...am recovering after a looooong but fruitful Reunion day. The day event was salvaged by a pleasant breeze and a LOT of cute kids. And the evening dinner lasted a bit into this morning, even though it officially ended at midnight. We spent an hour talking in the parking lot because nobody was quite ready to go home.

Look like blueberries, taste sort of like grapes, but have fairly large seeds, grow on trees, wild all over the place here. Also called Indian Pears or serviceberries. I don't know that they have anything in particular to do with Saskatoon.
That reminds me, I should pick more today. They're good in muffins and pancakes; the cooking softens the seed.

You're in my thoughts. Hope there've been no after effects of the crash.
Today I... start officially stressing over the start of school. 90 degree heat in the rooms with 30 at-risk kids whose biggest challenge in life will be to find a button on me that has never yet been pushed.

Old Classroom: small, tight fit, hot and ugly torquosish paint. I cannot decorate, I've no idea. The walls were plain.
New Classroom: Looks like an old shop or home-ec room about FOUR TIMEs the size of the old, with pink paint. It will be four times the ugly.

Posted by matlock on :
thanks Cobie and Kent for the well wishes. Things are better tonight. The cables on, and we have a trickle of water running. My wife heated up enough water on the stove to get semi-cleaned and I was able to fill the toilet tanks up. The main thing now is that we're all getting a bit of cabin fever. My wife can't get to her office and school's out til at least Thursday. Still, we are very thankful that we're safe and sound and so are our families. So many people here have been hit much harder than us, it seems ungrateful to gripe about things at all.

Glad to hear things are starting to get back to normal for you. From the drought last year to flooding this year. Hopefully no more rain will come your way until all the flood waters go down.

The prognosis is good, though. Luckily, the infection didn't get into the bloodstream, and she's starting to respond to the antibiotics. Hopefully she'll be home soon, but this is Day 3 of her hospital stay, and there is nothing more heartbreaking than seeing your loved one suffering.

Baked Lays aren't bad alternatives. Pretzels and Quakes are recommended, too.

I've been slightly obsessed with serial killers since I was a preteen. Not that I think they're cool, mind you, but the idea of catching them. I was a criminal justice minor and one of the many jobs I one day wanted was FBI Profiler for serial killers. I own a lot of crime text books, with an inordinate amount of serial killer books. My wife just shakes her head. My roommates--back when I had girl roommates I wasn't married to--used to find it weird when I'd leave a text on Zodiac or Charles Manson in the bathroom.

...got to destroy the door knob mechanism on my sons bedroom door.
He has a new game of shutting his door and calling for mom until one of us lets him out. Well he decided to see what the little thing was on the knob (the lock) and locked himself in. Took a few minutes, but he was in good spirits the whole time. Time for a new door lock for Jon Em. One without a locking mechanism.

I've decided I won't add any 'real friends' unless they are pure business people. I like to keep work and my personal life completely seperate--like two entirely different worlds. I've always been like that.

... got on the subway and had started to read the paper when I heard "Stop F-ing looking at me!" It came from a guy standing near where I was sitting. On the other side of the car was a transvestite. The T. then said "Are you talking to me?" The guy replies "Stop f-ing checking me out!" They exchanged some more words. The T. was (IMO) exasperating the situation a bit by saying things like "Are you interested in me?", but was still denying that he was checking the guy out. Then the guy started advancing on the T. The T. was saying something about knocking the other guy down. However the guy looked very muscular. At this point another guy in the car got up and yelled "Back off!" He then said to the guy "If you mess with him (meaning the T.), you'll mess with me and these other guys." pointing to some other men sitting nearby. He tells the muscle guy top go to the other end of the car, which muscle guy does.
I think muscle guy got off at the next stop. The T. got off the stop after that. And the intervenor had gone back to reading his book.

...am so annoyed it is not even remotely funny.
Well, I had to call my school because I got a letter in the mail telling me that I have too many credits and cannot get any kind of federal help. I do not have to come up with the money for this semester, since they "screwed up" and gave me the loan before they got all my transcripts in, they are letting it stand.
David Sopko From this point on I cannot get any loans for MCC since I have too many credits. Which, even though I have a degree, means that I am not making satisfactory academic progress. Go figure...getting a degree means nothing.
I can appeal, but she said that I have very little chance since I have so many credits. So, I need to know if I am in the program so No Worker Left Behind will cover the schooling...but I will not find that out until after the Spring semester has started.
Also, Jen has too many credits as well, so she can no longer get a pell grant to go to MCC.
There's your progress and government helping the little people.

...found out that a friend of mine from grad school whom I had not heard from in many years died last Thanksgiving.
This particular guy said one of the sweetest things anyone has ever said to me. He was straight and he knew I had a huge crush on him. He quoted Jack Nicholson's character in the movie As Good As It Gets (which had come out the previous year) and said "I'd be the luckiest man alive".
He had a lot of problems, drinking among them, and dropped out of the program before getting his degree. The last time I heard from him was by e-mail about nine years ago. He had hit bottom and was being very negative, almost abusive, in his language. I more or less told him that he knew how to get a hold of me if he could be civil. I never heard from him again. I tried to find him a few times over the years, but to no avail.
Wherever you are, my friend, I hope you are happy and at peace.

I reflexively said, "No, thanks," having long adopted a non-thinking response to any point of purchase offers, but then, as he bagged up my items, my conscious mind caught up to my instincts and thought, "Wait... what did he just say? Did he just ask me if I wanted "The Fire Monkey Special"? He couldn't have said that... could he? What on earth does that even mean?"
Admittedly, he was a bit of a mutterer, and I was only half-listening but, as I grabbed my bag and exited the store, I sort of mentally kicked myself for not asking him to repeat what he had said.
What if, for a limited time only, along with my cigarettes and Iced Tea, I could have had, at no extra cost, a genuine "Fire Monkey"? True... I don't know what that is, but damn if I wouldn't want to find out.

I've already seen the police at this house twice before and one of those times the police took away a guy. Anyway, the police got there within minutes and they were up in the apartment for about 10 minutes. After they left, it was quiet until I started typing this. I could hear the same guy yelling and swearing. Looking out my window I could see him in the hallway of the house yelling and swearing at someone on his phone. He has since driven off.

For the most part it is still a pretty good neighborhood. The neighbors right next door have quieted down. The neighbor tonight is across the street. (the police showed up again but were there for less than 5 minutes)
Plus I have a very good rent. I don't think I could find an apartment for the same price. A quick glance at apartment listing show that I could easily pay double what I am paying now.

Blue lights flashing everywhere, fire trucks, ambulances...all seemingly centered around my house! The road was blocked off, so I parked on the curb and frantically walked to my house, fearing the worst.
Turns out there was a fairly big car accident a couple doors down. It appears no one was seriously hurt.
But, my God! For a long, painful moment, I was afraid I'd lost my house or worse, my family! Thank God everyone was okay!
That that is scary. Glad everyone was okay!
Posted by Chief Taylor on :
^They really overdid it from what I could see as far as the sheer number of emergency personnel that were dispatched: at least six or seven cop cars (county and city!), 2 ambulances, 2 firetrucks and a truck with a huge lighting thingy on it!
Like I said, the two vehicles involved were really messed up, but all I saw of the people involved were a handful of teenagers or college-age types huddled nearby smiling and gabbing away. The ambulances were dark inside and in no hurry to leave, so I don't think anyone was being seriously treated. Oddly enough, the tow trucks hadn't arrived yet. Best guess, since it was away from where two streets intersect (a more logical place for this to happen) was that one car hit another as it pulled out of a driveway.
Once I got clearance to park in my driveway, I stayed inside and didn't gawk anymore or even look out the windows. The only evidence left today is some grit/sand or whatever which had been poured over where various car fluids had leaked out.

A similar incident when I was 6yo has left me with a scar on my chin, because we did stand outside and gawk. After it was all over, walking back into my house, I tripped and fell, splitting my chin.
Today, I reminisced

i have heard of people just throwing them away ... but i'm too chicken, i would be the one person they tried to make an example out of, hunt down, and prosecute.
i wouldn't have such a bad attitude if it wasn't such a horrible experience in l.a. i used to be a good citizen.
they tell you to arrive at 730 for jury duty, and their frickin employees dont arrive until 9! so you wait all that time.

I don't know how they handle it in your state, but Massachusetts has a one day/one trial deal. Basically, if you are not picked for an actual trial, you only have to serve that one day. If you do get picked, you only have that trial, no other. You're in Califoria, right? They also have the one day/one trial system.
I've been called several ties and only once was I almost seated on the jury.
But this January, I have grand jury duty. Acording to the info they provided, 45-60 people show up and 23 are chosen for the grand jury. If chosen, I'll be serving for 3 months.

Was productive:
1) Cleaned the house top to bottom;
2) Caught all the laundry up;
3) Made a Target run, got the usual stuff plus new kitchen towels and wash cloths, and paper plates and napkins for an upcoming party;
4) Got the grocery shopping done;
5) Ran all the wine glasses and martini glasses through the dishwasher;
6) Cleaned out the cabinet above the cupboard;
7) Cleaned and organized the cabinet under the sink - now it just has cleaning supplies - garden supplies and tools are back in the garage where they belong.
8) Cleaned out the junk drawer;
9) Made a pot of chili;
10) Took the dogs for a walk;
11) Read some Wonder Woman comics; and
12) Balanced the check book.

The Sid has never consumed a lip balm, but that's probably only because he hasn't figured out how to bite through the casing yet.
