To whoever dug us out of the remaining snow on our sidewalks and driveway with a snowblower, I say thanks. We were in no shape to do shoveling again. I had no idea that shoveling could make your hands sore. I knew my whole body would hurt, but not my hands. Thanks.
The young and the ignorant
I wish I had something better to say about the recent accident that killed two students at my sister’s school, one student at another school, and left another one in the hospital. It’s very tragic. I’ll link you up to the news stories: http://blogs.jsonline.com/nichols/archive/2007/11/28/ntsb-interested-in-i-43-crash.aspx http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/22013658/ http://www.wisn.com/news/14704785/detail.html http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/22103779/ It looks like there are some key lessons […]
Setlist
So I went to see Jeremy Enigk play almost a year ago. After the show, I snatched a setlist and wanted to post it, but it got lost in the shuffle of daily madness until tonight. Here is the setlist!!!! Jeremy Enigk Setlist See my original posts on the show here and here.
Another Late Night With My Beloved
And you thought this would be racy, huh? Nope, my love affair with books has been going on since long ago. I remember sneaking my booklight and a book under the covers as a kid and throwing them at the wall on the other side of my bed as my parents knocked to say goodnight. […]
A Book Review!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Presence: An Exploration of Profound Change in People, Organizations, and Societyby Peter Senge, C. Otto Sharmer, Joseph Jaworski, and Betty Sue Flowers This is a very interesting book. I picked it up out of the Managment & Leadership section of the Barnes & Noble where I used to work because it was going to be sent back […]
Phenomenon, or Welcome to Joe’s Casino of Saukville
I just finished watching the new mentalist search show with Uri Geller and Criss Angel, Phenomenon. The show itself is pretty standard as far as the contest shows go, each contestant demonstrates his/her talent and the audience gets to vote on their favorite, or least favorite contestants. But this time they’re looking for mentalists – […]
Two cats are better than one?
So, we’ve got two cats. There’s Tangee (we didn’t change his name when we got him), who we adopted from the Humane Society the August after we got the house. He’s odd. He was about twelve when we got him and he made these odd noises at the shelter, so we grabbed him up. Because […]

Sniffles and Cranky Pharmacists
Ever since pseudoephedrine went behind the pharmacy counter, I’ve been trying to do everything I can to not buy it. There are a couple of reasons for this, the primary one being that I don’t want to be on some list of people who take a particular drug . . . and therefore suspected of […]
Lowering Our Carbon Footprint, part 2
Earlier this year I wrote about how Jerry and I have bought an engine-less lawnmower in Lowering Our Carbon Footprint, part 1. I guess the next logical thing to write about is the car. Since we live in Wisconsin, it’s nearly impossible to fill up a hydrogen, biodiesel, or other alternate-fuel using car. Jerry had […]
