I’m Not Immature, I’m a Brainiac

Wednesday, October 31st, 2007

Yesterday at work, a co-worker was telling us about a book he’s reading by Michael Chriton (did I spell that right?) Apparently Chriton includes a lot of genetics in the book (the way he included a lot about nanotechnology in “Prey,” one presumes) and he made reference to a maturity gene. The maturity gene, it [...]

Radio Memories

Monday, October 29th, 2007

After reading that I was missing the music of Froggy 101, Moose, of all unlikely people had a great idea: the Froggy Country Club. I can listen to Froggy while write and do housework. How cool is that? So, for the last couple of weekdays, I’ve been listening to Froggy in the morning. It’s strange [...]

I Better Get Blogging

Saturday, October 27th, 2007

After this notice, I figure it’s time for me to do a short update: Christine and I are in perfect health and are enjoying the beginning of the weekend. Our biggest goal for the weekend is to breakfast alot (maybe twice a day) and possibly go to a games-bar, where you can borrow games to [...]

NEVER Sleep In!!

Thursday, October 25th, 2007

So, I made a mistake today: I slept in. Only until eight o’clock, but you’re talking to someone who’s been getting used to six o’clock mornings, and eight o’clock represents a serious departure from the norm. But do you know what happens when you sleep in? You get lazy, or I do. And it makes [...]

Check your Email!!

Thursday, October 25th, 2007

Greetings, faithful readers!! (Okay, so only two people have told me that they still read my site.) Anyway, I’ve sent out a mass email, and, instead of posting it here like I used to on the old blog, I’ve decided to maintain a certain degree of discretion in my ‘public life.’ So, if you want [...]

Run with Toby!

Friday, October 19th, 2007

Believe it or not, as rarely as I update this blog, I’ve started another that I plan to update even less often. It’s mostly for me–and a little bit to brag to Ella about jogging distances. It’s a blog where I’ve joined a Google Map to a blog and well, it’s supposed to show you [...]

Toby and Technology

Thursday, October 18th, 2007

I have this line to credit to Kichline in an email. I thought dad would like it: i noticed that you were on face book, i thought you gave up technology(judging by your disdain for hair clipper, nice hair by the way). Isn’t that great? Someday, I hope that I can write characters with as [...]

Why I’m Anti-Union

Wednesday, October 17th, 2007

Back when the train drivers here started threatening to strike, my publicly financed radio station did a special on the job of train driver. A big part ofthe job was just staying awake–the driver who was accompanied by the DJ spent most of his time waiting for light on the control panel to light up, [...]

The Little Toby That Could

Thursday, October 11th, 2007

One of the nice things that came of Ella’s visit was that she and I would competitively jog. And, even better, that we were pretty evenly matched. I–of course–maintain that I ‘won’ more of our runs than she did, but she might claim something else if you were to speak to her. But, I’ve been [...]

The Productivity Virus

Thursday, October 11th, 2007

My Boss, Bob, tells me I need to update my blog. And I suppose it has been a while. But, to be honest, since I quit the ‘old,’ crazy blog, I haven’t made blogging much of a priority. I’ve tried to focus more on writing emails to the people who email back, and spending my [...]
