I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

One of my coworkers did something that resulted in breaking links on ~300 pages of the website I manage.

I'm working from home today, so I didn't have to give myself a hernia by holding in the resulting stream of profanity. Yay?

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

I am working.....IN MY PJs!!! I also found the dish organizer for my shelves, so while waiting for work people to get back to me earlier, I put up all my everyday dishes. YAY! That is one more big dishpack box done and gone.

I was hoping to pick up a playdate for mac at 11, but the mom is not answering her phone. Both of my parents are out of pocket today, so I need something for him if I am going to get all the work done I need to.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Also my salad will only be nicoise-ish because I don't think we have capers or nicoise olives (we have some oil cured greek olives) also just canned tuna in water. Not ideal but it will have to do!

Close enough! Tasty too. My recent go-to dinner salad has been spinach with tuna and a hard boiled egg cut up. I'm always trying to find ways to give JZ enough protein in her somewhat vegetarian diet and since she eats fish and eggs, that works.

It's gotten to the grab, cold, drab, foggy portion of a San Francisco summer in my neighborhood. (It's probably quite warm still in the Mission, downtown and North Beach.)

This afternoon I'll collect Emmett and I'll throw to him at the batting cage, and then we'll do a little more BP on the field where you can better see where the ball is going. After a month of mostly no baseball he's got a schedule starting Saturday where he'll be doing a double-header a day for about ten days. He does his own wood bat now so I'm hoping we get his swing fixed.

Then I think we'll swing by the good taco truck, and hit up Bi-Rite for ice cream.

Speaking of which, megan walker was not lying about Haaden Daazs 5 Lemon ice cream. Lordy, if you like anything lemon flavored you must buy and consume this. So creamy and delish.

5. Optimus Pants
6. Chairman Meow
7. Boo Manchu
8. Watts in a Name
9. Chenoa Azure Marshmellow-Puff

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Next to those names Zorro and Squeaky Fromme are as nothing.

hangs head in name shame

Not so much. (I love it.)

As my aunt likes to say, I'm not always right, but I'm rarely wrong.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

I have always wanted to name a cat Chairman Meow, but none of mine have ever seemed like that was their name.

I did have a friend who named her dog Virginia Woof.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

I think Teppy needs this T-shirt: [link]

Well, boo. It's sold out.

Chenoa Azure Marshmellow-Puff

That's a mouthful! "Toke" is much easier.

And speaking of cats (note the graceful segue), I have one on my lap since I am home with a migraine that I think is actually a herd of miniature elephants trying to kick their way out of my skull. AWESOME.

Because books.

If we get another girl dog, I'd like to name her Kitty, I think.

hip deep in pie

I always wanted a cat named Bix Beiderbecke. Then I met the cat next door to me, named Oreo, and I soon realized that his true name was Bix Beiderbecke. His owner was very ill and they would often forget to let their cats in, so they would scratch at my window. Bix would come in, sleep and then get me to let him out at dawn. Pico didn't mind him in slightest, but wouldn't let his brother, Gary, in the house.

When his owner died, I wanted to adopt him, but I was waiting a suitable amount of time to ask, but he got adopted in the meantime. I often wonder what happened to him.
