in which I write about stuff
Today, after work, we went to Fred Meyer for a while, because it’s air conditioned and our house can get kind of stifling around 5-ish. No particular shopping mission, which was kinda fun…looked at the rubbermaid stuff, the furniture, lamps, clothes…. And ended up in the shoe section. I’ve been meaning to buy new sneakers [...]
I’ve been chewing on bb/Shelley’s latest…. I have three (maybe four) “real” friends in my “virtual/blog” world, and a couple more who I’m sure are out there, reading but not blogging. two are people I’d lost track of entirely in the real world, one on purpose, so to speak, and one by the vagrancies of [...]

OSCon in Portland – can’t go to the actual conference of course. way too much money. but I wonder if the (free!) exhibitor’s hall would count as work. I’m wishing I’d realized this was going to be so close much, much earlier – then there would’ve been a prayer that I could’ve gone to the [...]
I want a soda. (scary but true: at first I said to myself “I want a pop.”)
I don’t know what I’m doing with my life.
