I'm Late, I'm Very Very Late....Anyone wanting to fall down a rabbit hole with me better hurry...I'm getting ready to run out the door...into the car and up the road about 4 hours to Eureka..Small family gathering on the horizon...keeping out a weater eye for dark clouds... I woke up an hour late, have eaten breakfast, made coffee, dryed clothes, re-boiled some chicken stock and...

It seems as though I never have quite enough time allotted for updating my blog...Take this evening for example, cooking beans while caring for my slightly debilitated cat, talking computers, fashion and the weather with close friends and just generally trying to relax, while this beacon from my computer mandates a blog update..I can no longer resist...I am compelled...

The Maibock tapping party was a...

Hmmmmm...What was I going to write about???? Oh yes...I love these cold spring mornings that morph into just warm enough afternoons so that you can walk around The City without working up a sweat...Was that it...was that what was on my mind??? Maybe...it will work for now.

Today is an "extra" Sunday for me...I should be working both jobs today but actually had the whole day off yesterday and won't go in to work until later today...I was semi-productive yesterday but it rained most of the day so much of production was of the indoor variety..I am slowly finding myself in my own life again. Why is it so easy to let...

I guess it's that time again. I get all enthused about writing this thing and then get distracted by coffee drinks...go figure, who would have suspected that a bit of caffeine would lead to a myriad of adventures. The only related incident I have would be with my all too brief experience with psylocybin...Ahhh, the heady days of imagining that all the universe is merely...

I need to keep up on this thing even if I don't have that much to say. I'm not nearly as thrilling to read as some of the blogs I see posted around here but I will at least be consistent. I had a rare day off today and made some use of it. The day dawned blue as the clouds from the previous days...
