Haven’t done this in a little bit so I’ll make it a quickie just to get my feet wet.
Somewhere in early June, I got in a bit of a thing with my internet provider. I think it went something like this: I forgot to pay my broadband bill (which is also my cable provider) in [...]
Is this thing on?
Sticky cows
I stopped at County Market on the way home from work Friday morning. They had this ice cream by Prairie Farms called “Cows-Moo-Politan”. It’s chocolate ice cream, vanilla ice cream with little milk chocolate moo cows strewn throughout. I thought it sounded pretty good so I picked up a carton. Last night about 10 I [...]
Quickly
Shortly after my last post the old PC croaked. There’s a bunch of pictures on there I wasn’t smart enough to back up on CD so hopefully I’ll figure a way to extract them. I blew the dust off my even older one in the closet and booted it up to see what was the matter [...]
s.o.s.
The last time I was here I’d been on vacation and was coming off a really sweet cold and hadn’t been running. I went back to work for 1 day, got about 6 hours sleep and woke up to bright red eyes, green snot and my eyes glued shut with the green juice. That was [...]
The Idles of March
Got back from the golf trip last Sunday evening. All plants were still alive. There must have been some thunderstorms while I was gone. The clocks were all showing different times. The lights were off over the little plants and apparently the only light they’d been getting for awhile was that of the south window [...]
And furthermore…
after I railed about SBC Yahoo DSL’s poor customer support in the last entry, I should at least come back and add that they are now called AT&T and they use the Yahoo browser. I’m not sure what the deal is that company changing names constantly. I think when I used it, it was called [...]
Notes
I’ve done nothing but eat, breathe and work here lately so I’ll throw out a few random things here to keep the grim reaper from casting her net over my blog again. A net no doubt made from a broomstick, wire hanger and an old pillow case.
Dear old Mom has been making do with dialup [...]
The St Valentine’s Day FatAssacre
Feb. 14, 2009
I’d been feeling some kind of sick coming on in the days preceding
the Charleston run. I felt a little better the morning of the run
and thought I’d successfully fought the thing off. However, I don’t
know if I sort of nuked my defense system with the hour and a half
of elevated pulse or if [...]
Charleston Challenge Mid-Winter Classic 15K
Feb 7 2009
Where: Charleston,IL
Time: 10:00 am
Surface: asphalt
Weather:sunny, 50F, breeze out of the south at 5-10mph
I hadn’t been for an organized run since the “mooing bear” incident.
Actually there aren’t many scheduled for the middle of winter around
these parts. This particular run had taken place for the first time
last year. It was small, as not many [...]
And then there was 2009
January is just a month to be survived if you’re trying to do anything outside. My only real running goal for this year was to try and be a little more active than last year. I don’t ask for much, and with my track record that’s a good thing. By my calculations I ran 15 [...]
