Sigh.
Some days are like that.
I hate [...]

I was at Coffeetopia this morning, and my computer was plugged into the wall right next to some guy at a table. I didn’t want him to think I was reaching for him or scare him or anything, when I was only going to unplug the computer. So what did I say? “Excuse me. I’m [...]

I answered, “No.”
She said, “Is she available?”
I said, “Yes.”
Slight pause and then, “May I speak with her?” [...]

Jameson is, I’m guessing close to boarding the plane for LA. From there he goes to Hawaii. Poor boy, eh? Boring, boring Hawaii. I stuck around for a while, and it was a good thing I did; one of the students was going to take his guitar, but it turned out that there wouldn’t be [...]

I was reading an article about an orchestra. But that’s not the interesting part. What I liked was one player’s last name: Whynot.
Isn’t that a cool name? :-)
I was able to yak a bit with Brandon today, as we were figuring out his taxes. The guy is living at poverty level (well, BELOW poverty [...]
