From the Monday Night Football booth:
"You got to put your boots on. Get out of bed every morning. Do it one at a time."
Do I have to? Really? In that order?
They gave me a PT Cruiser this week.
I love it when squirrels do this with their paws. SO! FREAKING! CUTE!
I soloed today! It was a weird feeling to have my instructor get out of the plane. I sat there for a second thinking, "What do I do now?"
I did three sloppy touch-and-gos, with the last one being the closest to acceptable. I'm still getting the feeling of when the plane has bled off enough speed to start the flare. I either start too early and the plane balloons, or I start too late and I've already landed. But hey. Good day!
Are you a morning person or a night owl?
I don't know. I always thought I was a night owl, but my schedule has changed and I haven't been voluntarily awake after 11 in a long time. It's nice getting some work done in the morning before the daily deluge of email starts.

I can name that tune in one word, Bill: Dicewars.
When I first started dating Fey, her apartment was on this little protected one block street in Hyde Park with a center boulevard full of trees and bushes. Out her kitchen window was The Squirrel Tree. Squirrels would scamper up and down it. They would sit on a nice accessible branch and eat their acorns.
When we moved in together, the dominant wildlife influence was the horrible, horrible squawking monk parakeets in their giant tenements on top of every lightpole. I'm pretty sure their diet was chipmonks and happiness. Every morning at 6, they'd start with their SQUAWK SQUAWK EEEEE SQUAWK KILL YOURSELF SQUAWK! We fantasized about releasing snakes.
So, anyway, now we're in a house with a backyard. We didn't want to get our hopes up about the local wildlife after the last disappointment, but so far we've seen a bunch of rabbits and chipmonks and, finally today, a squirrel close by. He was sitting on the garage roof about two feet from the window at the top of the staircase, staring at me.
Do you want to get out of bed two at a time? I don't think so. read more
