Well, the first of my withdrawal symptoms have arrived. I am fighting extreme sleepiness (somnolence) and severe dizziness. I guess the good news is that I am starving. I’m actually hungry for the first time in months. The bad news is that I don’t feel competent to go down to the kitchen.
And a customer is pushing me to deal with a problem while I am in this state.
Porthos, elderly statescat of my home, expired overnight. It was expected, as he suffered from cancer. The hard part will be telling the girls.

I was living in a world where psi talents were known, measurable, and by law, registered. I had two such talents. One was basically lightning from my fingertips, which I was barely starting to be able to use, and the other was telepathy / mental domination. In this world, that counted as one talent.
Today Is the Ultimate Answer to the Ultimate Question of Life, The Universe, and Everything.
Today is October 10, 2010. 10/10/10. In binary, that’s 42. And 42 is The Answer to the Ultimate Question of Life, the Universe and Everything. Or at least, that’s what Douglas Adams says. …

The processing company my landlord uses to take debit card payments double charged me for this month’s rent. I contacted them, and they are going to refund the duplicate charge … Continue reading
Last night, after dinner, Kris and I played Uno with the girls. Rebeccah wasn’t feeling well, so she didn’t join in. Uno is a great game for adults to play with kids. Anyone can win, because there is a significant randomness factor to the game. As a result, the adults can play to win without fear of hurting the kids. It had been a great many years since the last time I played, and I kept getting confused on the rules. Once I did finally get them straight in my head, though, I went on to win the hand we played. We only played one hand, and yet had over 45 minutes of fun. I highly recommend this game to any grandparents looking to have fun with the grandkids.
If you haven’t seen “Hedwig and the Angry Inch” yet, drop everything and get it now. Don’t wait until it’s convenient. B and her kids introduced me to the film. It was an incredibly powerful film, but it’s not for young kids.
