Quick! Hide!!

I have to clean up the house. Really dreading it. It's not horrible, I just hate doing it sometimes. At least I'm not hoarding.

Sorry I missed the okra squash conversation :( Got a lot of those growing up, to the point I would get sick of it. We had a garden and for a while most of our meals involved potatoes, squash and string beans. Good in moderation, but after 3, 4, 5 days start turning into weeks it gets old...

Nice!

I'm not sure if my pinewood derby cars are still around. I remember the tricks from back then, getting the weight right and graphite to reduce wheel friction. I think dad got more out of the first one than me. My second car was much simpler and did better. I remember painting it gold and...

Kids go back to their mom's full time tomorrow :( They've been here full time since August, and I had them a lot of the summer, too. Unfortunately they are going to be packing up a lot tonight, so not as much fun time left. I'm also getting ready to move in a few months and they are a little...

I'll tell you tomorrow...

very cool. great work, dad!

I'm all over the map today. More people let go on Monday, someone in my group gave notice today that he's leaving Friday. So I might have to cancel a trip I've been planning for months. And my kids are moving back with their mom this weekend, so a bit sad about that. And also my lease is...

Yeah, I saw it on basic cable, so they were edited for content. I remember when this, Monsters, Tales from the Darkside, Gilbert Gottfried, and Elvira all came on in a row late night on different channels. I should've gotten out more.

It was a fun show. I didn't realize it ran so long. A little campy and B-movie style.

Wow, I haven't seen WordPerfect in a long time. I'm running VMware on my Mac to use my really old Windows/DOS programs in a Windows XP environment. It works pretty well, but I can't seem to find the right driver for my ancient USB tablet to do pressure sensitivity. And my DOS and pre-XP...

Thinking about my kids moving back to their mom's next month. And also about work. More people released. Our group is already too small. And I have to decide where to move to, which might mean closer to other work opportunities which would also mean further from kids.

I enjoy teasing my kids too much. This morning on the way to wait for the school bus, I tapped my daughter's right shoulder and kept walking past her on the left. She spun her head and turned all the way to the right and didn't see me until she looked straight ahead again.

Might be getting a kitten. Depends on the neighbor being able to part with one and my dog agreeing not to eat it. They have a lot of farm cats.

I hope not. So many are in need of repair and also conservation and protection often means restricting/reducing access :(

Snow???

A coworker's wife is on mandatory overtime as well. So far paid, but real drag since she just had a baby. And they gripe about her doing the time early instead of later in the day.
