Since I don’t have the mental capacity at the moment to concentrate on anything for more than fifteen minutes, I decided to try out Ubuntu, a “linux for the rest of us” distro that actually lives up to the hype. Install was insanely easy, even though it did take too much of the hard drive […]
Falling down hurts. Falling down hurts even worse when you’re on crutches and have a bum foot.\ I wish I could sleep.\ I wish this pain pill would kick in.\ That is all.
Nobody commented on my inadvertent description of Kevin’s green pussy in the ‘life update’ post? Tough room.
As of today:\ Maxwell, age 6 yrs, is 48 1/2 inches tall and 53 lbs.\ Brian, age 18 mos, is 35 inches tall and 30 1/2 lbs.\ All of these stats are at or above the 90th %. No wonder my back hurts.

I don’t know what this means for trends, or projections for 2006, but a big thank you to the Loudoun County Democrats. I’m sorry I couldn’t help […]
GOP leaders urge leak probe into secret prisons report\ I would think that whoever leaked the information would be covered under the whistle blower law. The tactic is illegal, and they’ve uncovered illegal activity. Classified or not, the leaker should be given a medal, not investigated.\ Again, the GOP has it backwards: The crime is […]
I have bacterial contamination!! No, it’s not an infection, it’s “contamination”. Well, that’s what Dr. Wilson says, and boy is it pretty. Lucky for you, I forgot to bring the camera. Stupid, stupid, stupid! The green discharge around the bloody staples, bruises and redness was impressive. I get to take a really good antibiotic for […]
