Some of my readers were interested and asked questions. A couple were curious [...]

Now installed — you will find the comment feed in the Meta box to your right. You may now subscribe to the comments.
Warning: Thom claims that subscribing to the comments on my blog is what made him crazy. (I find Thom’s claim highly suspect, but I wanted you to have all available — albeit specious [...]

My long time readers will know that when I moved to Hawaii, I pretty much sold and or gave away everything I owned. The stuff I couldn’t bear to part with, I boxed and mailed. The boxes I sent to my sister and she kept them in her garage until I went home a few [...]

I stopped at the grocery store on my way home from work and bought one lemon and some cocktail toothpicks. There were few clerks and long lines. The cashier was working as fast as she could and surviving by rote. “Hello did you find everything today? Debit or credit? Thank you [...]

I think stem cell research is a good thing — but [...]

It’s hot here on Oahu — hot and humid and exhausting. Most private homes in Hawaii aren’t air conditioned. Usually the wind blows and provides all the air conditioning we need, but lately the breeze doesn’t blow in until sundown. I guess it’s spending its summer out on the ocean with the tourists.
Sunday after [...]

He said, “You know, some of those little fish-shaped snack crackers would be nice.”

Yep, Twitter is joining the “pay you to blog” platforms and soon there will be $weet Tweet$ all over the net. No longer will business people have to tweet their own horn, they can [...]

A bunch of us had just survived our very first round of mid-terms. We gathered in the Student Union Building to gripe about them. I don’t know what prompted the confession, one minute we were all bemoaning our grades, and the next thing I knew, I was admitting that I’d never seen a naked [...]

Apparently one of my plugins went rogue and corrupted my data base, knocking my blog offline. Since it did this while I was at work (putting in 2.5 of the 10-15 hours I am allowed to work per week), I couldn’t do a thing about it. However, after I got home and fiddled a bit [...]
