back in the saddle
Nov. 10th, 2006 10:46 pm1) I'm working my connections like a Cisco box on crack, baby.
2) Recent events have reminded me of my maternal grandfather, whom everybody -- even his grandchildren -- called Joe. He used to own a small coal mine near his home in the Blue Ridge mountains. Life was good until bigger competitors drove him out of business in the late '40s. Joe Did What He Had To Do and started what became a succession of small businesses, which allowed him to send my mother to college. He made what I'm going through look pretty easy, and he deserves some of the credit for that.
3) Front-loading washers aren't all that good for dyeing fabric. I think that's because you can't control the water level, at least not in mine. I have a big pot of water heating on my stove as I type.
4) I'm very, very ready for a pah-tay. OK, OK, no more pimping.
