At the Car Wash

It rained like hell today. It was my fault. The day started out fairly clear, but I went and got my car washed.

Hooray, the Bubble is About to Burst!

So, I got a call this morning from (604) 731-1182.  The fellow on the other end of the line said, “Good Morning!  I’m just calling to see if you were interested in selling your condo.” I said I didn’t own a condominium.  He said, “Oh, thank you anyway,” and hung up.

Conversation with My Blog

Travis, why don’t you post on me any more? I’m busy, Blog, I’m busy.  You should know that. Travis, how can I know that you’re busy if you don’t post on me to tell me so?  It’s not like I can call you and ask how’s it goin’? Did anyone ever tell you you’re a smartass, blog?

Coin Jar Fall Down and Go Boom

My sister Virginia blew through here today.  Technically she arrived last night, but I was so sleep addled that I didn’t get a chance to say “boo” to her until this morning. This was the last step of a multi-phased operation to get her moved back to Calgary.  She’d spent the previous week down in Portland, now she’s headed back to Calgary to settle in, at least for a while, at my Mom’s place.

Today, the Ambassador hotel was finally demolished.  Meanwhile, I was , which had mysteriously recorded for me a screening of “Deviant Vixens 2,” probably because of my love of nature documentaries. “Vixens,” however, is not about foxes at all!

A Chain-Letterish List of ‘Four’ Sets

Bloggers often get roped into passing along surveys or revealing lists or other memes.  I’ve avoided the trend entirely until today.  Why give in today?  It’s a very complex answer, but if I had to summarize it, I’d say ... it’s because no one ever included me before.

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?
