Not a good Friday
Sigh. I just can't get ahead. I woke up Friday morning with a very sore lower left back. I had a few odd twinges/some soreness on Tuesday night, but it was really bad. When I went to get out of...
Fairly busy day
I knew today was going to be sort of crazy, so I tried to get as much stuff done on Saturday as possible. I went to the Obama info session that my friends Jeff and Gary hosted. Chris Young of...

Finally, a relaxing night
I had a very nice chat with my friend Aelis. We hadn't had the chance to talk in a while, so it was great to catch up. She has a new puppy named Orlando (from the character in Shakespeare's As...
Tom Cruise, Star Trek and an error
This made me giggle. I have long thought of Tom Cruise as a space cadet. However, to clarify, the character that Leonard Nimoy played in the original series was Mr. Spock, not Dr. Dr. Benjamin Spock is the renowned...

Yet more stress, but new stuff subsided
Oy. About a month ago, a neighbor filed a complaint about the dogs barking. I felt mortified that I had not been more diligent, but I wish he had at least spoken to me first. So, I got the ticket,...

Help needed for tonight, meeting stuff

Easter dinner with family
Ken and I went to my Mom's for Easter dinner, which was very nice. My grandma, her hubby, my stepfather, my brother and my mom's neighbor Laura were there was well. The dining area was slightly crowded, but not too...
Nervous about deadline
Hmm, I am still at work with a client who was supposed to migrate from 1 server to another this afternoon. I am due to pick someone up in less than 20 minutes for a UNCLE board meeting. Not looking...

And the onslaught continues
Still trying to keep up. I got some of the domestic stuff done this morning before driving up to give Ken a ride to work. I had received a voice mail message yesterday from Chris Young, who wanted to set...

Mixed message on a sign
So, I am driving home, and I notice one of those large PA Lottery signs with the big numbers indicating how many millions the jackpot. Then I looked below that and saw that they had a compulsive gambling 800 number...
A slightly exhausting day
I had a nice surprise this afternoon. I got an email from a new advertiser who wanted to take out a quarter page ad for a year in Erie Gay News. Yippee! They had already laid the ad out, but...

French woman with rare facial tumor, who had sought euthanasia, found dead - International Herald Tribune
How horrible! I really feel for this woman. I don't think that people should choose to end it lightly, however, I think that there are definitely circumstances where the decent, compassionate and humane thing is to let someone go....

Trautman just doesn't get it
What a clueless creep! Bishop Trautman does not get it. One of his priests is let off for molesting a minor on a technicality, and his response is to start bashing the folks who reported it about ethics?? They...

Mega tired
It was a fairly full day. I still feel overwhelmed at work. I am not sure whether I am making progress or not. We had a fairly small get together for the Greet 'N Chat, which included a visit from...
Sen. Jane Earll opposes SB 1250
I am very sorry that this made it out of the Judiciary Committee, but I am thrilled that Sen. Jane Earll was quoted as opposing this. I just left her Erie office a voice mail to thank her. (Always...

Long day
It was a fairly long day. I worked on catching up on the usual geek and domestic stuff. We met about the Pride Picnic at 2 PM. Someone had asked about adding a talent show to the other aspects of...
St. Patrick's Day parades to run into Holy Week roadblock
I find this oddly amusing. Although I was technically baptized Catholic, I have never identified as Christian in my entire life. I am also a lifelong teetotaler, so that doesn't cramp my style either. Basically, the guy I don't...

Technorati Tags: Zodiac Dinor My friend did his first night of stand up comedy tonight at the Zodiac Dinor. He had been meaning to do it for a while. There were 4 comedians, and 2 of them were first timers....

New photos
So, here is the new hair color. Please don't laugh too hard. ;) But my stylist and a few of his friends (ranging from 19 to 38) say that it takes 10 years off me. (Which probably works out to...

To dye for
Will see how this goes over. Ken had mentioned about having done haircutting and etc. I was noticing that I was getting a little shaggy and mentioned it to him. He had also thought that coloring my hair would be...
