Boo!

Almost literal year since last post... But, that's a good thing. Currently enjoying Week Two of Homeownership. 13 months from unemployment to buying a house is certainly bragging rights.

I'd like to say more, as always but, I've got a couple of projects (dinner) before the Mrs comes home...

When the system renewed my membership a couple of days ago, I was glad and...

A brief post to let you all know I'm still alive and things are well.

1) I'm working and well! I was picked up by a mental health agency that runs group homes in the Northwest, w/ populations primarily schizophrenic. They liked me so much that I received two promotions before I even started working, a third now that they see me on the job....

Turkey Day was wonderful! For both Lyle and Lili, it was perhaps their very first Thanksgiving away from their families. Amanda Rae and I had long known that those people whom you dread to see twice a year don't have to be the family you spend holidays with. All in all, it was just the four of us.

Busy, and brief to say the least... T-Minus 3 days to getting hitched. Overwhelmingly overdue to post but, you can expect that next weekend once I'm back home. Thinking of having drinks w/ locals and catching up properly.

Cosby Bebop

This makes me want Jello & Cowboy Bebop in the worst way!

I was making the post-North Carolina commentaries when I stumbled onto the world's most brilliant synopsis of where the election stands this week. The original (and many others worth reading) can be found at MadAtoms. For those of you too busy to click, cheers!

It's 2:31 AM. The Democratic Party is sleeping peacefully when it hears its phone buzz on the night stand. It...

Everyone trusted Dr. Yueh; his Suk school training forbid the taking of human life. But when he betrayed the Atreides, he offered Duke Leto an opportunity to avenge himself on the Baron Harkonnen.

"Be quiet, please, my poor Duke. You haven't much time.

That peg tooth I put in your mouth after the tumble at Narcal--that tooth must be replaced, in a moment, I'll render...
