A podcast delayed is a podcast denied.

Seems ***Dave managed to break his computer and is currently Skypeless and thus unable to participate in our semi-regular forays into tangent travelling.

22 days into the new year

… and the last of Christmas 2011 is packed away. The cats don’t know what to do with all the free space in front of the door wall. It’ll soon be occupied by the dining table and they’ll once again have something to hide under, but it won’t be as cozy as the Christmas tree . . . → Read More: 22 days into the new year

You know you’re getting older when your pragmatism overrides your sentimentality.

Part of what the neighbors had to put up with this year.

Part of what the neighbors had to put up with this year.

I did something today that I always hate doing and yet I do it every year: I took down the outside Christmas decorations.

I’m not much of a romantic, but I am very, very sentimental. Part of the reason I’m a huge . . . → Read More: You know you’re getting older when your pragmatism overrides your sentimentality.

Just thought I should write a quick entry explaining what I am and am not up to at the moment. Especially considering that there was a flood of postings from Google+ that have suddenly stopped. The reason for that is that I have turned off that plugin for the moment as it was interacting oddly . . . → Read More: A few notes and random updates.

I rescued him yesterday from the parking lot at work. Apparently a few of the engineers here like to walk the circuit of the lot as exercise after eating lunch (it’s a huge lot that’s mostly empty) and they spotted him in the . . . → Read More: Meet Jasper, the newest member of the Jenkins family.

I’ve mentioned before that as a kid I used to think there would be a point in time at which I would truly feel like an adult and that I knew what I was doing in this thing called life. That day has yet to come and today is not that day. That said, I do . . . → Read More: Today I am 44 years old.

Here’s an entry about how I have nothing to talk about.

It’s been five days since my last update so I thought I’d do one of those lame-ass “I’m not dead” type entries where I babble on about not having anything to babble on about. In a nutshell, life has been hectic the past week and it doesn’t appear to be letting up anytime soon. A . . . → Read More: Here’s an entry about how I have nothing to talk about.

Quick update on the Podcast.

Blah blah blah…

***Dave and I managed to babble for about an hour and a half yesterday and the tangents were flying fast and furious. However I also spent most of yesterday suffering from vertigo, which is a new experience in itself,  so much of what I wanted to do yesterday didn’t get done. . . . → Read More: Quick update on the Podcast.
