In Your Eyes

Even just a little Tabasco sauce stings quite a lot when you get it in your eye.

The Cat’s Meow

No, it’s not about the cat.  It’s about today: Work, followed by a book reading by three authors, a nice candlelit dinner and walk home in the rain.

Cloudburst

Let’s discuss the word “cloudburst” for a second, shall we? If you’re like most people, you haven’t ever given the word “cloudburst” much consideration, because you’re in a car or a house. But today, I was in a different situation, and I suddenly started thinking a lot about the word.

Aimee Goes AWOL

Our cat decides to disappear.  Which is more than slightly worrysome, considering that it’s 26 stories down from one of our windows, which open out at the bottom from floor level.  The architects must hate babies.

Terrorist Spam Trap Email?

OK, so can anyone explain this spam I got that seems to be meant for terrorists?  I present it here completely unedited, and I’m totally baffled by it.

Sting and Annie Lennox

I saw them in concert last night. It was a little different from the Prince concert I was at this summer.  For one thing, everyone sat politely for almost the whole show.

First Public Party

No, you haven’t been missing entries.  I added a few today and backdated them. Tonight, I went out to the Opus Hotel and refreshed myself with a little slice of Hollywood.

When Moving Sinks In

There are big signs that you’ve moved, and small signs.  One small sign hit home today. (Plus: we get our stuff from a fussy professional long-haul driver.)

Approaching Vancouver

We’re approaching Vancouver.  We’ve just made it through customs and immigration. It all went very smoothly.  In fact, the immigration officer asked us if we would build her a Web site—she wants to have an online store online in time for Christmas.

Overheard

“An unexamined life is not worth living.”

...who said it?

“BBFF (Best Bacon Friends Forever)”

...who said it?

“I find myself thinking of a checklist Wozniak wrote a few years ago describing how to become a genius. His advice was straightforward yet strangely terrible: You must clarify your goals, gain knowledge through spaced repetition, preserve health, work steadily, minimize stress, refuse interruption, and never resist sleep when tired. This should lead to radically improved intelligence and creativity. The only cost: turning your back on every convention of social life.”

...who said it?

“Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn’t do than by the ones you did. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream.”

...who said it?

“Ever have something in your teeth that you cannot stop tonguing?”

...who said it?
