Overhearing a lunch order at work

co-worker was calling in an order for lunch. I am guessing that this might be the same place that has the Kluckmeister. So, on the order was a Name That Tuna (okay, kitschy, but a fun idea) and a Hindenburger. Seriously? Naming a product for a well-known tragic disaster? My first image suggests . . . → Read More: Overhearing a lunch order at work

Meeting with my State Rep

I just met with Rep. Flo Fabrizio, who is my representative in the Pennsylvania State Assembly about House Bill 745 (which would add sexual orientation and gender identity to the hate crimes law that has already been in place for years) and House Bill 300 (which would add sexual orientation and gender identity/expression to . . . → Read More: Meeting with my State Rep

Overheard at work

One of the other programmers at work was talking with an intern. The programmer said something to the effect of “Truth to tell, most things that you will be doing are probably going to be pretty boring.” I guffawed and remarked that was undoubtedly why X is not writing any motivational literature.

Made it through the Severely Queer Weekend

This past weekend was pretty booked for me. I went to Ashtabula on Saturday for the Ashtabula GLBT Outreach Alliance picnic, which was very nice. I had some barriers getting out the door – all of the rechargeable batteries for my camera seem to have died, and the holder for the GPS seems to . . . → Read More: Made it through the Severely Queer Weekend

Election re-do went fairly well

I was more than a tad apprehensive tonight as the Erie County Democratic Party had to redo the election of officers because of an issue from the meeting last month. The meeting last month didn’t go so well, and I was worried about another 3 hours of excruciating agony. In general, I hate anything . . . → Read More: Election re-do went fairly well

Fun at the dentist’s

I had forgotten that I had a dental checkup today. When I got to the dental office, I noticed that they were remodeling. As they were about to put on the lead apron to take X-rays, I heard a loud drill sound, which was from remodeling. I joked that might make someone nervous. (Hygienist: . . . → Read More: Fun at the dentist’s

Hanging out at Greek Fest

I probably spent way too much time on geek stuff today, and figured it would be good to leave the house and interact with other human beings. (Call me crazy.)  John and Paula were going to Greek Fest with Paula’s parents and her sister/brother-in-law. Lisa and Dom also showed up. So, I headed over . . . → Read More: Hanging out at Greek Fest

Moved to WordPress

I have been doing a fair amount of computer geek stuff of late. I noticed that the new WordPress 3.0 is out, so I thought I would give it a whirl. I believe that I have the guts pretty much okay.

An oddly happy sound

I was being rather neurotic about the E-collar that Heracles has to wear to prevent him from scratching or irritating his ear. When he came home yesterday, he didn’t drink or eat that I could see, but he was also probably groggy from the surgery. I fretted that he wouldn’t be able to get . . . → Read More: An oddly happy sound

Feeling pretty much like the worst daddy in the world

I screwed up big time late last night. My dog Heracles had some matted fur behind his ears, and I was working to trim it away, and he yelped. It turns out that I cut his ear pretty badly. He’s going to be okay, and I took him to the emergency pet center this . . . → Read More: Feeling pretty much like the worst daddy in the world
