We Have Ice

No snow really (I mean, there’s lots on the ground), but this morning we woke up to a nice coating of ice. I actually like freezing rain, it’s almost magical the way it puts a complete coating of ice on things. Yes, it makes for dangerous travel. I realize that. Still, it’s really nifty to see happen.

Gifts for Weird People

The weird people being me of course. It turns out, I’m rather difficult to buy for. My hobbies are rather limited, and if I want something throughout the year, I generally just buy it.

The pills were all waiting all snug in their bottle ’cause Shawn hadn’t taken one as he knows that he ought’l And so Vince exclaimed ere he left … Read more

Our Annual Perigee Celebration

Well, it’s a song cool enough to repeat as often as it happens. Tonight, the full moon is the perigee moon, which means it is closer to Earth than any other time of year. It’s also in a particular part of the lunar cycle to make it closer than normal even for perigee. So it’s like really close and stuff. … Read more
