Oh, Joy!
Just noticed it’s supposed to be 99F on Saturday. Who says you need to die to go to hell? I am doing one of these annoying blankety updates because… well, I don’t get around to this much and then when … Continue reading
Small Parts, Choking Hazard
Some people resolve to write more. Not me. I know that I’m doing pretty well at this point (one way or another) if I manage to update this once a month. So a lot of stray thoughts here. We had … Continue reading
Not Even a Cricket…
It’s been a long time for a lot of things, not just since I updated here. This past weekend, dammit, Mr. Shoe and I trekked up to New Hampshire and visited my parental units. It has been an embarrassingly … Continue reading
Rewriting the Dictionary

Controlled Vocabulary
The library science world has a lot of bad ass sounding terms: controlled vocabulary, authority control… Most of these bad ass terms embody the idea that information and the language used to describe and relay it, in order to be … Continue reading
Well, Yay
Penny has some news. Not only is the cast off (the bandana was off real quick), she is officially rid of a tumor that was essentially benign, normal looking mast cells. Nothing looked suspicious or nasty (though I think the … Continue reading
I Stand By My Previous Statement…
Because the cardiologist was pretty confident breathing difficulties would mess up my cardiac stress test, and that would yield less than reliable output, I had to do that injectable crap. Now, it was short lived, but massively unpleasant. The cardiopulmonary … Continue reading
