Racquetball Class Is over. I may take it again sometime soon. I did well, and got good workouts. My ankle still hurts but has improved. Work is fine. Preparations continue apace for Christmastime. Found some older mouse droppings the other night. Bas smelled them, and with luck is primed to take action should he find the creators...

Snapshots of the Yuletide season I gave blood today. next time I give blood I’ll drink more beforehand. I’m still loving Quicksilver. I have purchased some Christmas gifts. I have more to purchase. Going to Mass tonight. Going shopping tonight. I’m wearing an ankle brace. The weekend was great — Leah and I had her kids. The cat is slowly...

News of the Day Aljazeera.Net – Saddam Hussein captured has the best coverage at the moment of giving the full story. CNN (on TV) had President Bush giving a speech, but little in full details of how he was captured, and the context of same.

It makes me wonder if wearing really heavy shoes would be an interesting discipline while training. It was good to play,...

Hurrumph Lots to say. Much stuff happening. Wait for the weekend for more info. Here’s a word I didn’t know much about before I started reading Quicksilver: papist. No really, more this weekend.

Good Newsletter M-THEORY MUSIC does a nice job with their online newsletter. I don’t think it’s on the web, but it’s a nice personal flavorful bunch of nuggets of opinion, new music, and local flavor. Kudos to them. And if you’re in San Diego, you should check ’em out.

Some Links For A Sunday Morning My sister sent me the link for videos from The Darkness. She said: “Watch the video for I Believe in a Thing Called Love. It’s amazing.”. I have. She’s right. Unashamed 70’s Power Pop. Reminds me of Queen’s Bohemian Rhapsody merged with the Beastie Boys’ Intergalactic. A plugin for PGP for Mail.app: GPGMail I’m alarmed...

My First Cease And Desist: 1997 My first and only cease and desist letter was some time back. When I got this GTM had been defunct for some time. Never mind that I had had a verbal agreement with my supervisor at GTM for permission to show the logo as part of my portfolio online. They gave me “fine” business days...
