There is nothing to read here. The content is over there, to your right.
I may, however, at some point, put something here. Some day. Eventually. No pressure.

Life has returned to routine and I'm happier for it.
Manling started grade 9 at the high school and aside from some hair-pulling over the bloody bus schedule, he seems fine. No froshing, no bullies, no bad cafeteria food to report.
He joined band and is learning how to play the alto sax. Just ducky. His little sister is learning to play the mildly cooler bass guitar. I have a preference for the bass if simply because when she hooks that beast up to the amp for practice, she can also, and this is key, plug in the headphones so ONLY she can hear. Muting the sax is not so easy.
Ah well, I don't mind all that much. At least the bastards have quit making fun of me when I plunk away at Ruby, my six-stringed fingertip-eating whore of a guitar.
Said-Out-Loud:
"Oh please.. the only way there'll ever be applause coming from my bedroom is if I attach the Clapper to my vibrator."
Overheard:
"He's a Renaissance man."
"Good at everything? Scientific and artistic?"
"No - he's really old and likes to wear a lot of lace."
"Oh."
Autumn approaches. (Hell, it's not so much approaching as stomping in with army boots.) Our morning temperatures have consistently been below zero for the last week. Rainy, cloudy. Leaves are turning and falling. Brr.
You know I love it.
So yeah, I could use one last warm day to finish the fall yard work but then that's it - bring on the snow!!
Booyaaahh....
Just to piss him off, I casually mentioned that "To boldly go where no man has gone before" is a split infinitive.
Yes, I criticized his god's grammar skills.
"It should be 'To go boldly where no man has gone before'. Anyone with a grade seven education could tell you that. Gene was obviously a hack."
"You're a ... I dunno, nitpicking bitch."
"I think the word you were searching for is pedantic. 'You're a ... I dunno, pedantic bitch' works well in this case."
"You do this just to piss me off, don't you?"
"Yes. Pretty much. Want some tea?"
"If it gets you to boldly leave the room, then yeah."
"To leave bol.."
"Shut the fuck up. Tea would be nice, thanks."
