There are many advantages to a home office: Short commute, no gas costs, no traffic jams, a comfortable work environment, no pants . . . Unfortunately, there are also disadvantages. The refrigerator is only a short walk away. It is easy to forget to shower, or even get dressed for the day. Six dogs in a small house inevitably leads to the overwhelming aroma of dog flatulence . . . Read all »
Anyone out there like bacon? How about chocolate? Cheesecake? If you answered YES!!! to all three, you need to try the bacon-walnut cheesecake at Luke’s Joint in Arcata. I’ve seen Luke’s on the Plaza for a while now, but haven’t gone in, thinking it was just another barbeque place. While yes, they do serve awesome barbeque, they are anything but “just another” barbeque place. The food is delicious, and I am going back to my take-home slice of cheesecake. Goodbye.
p.s. — don’t forget to take me with you if you go!

This past week brought us two new lambs, one from Bonnie-Bell and one from Vally. The first is a tiny little ram lamb, seen in the following pictures with some other nosy little lamb (whose name, or at least lineage, I’d tell you if I could remember it at the moment). For now, we are calling him Patrick Cabbage. Read all »
Another lamb popped out today. As with the last, I need to get pictures up. Life keeps getting in the way of posting cuteness . . .
I promised some lamb videos a few days (weeks?) ago, and never followed through. Here it is, finally. I want to edit it down a bit, but that requires too much effort for a sunny Saturday morning where I still have to finish stretching and walk to the beach. Enjoy. Or not. Read all »
The spammers are hard at work, trying to get me to post their links. At least a few go through the effort to try to sound relevant to the subject. For my post yesterday, I got the following: “happy st patricks day! Wear green, eat four leaf clovers, and prance around sprinkling lucky charms on people.” Thanks, random spammer who has been trying to get me to link to a site selling laptop batteries!
I am almost 2 hours late starting, but the corned beef is now cooking. Potatoes, carrots and cabbage will come later. Maybe our impending radioactive cloud will cause the beer to glow green and we will be ultra-authentic! There’s no cooking quite like nuclear cooking.
Starfish at low tide says "Relax, dummy!"
When I was growing up, General Electric claimed “We Bring Good Things To Life.” Sometime in the last decade or so, they must have accepted that this is not always so, as now they offer “imagination at work.” So, does providing a risky containment field count as “imagination at work” or as “bring(ing) good things to life”? Either way, I would have thought that forty years would be enough time for GE to focus a little less on imagination and a little more on reality. And to maybe consider that risking bringing an end to lives, good or otherwise, might not be such a good thing. (pssst! There’s a NAUGHTY WORD later in this post (although in all fairness, it is balanced out by being attached to a picture of kittens), so don’t click on the continue link if you are offended by NAUGHTY WORDS!!!!!!!1!!!ONE!!!ELEVENTY!!!
