Skating By

Had a busy weekend …

Godson’s birthday party … Grocery shopping … Cleaned out and organized the writing office (3 + hours) … Boxed up close to a hundred used books, by subject … Hit the library, the bank, and Blinkey’s with Patch and Little One, in the rain no less … Did three loads of laundry … Balanced the checkbook and paid the bills – a roof stays over our head for another month … Put away a little over 60 pages in A Game of Thrones … Skimmed another JFK book (the mafia did it in this one) … Got my hippy hair chopped off … Underwent some strange self-analysis … Listened to Poulenc, Borodin, Jethro Tull, Pete Townsend, and Galactic Cowboys … Watched the Giants and Jets lose … Cleaned up after and yelled at a one and a five year old every ten minutes (nobody told me this is all parents seem to do) … Drained and filled the boiler so we now have heat … And actually ate very well the past couple of days.

Some interesting posts this week, but at the moment I’m pressed for time. It’s C’s birthday today and we also have our first parent-teacher conference ever. Time’s skating by so, so fast but I think I’m finally getting a grip on it.

What’s on the horizon?

* A pre-review of A Game of Thrones

* Why JFK’s limo slowed when the gunfire began

* Philosopher Fantasy Baseball

* The story of the Furrowed Brow (a.k.a. The Hairy Eyeball)

* A child’s parable

* Solipsism 101

* My rival, the sweaty Frenchman

And much more!

Later!
