I love the name Zelda! It's kind of my fantasy name, ya know? Actual name is Meg, which also works. :-)

He was a fire marshal? Awesome. His checkered life reminds me of an elderly friend of my dad's who spent some of his earlier years in jail on tax evasion (or something like that), where he won everyone over with his harmonica playing. Now he's this highly-esteemed lawyer whose mere name has other lawyers and judges alike raising their eyebrows when they hear that he's associated with a case. I had the privilege of seeing him present a case to the Supreme Court (I think--I really don't speak legalese), and the news cameras kept showing me falling asleep! (Not a morning person.)

My grandma's breast cancer is back for the third time-it isn't hopeful.

Cant remember where the name came from. It was long before the helicoptor was around. Might have been from my dad but the only thing he said when I popped out was we sure as hell dont want anymore of those. Thats OK, Ive been called worse mostly by my wives. I dont really care what they call me as long as its not late for dinner.

Nothing much miserable happened today so far. Found piss ants in my kitchen was about all. A good dose of super-industrial ant food took care of that problem.

Do what they used to do in Mexico. Maybe they still do. When someone was fired from a job, they would give him (or her) a picture of a pig. That should get the message across. You must have really high ceilings to give fan cleaners nosebleeds.

Nothing miserable yet today, except I ran out of beer. That will be taken care of at 10 OClock as soon as the beer store opens.

This has been making me kind of frustrated the last couple weeks or so. Has anyone been having problems with the forum lately? Lately when I go on it, it stalls and freezes and wont respond. It does this for about a half hour then straightens out somewhat. I thought it might be this old computer but other things seem to work OK. Has anyone else had this problem?

I had to get out of bed. Inconceivable
