Historical tidbit

Apparently every time in the last fifty years the House of representatives has switched parties — that is control has switched to the other party — the senate followed suit. This is not true vice versa, The senate has changed with out the house changing.

A functional Bathroom again

Well thanks to help from a friend of mine, we have restored our guest bathroom back to normal functionality after the water damage from the unit above ours.

I do not think there will a Sunday Night Movie tonight. The fresh paint fumes are splitting my head and it was all I could do to watch a movie with my sweetie-wife.

good night all

A victory

Despite a serious headache, I managed to run my D&D game successfully tonight. NO combat, but the players now dee the final shape of the end of the campaign and we’ve started to discuss the next one.

I also hate paint fumes

So, some weeks ago our condo suffered water-damage  after a large spill from the unit above ours. The last of the repairs is being completed on our guest bathroom and the paint fumes are horrid.

Just when the first round of paint fumes has died away and I had stopped getting headaches from them, they’ve gone and painted the trim on the door. No work tonight on ‘Cawdor’ as I am in too much pain for clear thinking.

An Arthritis day

For some reason my arthritis is acting up today. It made my day job fairly rough and by the end of the day my fingers were smarting quite a bit.

I did manage more editing on Cawdor, but the project is taking longer in the 1.5 draft than I had expected. Still, I am happy with the product and should have a readable version ready before the end of September.

Bloody Brilliant

When little Aiden toddled up our daughter Johanna and asked to play with her Elmo ball, he was, admittedly, very sweet and polite. I think his exact words were, “Have a ball, peas [sic]?” And I’m sure you were very proud of him for using his manners.

To be sure, I was equally proud when Johanna yelled, “No! Looter!” right in his looter face, and then only marginally less proud when she sort of shoved him

 

This is a taste of a wonderful spoof on Randian Objectivism brought to the playground. It’s well wortha  read.

Not Superstitious

So today is Friday the 13th and frankly that makes me happy. Fridays are good days in general. The weekend is kicking off, I’ll hang out with my friends and play games. The business is less busy the freeways are less congested. (There are actually fewer accidents on the road on Friday the 13th than on other days.)

So if you are huddling in a cave on this day, well that neither picks my pocket nor does it break my leg so have fun. Me? I’m going to enjoy today.
