Only a couple more days and the campaigning is over and the recounts can begin. Saw "Shark Tale" tonight with my sweetie honey Grace. Pretty funny flick, tho the previews for "Madagascar" looked better. Weeded and pruned out about a quarter ton of stuff from my gardens yesterday. I still have at least that much … Continue reading Skipping Merrily Along The Highway To Hell →

Title courtesy of Tom Waits I'd love to tell y'all that the past week has been filled with nonstop action and adventure here at Chez Cross, but the truth is that Grace and I have just been practicing being middle aged and working class. Also, the weather has been rainy and sucky, keeping us inside. … Continue reading The Piano Has Been Drinking →

I Am CoyoteCoyote is a fun-loving goofball and that fits you to a T. Playfully silly, you appear somewhat bumbling at times, and your goofy exterior sometimes makes people forget what a quick mind and razor wit hides behind that amiable grin. In the mythos of the Plains tribes, Coyote is also a Creator, and … Continue reading Dwarf Hamsters In A Creamy Orange Sauce →

Feeling MUCH better today, mostly because My Sweet Little Marsh Rabbit Of Cuteness let me sleep for almost 10 hours last night. Might not do much today, since I don't want to risk a relapse, but at least I'm not sick while I'm loafing about:) The air here in the Sacramento Valley has been filled … Continue reading Ahoy, Maties, We’re Settin’ Sail Fer Mayhem And Fun! →

Feeling much better today...actually slept for up to two hours at a time last night...probably 6 hours total...still have some congestion and a sore throat...hoping to snooze hard tonight

Feeling somewhat better, but still only got about 3 hours of solid sleep this morning...most of the night was doze for 10 minutes/wake up coughing/doze/wake up/etc, etc...I'm going to work, but will try to get off early...Will be going to bed right after dinner tonight...hopefully, this sick period is almost over.

Go home and get well"...told him thanx and came home...waiting for my morning caffiene to wear off so I can sleep...blinding sinus headache is assaulting me...daytime tv generally sucks...dog is glad to see me...drinking … Continue reading And The Scene Changes →

Let's see...what to write...I know, I'll bitch about being sick! Claratin did exactly zip for me and the Sudafed I took managed to clear my nasal passages for about 3 hours, during which I got my only sleep last night. Oh yeah, today will be fun at work. One thing about being awake most of … Continue reading Take A Right At The Light, Then Straight On ‘Til Night →

My allergies have now progressed to the point where not only is my nose clogged up much of the time, but my throat (which my doctor tells me is narrower than is usual for a man my size) is swollen and trying to shut off every so often. Just to much fun, I tell ya. … Continue reading The Great 500 Mile Party Race Of 1982 →

My damned Fall allergies hit yesterday. I'm not quite as miserable as I have been in past autumns, but I still feel like 5 pounds of shit in a 3 pound bag. Hopefully this will not segue into the flu, which seems to happen every 3 years or so. I'll know in a couple of … Continue reading A Kiss From An Angel →

Biggest news here at Castle Docenstein is that the battery on our car died yesterday. It was the original battery, 4+ years old, so it was overdue to crap out. However, even as I write this, Little CuRVy (the cars name) is at the dealers getting a battery transplant. Our Kingdom Building Game seems to … Continue reading The Dancing Mice Go To Paris →
