This week, Coldington has become Tepidville. I’ve been watching the river every morning and it has frozen and thawed more times in the last four months than I can count, but I think this time it’s open for good. Or at least the next seven months. The bay is full of mini ice burgs, white […]
After much nagging (and then enlisting Mopie as a hired gun to do additional badgering) Esteban went into the doctor and got his blood tested. The results are good. He’s up two full points since the transfusions, which means that the change to his medications (and the horse’s dose of iron he’s taking, in addition […]
Sometimes, I get stuck on weird mental tangents. Like, I go off on a style of architecture or lose my shit over the footage of the live giant squid and then do a bunch of research on whatever it is, sifting through dry as toast medical journals or historical primary sources until I lose interest […]

I have to say, I am so proud of my senator, Russ Feingold. I’m about to be all left wing political for a moment. Skip ahead to the next section if you hate that stuff. I even am proud to be able to say ‘my senator Russ Feingold’. Yeah, I voted for him. If you […]
Pig Chase : While Ian was here, he invented a drinking game to be played during Karaoke Revolution. If you choose the County Fair venue, there is a large pig-shaped balloon floating in the background, stamped with the words ‘Pig Chase’. The rules of the game are as follows: every time you see the Pig […]
wearing sun glasses. Hit it! It’s amazing how a week away from home can run together, despite the absence of daily routines to homogenize each day. The only working day that stands out was Thursday, because I was as jumpy as a blonde slutty girl in a horror movie. I had purposely kept Wednesday night […]
I am once again in Shermer Illinois. Y’all got a lot of geese here, man. Seriously. What’s with the geese? Already there are two marked differences between this trip and last trip. First of all, I’m staying in a hotel with free wireless internet. It’s closer to my office (and also Starbucks) and still gives […]

Awhile back, I started using Aveda’s Blue Oil. I don’t know why, really, because I generally dislike things that don’t say what they are. Although, really, it’s blue and it’s oil. However, when it became one of my favorite parts of my monthly facials (insert Esteban saying ‘heh heh’ facial’ here), the part where Emme […]
This morning, while leaving my daily voicemail greeting, I had to seriously suppress the urge to say ‘Hello, my name is Indigo Montoya. Today is Thursday, March 2 and I will be in the office all day. At the sound of the beep, please leave a message and also please prepare to die.’ I suspect […]
