Just a quick reminder of several that there's a special 'hidden' Olympic section in Google News.

This way, I can keep up with curling, and Pete Fenson. Hooray!

I get to go spend a day with an old friend in the near future.

The problem is, the old friend smokes like a chimbley, and then after I see that old friend I have a business meeting.

I'm thinking of just bringing a change of clothing and a big mofo of a Ziploc to put the stinkies in.

And no, he won't refrain from smoking even if I bother to ask, which I no longer do because he's one of those completely self-involved smokers around whom the world revolves. Twenty years ago, he blew a lung-load of smoke into my face after a boff, and when I dared to turn away and cough, he actually accused me of 'not accepting my smoking'.

No, what I don't accept is when anyone forces me to also smoke. So yeah, I will just bring a spare set of duds and change in the bathroom right before we depart.

Anybody got other ideas? Sure willing to consider them.:-)

John and I are planning to see the movie "Pirate Radio" in the near future.

This just looks like it's going to be a fun movie to watch and an even more fun movie to listen to.

For some reason, the phrase "Pretty maids all in a row" popped into my head when I read this story.

I just found some shredded cheese in the fridge that's going to be used up on absolutely nothing before the expiration date looms, so I'm going to go from here to the kitchen and make cheese chips.

This is my favorite thing to do with cheese, because half the time, it sets off the smoke alarm.

So, yeah, if it goes off right now, after midnight pacific? Par TAY.

That's it. Have a safe and lucky Friday the 13th.
