- Star Wars! Hope I can avoid spoilers for a week or ten days, because…
- …my need to interact with the outside world has begun to fade for 2015. Terrible or wonderful that such is one of my favorite things about Christmas?
- Deep Purple finally goes into the Rock ‘n’ Roll Hall of Fame next year, along with two acts who would have become good candidates for the worst snub (Cheap Trick and Chicago). So who is the worst snub now? Iron Maiden, maybe? Ronnie James Dio, who shamefully wasn’t inducted with Black Sabbath?
- Ex-Intergraphers, start getting your goodbyes ready for Buildings 20, 30, and all of the 17s. They will be assimilated. Wow, that Peoplequarium is going to be enormous.
- I just learned that Lea’s mom is getting her a Pandora charm bracelet for Christmas. This is fantastic news. In 21 years of getting Lea presents, I have never had such a reliable arena in which to operate. She’s very hard to buy for.
- Scratched my cheese straw itch. A half-teaspoon of Mongoose hot sauce added to a standard recipe produces appealing heat. Now, bring on the homemade Chex Mix!
- If the current forecast holds, I’m wearing shorts and a T-shirt in Christmas Day. I remember one year not too long ago we had our last freeze in January. Wonder if we’re headed for another winter like that?

Ah…building 17…. did several stints in A thru D. Cold in the winter, hot in the summer, and smelly year round.
Hope Lea likes her Pandora bracelet. I love mine. Pro tip: ask her to create a wish-list of charms at her favorite jewelry store. Takes all the guessing out of it for you.
I started in 17C. Then, I went to 23A. Then, I went back to 17C. Some of the details are finally getting hazy, like where I was when I worked for different people. I had four different bosses in less than five years at the ‘graph.
You have nooooooo idea how happy I am about the Pandora bracelet. Lea is just about impossible to buy for. Thank you for the tip!
I give my sister charms to reflect all the weird and terrible things that happen to her. It’s more fun that way.
That would sound horrifying if I didn’t know the two of you. 🙂
I’m still looking for a transit bus (not a London or school bus) for that time she hit one in San Antonio.
