Here’s my daily read that gets me through my work day:
* Wired News - tech news. These days with blogs they’re a little mainstream and behind the times but still an interesting selection of stories on technology and its impact on culture
* Austin friendly and Texas proud since 1936 (Marcia Gillespie’s blog) - How I […]

Because this post is about nothing in particular. Going to visit Ian’s family over Memorial Day weekend, that will be nice. Amy (Ian’s sister) is past the halfway point in her pregnancy. They decided to not know the sex til it is born. That would drive me crazy! I’m an information freak. If […]

My sister Laura and I went down to the ‘farm’ (which only has about an acre of veggies on it but we’ve always called it that!) to check on my grandmother. She is doing amazingly well for being 84 and having an 8 pound tumor removed from her. She was being ornery when we got […]

They have Photoshop contests where people edit photos to do weird things. Recently they’ve had images of mixed up fruit, mixed up tv shows, etc.

Everyone was so great to share with me about memories of loved ones and support while my grandmother is in the hospital. I’m lucky to be surrounded by such loving, wonderful people.

Well, went rock climbing with Vic yesterday, had a great time, then went to Barnes & Noble and browsed the books. I come out to get in my car, and this guy comes up to me and says he saw someone hit my car and drive off. He was writing this whole detailed account […]

Apparently our goldfish in the pond had babies! We’ve seen at least half a dozen small ones (I think they’re called fry?). We finally did research on the net and found that when one or more goldfish go after another and constantly push at it, they’re mating (sounds lovely, doesn’t it?). We were wondering […]

I’ve apparently been initiated into the next great digital annoyance after spam and adware….cell phone spam! I got a text notification on my Sprint PCS cell, which I rarely get. It was an ad for Vi@gra (sic)!!
I’d heard a little about this. I hope I don’t start getting inundated with them! Now all we need […]

Only 5 more days til the first legal, unqualified gay marriages in the United States can occur in Massachussetts!! I’d thought about going up there, but they are choosing to enforce a 1913 law that was enacted during the last change to the institution of marriage, interracial marriages. Many consider the law outdated and […]
