Hello. Mundane Monday. Be good to me. Time for the ceremonial coffee.

Anyone do anything nefarious this weekend?

Back in my day Wang computers were a thing.

Good morning. It’s pouring rain. I guess I’ll try baking cupcakes again. Time for the ceremonial coffee.

Hm. What about Beautyberry mead? That sounds doable. #mead #brewing

If you’re working this weekend, question your life choices.

The Gathering: The latest new (yes, that’s redundant) member of The Gathering. He’s at the deck door staring in now. I’m calling him Tux. He’s started to become a regular. I’m not sure what it is about this house/me, but all the animals (mostly cats and kittens) show up …

Greetings. It’s the weekend. Let your little kid out. You have no reason to be your normal surly self on weekends. Do something fun. Time for the ceremonial coffee.

The Gathering: Two more of Mote’s kittens have gone under the knife and are back home in isolation for a few days. Four to go. #kitten

Most memorable music concert? I’ve been to a few.. — Chicago at the Compaq Tandem acquisition — Paul McCartney at HP/Tandem Connect — Pat Benatar at the Spectrum in Phila. — Fine Young Cannibals in Montreal with good friends. Yes, I’m showing my age. #music

Often heard: “I’d love to write a book…” Me: “That’s ok. I’ve lived your dream/nightmare.” Or Often heard: “I have a book idea.” Me: “Sorry, my queue is full.” Or Often heard: “I don’t like that type of book.” Me: “I’m so sorry that your life is so limited.” .~ #writing

Back in my day, cackling was the purview of evil witches. So, either we have a lot of evil witches–probably not– or a lot of wannabes.
