out after a few days. Supposedly this stuff gives back … Continue reading →

Many days without an update but I’ve been relaxing at home with my parents. Friday my Mom and I went to Macon, Warner Robins and Byron and spent too much money shopping. Primarily I got stuff for around my house, but I also got Megatron and Sky Byte from Transformers: Robots in Disguise. I figured on liking Megatron most but he has so many alternate modes and I’ve been less inclined to learn them. Sky Byte is pretty neat. There’s something about his robot mode that reminds me of Thunderwing … Continue reading →

What do you say about today?? I don’t think that I or any of us will forget the attacks on New York and DC today. I’ve felt like I was living in a dream all day. We all sat around today and listened to CNN’s audio feed on my computer and tried to fathom what was happenning. Reports kept coming in and changing as the day passed. It was like a ghost town when I left the office this afternoon. Where I normally wade through traffic to get home (even … Continue reading →

More or less just got back in from this evening’s walk. I didn’t end up going to Lowe’s this afternoon. I got a call just as I was ready to leave this afternoon and it was raining so I figured I might as well get it done rather than face it later and put off the mulch. Maybe tomorrow. And when I did leave, traffic in the direction I would have gone to run such errands was abysmal. So, I came home and had dinner and vegetated just a bit … Continue reading →

Didn’t post anything yesterday but didn’t miss telling much. I had an uneventful day. I read the paper and watched some TV before going out for a little shopping. I had to go by Lowe’s to pick up some pine bark mulch for my back yard beds. Didn’t get quite enough so will probably go by again after work today. I also got a small houseplant for my bathroom. It supposedly will get fair-sized, so it may one day move downstair’s somewhere. After that I ran by Publix and got … Continue reading →

Just cooling down from an hour long walk tonight. It’s been an uneventful day. I set the alarm to get up in time this morning to jumble through my VHS tapes and find one that didn’t have anything on it or nothing I wanted to keep at least so I could start recording Transformers: Robots in Disguise (heh, note earlier post where I referred to it as “Car Robots” from it’s Japansese origins). Anyway, recorded it. Not a lot to say. I’m hoping further into the series it gets more … Continue reading →

Nearly bed time. Been pleasantly quiet at work which is nice for a change. I couldn’t handle the slow pace as a rule, but I’m not going to cry over it either for a bit. Got home around 4:30pm today and caught up with my mom on the phone. I think it had been well over a week since we’d talked. She caught me up on what various family members are up to and the plans she and one of her nieces are hatching to have some sort of family … Continue reading →

Had an awful headache this evening but three tylenols and a lot of water later and it’s subsided quite a bit. Finished the last of my Superboy Comics this morning over breakfast. Pulled out my own collection last night and discovered that I only duplicated one issue in the purchase, and for 50 cents a pop not a big deal. I think I may have to work on filling some of the holes in the collection. I was really surprised how much 20 year old comics could still entertain me. … Continue reading →
