While I have very little to say this week, I will say today is a splendid day for Vesta has a new set up.

Some highlights from the weekend:

For the first time in almost 12 years, I received a speeding ticket. While the last one was $56 (four points) for doing 76 in a 65 (US 40 outside Granby), this one is $120 for doing 78 in a 65 (Ohio Turnpike). Such a splendid stop. The trooper was out of the car before I could get my window...

It was Monday in Redford. Baked Potato Night. I had been home for almost two hours when the beeping of my oven echoed through the house. The potatoes were ready.

I opened the oven door, fork in hand. Those potatoes sure looked good. As was standard operating procedure, I poked each potato with a fork both to remove the potato from the oven as well...

I have a feral cat problem. There are at least four felines who caterwaul outside my window every night. I think the local tom sprayed my stoop too since it smells like cat piss near my mailbox.

I do not like cats.

I found Vault Red Blitz in cans today. I am happy.

Beyond that, not much else to report from my first week back at work. Yay.

In a feverish bit of weakness during my recent battle with self-induced food poisoning, I fell into the Facebook quagmire.

Yes, I am ashamed at my lack of fortitude. This makes four social sites I regularly update.

In other news, it's bedtime. Two more working days until my first, honest, after-work weekend of 2009.

While the Extravaganza was a bang-up, rockin' good time (see margate or Dryad for details), I do have one over-arching question: What the hell did I eat that gave/is giving my guts such terrible fits?

I think it was either the reuben at the restaurant or the apples for lunch. I'm leaning towards the apples since my stomach did a slow, extended roll shortly after...

With my remaining two days of freedom, one question rises to the top of my mind: Can I justify splurging on both Minuscule and The Sweeney? Of course, this one question begets several others.

Is it worth spending 33,44 for the former and 50.42 for the latter (TVA/VAT not required since I live in an enlightened, low-tax society), plus a currency conversion fee of...

First order of business after vacation: Catch up on the groups.

Second order of business: Nap.


I had a pleasant ten days in CO--even if there wasn't one bit of snow on that side of the Divide. My hometown was socked-in pretty much all week though.

I'm off to yet another snowy state in the middle of winter!

(What can I say; my vacations aren't that imaginative.)
