Hey! I’m supposed to be cutting words! Ah well. I had a few minutes tonight, so I worked a few more pages in Twilight revisions. I’m liking this better as I work on it. Maybe two or three more times through, and I’ll have it scrubbed and presentable. Yeah, now … Continue reading →
Arrived early. Got seen about an hour after my appointment. Once things got moving, everything went very smoothly. My technician and doctor were both great. Professional with a good sense of humor. I don’t remember everything they did, but I came away with a sense that I’d just had a … Continue reading →
It’s 12:30 am. I can’t sleep. I have to get up at 5 am. After my last post, I realized I left the paperwork for my Pre-Op appointment back on my desk at work. That required a 20 minute drive to pick it up and the twenty minute drive home. … Continue reading →

I’m in a funk. I still can’t believe they traded Malik. Sure, they needed a big man. Sure, they needed salary cap room for this summer. I think I understand that. But did they mess up the team chemistry? I hope not. No. No. No. They’re professionals. They can overcome … Continue reading →
I finished the read-through. I like more of it than I hate of it–a lot more of it. I’m doing the easy revision parts while I mull over what to do with the parts I believe I need to change (hence the count above). I changed the beginning a bit. … Continue reading →
In October 2002, I was issued a brand, spanking new Dell laptop. Nice machine. Been working great, but I’ve noticed problems with this model–overheating, keyboards and screens dying, and hard drives toasting. Mine? Had the keyboard replaced last summer (learned to be proactive when a colleague couldn’t type his NATO … Continue reading →
(Are you noticing a trend in these titles?) I don’t know what to do with this. It’s not that I don’t like it so much as I don’t think it’s appropriate for other people to read (and some of you are asking what makes me think that’s my call to … Continue reading →
