  • Holiday Cards I'm bumping this up in case anyone else wants one. It seems like I sent out a lot more last year. I'm still putting my holiday card list together, so if you would like to receive a card from me, jus…

  • I just got back from seeing Walk the Line, and...wow. It's not without flaws, but wow. Not to take anything away from Joaquin Phoenix, who was phenomenal as Johnny Cash, but Reese Witherspoon is brilliant in this fil…

  • Office Oddity #7

    You all are prolific today! And I'm too busy to read this morning. Anyway, here's your Oddity, though it may not technicall be an Office Oddity, it's Mr. S-related. One thing that drives me nuts about Mr. S is that…

  • I haven't pulled out the good ol' Mr. S Lexicon in a while. I was keeping a list of new words but I've misplaced it, so I only have one update for now. Since there are so many new subscribers since the last time I pos…

  • On Vacuuming Papers There's a bit of confusion on the "vacuuming papers" project I've been doing for Mr. S. I think some of the confusion comes from that fact that some people thought my entry the other day (check …

  • So, yesterday I said that the fight between Mr. and The Shrew was a "he said, she said" kind of thing, and that Mr. S wanted me to talk with The Shrew about why she was wrong. I didn't talk to her. I have no idea w…

  • I'm going back over to Mr. S's house today for more outdoor work. Mr. S and The Shrew had a huge fight yesterday. Now Mr. S wants me to tell The Shrew what she did wrong. I'm not going to do it. He's already told h…

  • I'd love it if you'd vote for my blog for the funniest at Popublog. You can vote every day and they have new prizes every month, or something. So it's not too late. Or, enter your blog in one of the categories! I c…

  • Now It Can Be Told First of all, ArtG was the only one who took the Mr. S Challenge, so go give him some love. He did a fabulous job, and was actually sooo close on the "PT" and "T." Second, I'd love it if you'd vo…

  • We had Alex's soccer party tonight, after having her last game this morning in the freezing cold (at 8--so we had to get up at 6:30). If you're new here, you can read back a bit to find a couple of posts on the giant …

  • Office Oddity #6 Actual phone conversation, just now: Mr. S: Joe should be calling soon. [phone rings] Me: (looking at caller ID) He's calling right now. Mr. S: Boy, that caller ID is a nice feature. Me: Y…

  • I'm bumping this up so that everyone sees it, but please look at the previous entry about Nixon calling from the grave. Seriously, don't miss that one. Also, I'll make an official entry of your responses, but for no…

  • Sometimes I think that maybe Mr. S reads my blog and keeps feeding me material because he thinks it's funny. Or that I'm involved in some sort of secret psychology experiment. Or, as many of you have suggested, a hidd…

  • Damn the Good Weather Jeebus, I have to go to Mr. S's and help with some outdoor project. Joy. Because it's not raining for the first time in 14,922 days, this is how I will spend my afternoon. Should make for so…

  • I'm actually not ignoring my blog as much as it may seem. I've been busy. I added another night of tennis (only for one more week, though, then it ends). I've been reading like a fiend, and now, for whatever reason, a…
