Lazy Sunday

With Laurie more or less immobile due to a badly sprained ankle we enjoyed a lazy Sunday at home yesterday. The kids and I did go our for a short walk. We also built a snowman — Jack was not impressed with the results, and Millie decided she wanted to build one on her own.

First Snow

I would estimate that we had 4-5 inches of snow yesterday. It tailed off mid-evening, but the wind built drifts up overnight.

Part Two

So maybe I will post twice today.

Part One

I forgot to post yesterday.

Wiped

One of those days — I will be sound asleep 4 seconds after my head hits my pillow.

The Boy’s New Year’s Resolution Is Wearing Me Out

larry — Tue, 10 Jan 2012 02:08:08 +0000

The boy resolved to get up early every morning this year — more time to game, he figures. Anyway, he has stuck to it so far and it is wearing me out. I am dog tired tonight, so this is all I’ve got for today.

SOPA

If the SOPA legislation passes I might have to consider shutting down this blog. I do not link to pirate sites, but I would guess that about 90% of the spam comments I receive do link to those sites. My comment spam filter catches most of them, but would I be legally liable if one slipped through? On the other hand, since I only get one or two legitimate comments a year I guess I could just disable comments and the world would continue to spin on its axis.

Beginnings

larry — Sat, 07 Jan 2012 03:00:14 +0000

I wrote the shell of a pretty good political post this evening, but it is going to need to cook for a while before I click the “Publish” button. In fact I’ve written more drafts already this year than I did all of last year. That might be my new model for getting back into regular blogging. Draft, polish, draft, polish, polish, polish and publish when ready. I also hope that I find myself scrapping more material — I don’t mind writing myself down a few blind alleys as long as I keep writing.

In the meantime I will try to publish at least a couple of lines of clean prose each day.

Lazy

larry — Thu, 05 Jan 2012 12:19:18 +0000

Last night I drafted a post with some thoughts on music that I am currently listening to, but it didn’t go anywhere. I might try to flesh it out later.

Cold

larry — Wed, 04 Jan 2012 12:54:27 +0000

My first cold of the winter is testing my resolve to post every day. It isn’t too bad as far as my colds go, but I would rather be sleeping than tapping on this keyboard.
