I always thought that Jim Caveizel would have been perfect in that role.

This season is going to be an absolute shit-show. I can see this turning into some kind of demolition derby. I can’t decide if I’m intrigued or disgusted.

Toaster oven FTW!

I do the bookkeeping for a small company and they’re in couple of partnerships. For one of them, it’s an absolute miracle if we get the K-1 by April 10th. It usually slides in about the 12th or 13th, and one year we had to file an extension because they were taking their sweet time. Once, we got the K-1 by March 15th…

Taken, smaken. I’d be in the other room scrubbing the serial numbers off that gem.

You work in the White House?

Atul Gawande’s book Being Mortal is a good one on the subject.

Lived through that as a board member of a community chorus when the music director didn’t get her way and quit. She then couldn’t understand why we were advertising for a replacement.

Bwahahahahaha!

Child of the Earth aka Jerusalem cricket. Sleep well.

We have a ‘banish box’ in the shed for just this purpose. It’s mostly for the kitchen gadgets that we think we need, but don’t want to keep cluttering up the drawers and cabinets.

One of the players from our local college team is from what is now South Sudan.

Hahahahahaha!

Marathon training is definitely a part time job, and you will come to hate it about the time you do your first 18 or 20 mile run. One thing I did not count on was that training for it killed my love of running for a long time. I still can’t bring myself to follow a set training plan. I came to hate the discipline the…

I drove a new one as a loaner while mine was being worked on. I’m in love.

I have a 2008 Mazda3 that I love. I just spent some coin on new motor mounts, shocks/struts and tires, but generally maintenance costs have been low. I get tempted by new rides, but this car keeps being fun to drive and reliable.

You assume Belichick will ever retire. I see him dying in that job, and he’ll probably outlive us all out of spite.

Mornings, because I run when I wake up. It’s hard to justify taking a second shower in the evening living in a drought stricken area.

If Fisher goes to the Browns, we’ll really find out what happens when you divide by zero.
