These are a few posts I’ve wanted to post, but just haven’t gotten around to, so I’m pilingthem into one meaty post instead of a couple of weak little ones. First, from the “She’s an honorary New Yorker” catagory, Kim got in a good one the other day at a motorist who decided to pull…
Today, I bought Ellen this 36 book set from costco called “A Treasury of Illustrated Classics”. The site talks about the smaller, 20 volume thus: The best of the world’s classics have been especially adapted and fully illustrated for today’s young readers. The enchantment of these timeless tales has set generations on a lifetime love…
Well, the repeat sleep study is over and I seem to have passed. No one came to me in the middle of the night to make me put on SCUBA gear–which is a very good thing. I still have to wait for the doctor’s report, but if they don’t see enough to test out CPAP,…
Well, not really…but it’s a good title! Actually, it’s more like “sleeping in a strange place with little sensors attached to my body in uncomfortable places”…but that’s sorta the same, right? Tonight is the post-surgery follow-up sleep study that should tell if I still have sleep apnea. I’m sure hoping I don’t, and Kim insists…
I’ve been listening to, and playing, a good deal of music lately for myself and a friend of mine online, and it’s brought back many of my loves for good music, especially good guitaring. We listened to the 3 different versions of “Little Wing” tonight, by Hendrix first, then by Clapton (Derek and the Dominoes),…
Courtesy of Gaiman’s blog, a few sundry oddities: Sushi Pillows. Get ’em while they’re cold. And, the ducks are back. This time they’re animated. Woo. People are odd. I like it.
Courtesy of William Gibson, someone has finally decided to start tracking the weird auctions on Ebay (e.g., the Grilled Cheese of Christ…). Welcome to Disturbing Auctions. I think I’ll bid on Stinky the Conch Shell Pelican. Who wouldn’t want one??
Kim tells me this story tonight: “Sarah opened her fortune cookie and Rachel read it as: Every rose has it’s thorns. Ellen says “I know what that means.” so we turned to her and asked what she thought it meant. I assumed she’d say something about how every flower has thorns. Instead, she says “With…
Yesterday evening, Kim had the unenviable task of reading the last 2 chapters of Charlotte’s Web, which includes the chapter where Charlotte dies, to Ellen. It’s a very sad part and Ellen totally lost it, WAILING for about 20 minutes. So, after some settling down, she was OK. However, she told me a story that…
My mom tell this story: “Ellen and I were at the museum of natural history on Martin Luther King day, and it was packed because all the other kids were off. So we got into an elevator and it was just crammed with like 40 people. All of a sudden, Ellen pipes up from under…
