Friday – post 11,877 not counting twitter digests.

I’m hanging in there by trying to continue writing rather than the photo a day deal. I can’t believe I’ve been doing this in varying degrees for almost 13 years.

My dream last night evaporated in the shower this morning – I think it was a good one, though.Not like I wove an amazing narrative yesterday or anything. Yesterday was mostly uneventful. Standout points were a lot of working out and eating way too many 3 musketeers bars.

Shopping for thanksgiving this weekend… we nearly went to Brian Boru for the holiday… not sure why it got sacked, but I’m easy. Goodies we’re picking up are a Quorn roast, some root veggies and the makings for lots of comfort food.

I’m continuing to cycle about 15 miles a day, and trying to walk and get legs back to comfy when it doesn’t mess with broken toe. Holding off on the swimming for now, though I might head back there soon.

Random awesome comic of the day – since we have a million of these guys cruising the neighborhood today:

By the way, Frog fractions is amazing. Really. I loved going to mars.

We have a lot of turkey vultures in this area too. They like to wheel around the bluffs just north of here, riding on thermals. They are fascinating to watch. Our local zoo has a rescue bird on display and Oscar LOVES him. He would stand there in front of it's display all day if we let him. Fortunately, he's the only kid in the world who likes turkey vultures, so he's never in anybody's way.

Turkey vultures are very cool, and gross, too. Oscar has impeccable taste! Someone has to love the uglies!

I laughed so hard at the turkey vulture cartoon that it woke Portia up and she glared at me from my lap. That cat has no sense of humor.

silly Portia! She's loved, regardless :)

You remain an inspiration, sir.

And I should think projectile vomiting to be a good defense. Maybe I'll develop that skill.

Cheers again, and thanks.
