For a few years now, I’ve been playing this game called “Getting Over It”. It’s nigh impossible to get through it and it’s designed that way. The game realizes its difficulty and in turns taunts you and consoles you. (more)

I’m not leaving Facebook. It’s where people I know and love have been for the last few years and I don’t think I would have any connection with them if I abandon that account. (If I really had my way, we’d all go back to LiveJournal.) If I think about it, I’ll post here, too.

This year’s Mando Manger goes multi-level. Happy Grogumas everyone! Hope you enjoy all the pics as much as I enjoy setting this up every year.

Amy got this for my tea.

My pullover has something to say.

Still not king.

I find it interesting that I am OK with the many different artist interpretations of Batman, Superman and other superheroes, but if they draw Archie characters differently, they lose me.

The NHC forecast calls for dissipation beyond 72 hours... While most of the global models still indicate that Sara is unlikely to survive its trek across the Yucatan Peninsula... Given the strong wind shear and cooler waters, no tropical redevelopment is expected over the Gulf of Mexico.

I think the toughest part of this transition to BlueSky is going to be trying to match handle with person again, like in the old LiveJournal days.

Hi!
