From the monthly archives:
Several of the other donors were impressed with how fast I gave my pint… about 7 minutes. It’s odd. The last time I gave blood, they really had to coax it out of me.

This afternoon, we took Ed’s old car to Carmax, where they say, “We’ll Buy Your Car Even If You Don’t Buy Ours!”
Ten minutes before I took this photo, we didn’t think Carmax’s motto possible, because Ed couldn’t get the car to start. (I’d like to think Ed’s big grins always are because of my stunning [...]

It’s hard to see in this picture, but Toby is resting on his new orthopedic dog bed. Ed put the bed in Toby’s crate earlier today and left the crate’s door open.
Toby loves pillows, dog beds (especially ones that feel like pillows), etc., but he’s not really a “crate dog.”
He generally goes happily into [...]

We went to our new office today (Sunday) to make sure the phone and computers work (they do, thanks to our outstanding IT department) and to unpack essentials, so we can hit the ground running tomorrow morning.
When I started this job, my cubicle was all set up for me, and I’ve made almost no [...]
