No time to really post, sorry...
I'm fine...
Life is okay...
My wife is home in DAYS!
YAY!

Seriously...
Hi folks...
That's right folks... It's "Black Friday" as coined by retailers. The day after Thanksgiving, statistically the biggest shopping day of the year in the US. The term "Black Friday" is either the owner's of retail places term for the first day that retailers go from being unprofitable or "in the red" to profitable or "in the black."
Greetings to yet another day from Minnesota!
I didn't want to get out of bed today. I mean, I was awake but the idea of exposing my skin to the ambient air-temp in my bedroom was just way too daunting this morning.
Okay, this isn't a typical "blog" test, it's a "real" test that you can take on the internet here: (Belief-o-matic)
I've just finished reading the Sunday newspaper.
As I'm heading out to pick up the printed photos from my wedding. That's right... My wonderful Mother, bemoaning the fact that all the photos are "digital" and that she hates having to look at them on a computer, has paid for me to get two sets of 169photos printed at Ritz Camera. I'm all for it. I like having things to hold onto as well... And this way, My Lady and I can do the "typical wedding album" thing. Cute no? And you all thought I was completely caught up in the "digital photo" world!
And people in high school used to pick on me.
It's raining outside, today. And it's cold. 38°F or about 3°C. Not very comfortable. We're all waiting for it to get below freezing, and actually start snowing.
Don't have a tonne of time today, and I've been ranting a bit more than normal.
Greetings on this fine Sunday!
There's been this on-going discussion over at my friend N8's site, HERE. (Before you click it, realise that it's a very LONG discussion, but definitely a "must read")
Rob, thanks for this photo. And I can't think of a better way to start out the blog today than with this marvellous image:
Folks, I've been trying to update this damn thing for days now... And my connection AND Safari keep crashing mid-way through. So... If you're reading this, it finally worked. If you're not, I'm picking up my laptop and tossing it out the window.
I'm serious... There's something extraordinarily great about sitting down with a big mug of coffee, a few fags, and the Sunday paper. You get all sorts of ads that you have to get through, but beyond that... The newspaper usually tries to do a really great job at not only giving you the news of the weekend, but also summing up the news of the past week. At times, they are able to draw NEW conclusions to older stories, simply by going back and looking at the story in a new "complete" sort of way.
Um...
I'm a bit crazy today, so you'll have to just live with the fact that I'm not gonna write much. Sorry.
First, I'd like to point out that participating in the NaNoWriMo month of November, attempting to write a 50,000 word "novel" in 30 days is definitely the most insane thing I've ever tried to do. But I'm almost to the 3000 word mark, it's only the beginning of the second day, and, heck... It's sort of fun.
Well, HRH Prince Charles is here. (Yanks, that means "his royal highness") And all of us on this side of the pond are just "jumping for joy" at the chance to see Price Charles and Camilla (no longer Parker-Bowels) Duchess of Cornwall.
