i need to make friends with sleep

if i can do that ONE thing in 2010, it will improve my life in unbelievable ways.  today, being the holiday, is a very odd day.  but, that brings it all out into the open.  i got to bed at 3:15 or so, which is typical if you work until 2:30am.  actually, it’s pretty good.  [...]

chendo – 462 da f@#K

what a town.  our local newsbird came in the bar today and started flapping his gums about being in shenandoah and seeing the FBI arresting the town police force.   he’s a teller of tall tales, and this is certainly tall stuff.  turns out to be true.  there’s no doubt in my mind that the cops [...]

it’s my birthday

and generally that passes with a recognition from a chosen few.  this year, however, i have a facebook account.  needed one to keep track of the wife and kids’ cyberspace activities.  it is also, apparently, the gateway to a thousand well wishes.  that’s kindof neat, and it’s also kindof like a “holy crap, people are [...]

man, there have been so many updates that i didn’t make.  goofy stories, mini-realizations.  phfft.  gone from my memory banks.  but fear not, i do have a post for tonight.  although it’ll be a ton of rambling.  so be it . . . i think the first thing is that i’m recognizing this month as [...]
