Posted on 8/30/2005 by Roger

I found out something very disturbing last week. Normally, in the past, if I put outgoing mail in my mailbox and put the flag up then the mailperson comes along throughout the day and picks my mail up to be … Continue reading →

State of Mainers

Posted on 8/28/2005 by Roger

On Wednesday night while leaving work, I was stopped by a somewhat elderly lady who wanted to talk to someone who would listen. Some might call elderly people like this “crazy”, but I don’t believe for a second that this … Continue reading →

On Wednesday night, due to circumstances that will be shared later, I was home shortly after 7 PM when a friend called who I had not heard from in a long time. For quite a few months I had been … Continue reading →

Am I Really This Boring?

Posted on 8/25/2005 by Roger

Yes and no. I would say that I probably am always this boring, and am probably only the slightest bit interesting or entertaining or funny in my own mind. As far as going a couple days without posting, though, I … Continue reading →

We’re Back and Diet Starts Today

Posted on 8/22/2005 by Roger

We made it back safe and sound from the wild lands of New Hampshire. There are nothing but uncivilized Massachusettians as far as the eye can see. That really damages the value of land in NH. 🙂 The ladies I … Continue reading →

Now Running 1.5.2

Posted on 8/18/2005 by Roger

After I horribly messed up the upgrade somehow and have rebuilt my side menu (though I’m still waiting for Eric to put my Calendar back in). I like the new colors of my menu. Very monkey-ish. :patselfonback: I’m also waiting … Continue reading →

*Dang, Firk, Blast*

Posted on 8/17/2005 by Roger

Last night I upgraded to 1.5.2 the same exact way that I upgraded to 1.5.1.3, however my body, if you will, seems to have rejected the transplant. I swear I didn’t touch or overwrite the files that had my theme, … Continue reading →

Posted on 8/16/2005 by Roger

Today was an odd work day for me. I arrived at work early so I could be seen in Walk-In Care for my left eye which has been driving me crazy since Sunday morning. It itches and allergy drops don’t … Continue reading →

Those Things You Put Off

Posted on 8/15/2005 by Roger

You know all those things you put off doing so that you can hop on the computer for a “few minutes”? I’m going to do a bunch of those things tonight. See you all later,

Nature Walk

Posted on 8/9/2005 by Roger

Yesterday, in the middle of the day, I was warned that after work we were going for a walk. My heart skipped a beat. A walk? Can my body handle such a thing? All I’m good for these days is … Continue reading →

Posted on 8/7/2005 by Roger

Since Geof in his Blogathon posted a picture of his computer desk it reminded me that I’ve wanted to post some more pictures of my house, outside and inside. Here are my computer desks (note the plural) as of just … Continue reading →

About that Real World…

Posted on 8/6/2005 by Roger

I wonder what it’s like to be the rainmaker. I wonder what it’s like to know that I made the rain. I’d store it in boxes with little yellow tags on every one, and you can come and see them … Continue reading →

RSS Problems

Posted on 8/4/2005 by Roger

Apparently the upgrade from WordPress 1.2 to 1.5 oh so long ago caused some RSS problems, so people looking for my feed have been disappointed to see it not available. I’m working on backing up my site and then upgrading … Continue reading →

Iced Tea Confession

Posted on 8/4/2005 by Roger

I must confess, though my friends end up shunning me, I do like iced tea mix more than any kind of sweet tea I’ve had. The “cold tea” taste of sweet tea just does not do it for me. I … Continue reading →
