Feeling Like a Complete Ass

I managed to completely screw up some work. Completely and publicly. It's fixed now, but...

If my competence is that flimsy, who the hell am I anyway?

Things I Give Thanks For

1. My wonderful friends. Thank you all, you make life rich and joyful.


2. My sister. Who is Jane-on-the-Spot in Boston dealing with very difficult circumstances.


3. My health. Yeah, I'm a little creakier and a little more rickety, but I'm basically in okay shape (as far as I know). Which is a very good thing considering my lack of health insurance.


4. My church. This community continues to sustain me and encourage me to grow spiritually.


5. My work. You know I'm lazy and I don't like to work. But it beats the hell out of not being able to pay rent.


6. My city. I love Washington. I just do. I don't CARE what anybody else thinks.


7. My home. It's a pigsty right now, but it's livable and I can afford it.


8. The internets. The internets are great; the internets have allowed me to make new friends I'd otherwise never have met, which far outweighs the hours I've wasted playing poker. Oh, and see "my work," above.

Happy Thanksgiving Day, all! Travel safely...

Buy my SONY DSC-P100

This 5.1 megapixel digital camera comes complete with manual, all cables, a 256 MB memory stick, and is in like-new condition. You might want to give it as a gift this holiday season. Also posted on craigslist, but for you, my wonderful friends, special price! Let's talk...

Sempervirens

I had the pleasure of a visit from Mike and Karin. Among other entertainments, we ventured to the National Arboretum to take in the fall foliage on the miniature trees.

There, we discovered this towering specimen of redwood, which was born in the same year as Mike. I like the way the sunlight just catches both their crowns.
