Minor walkies in the heavy rain – got too wet and my back wasn’t into the march, so we headed home a bit early. Found a nice grove to walk down. – Stayed in due to rain most of the day.
Larry and…
9428 – Wednesday
Back to work. Busy busy, but BHK made an awesome vegetarian shepherd’s pie and I got to snuggle while watching Eureka, so all is right with the world for the moment.
Both myself and Chris a Rita’s cone on the way home – soft serve vanilla chocolate – Chris had straight up vanilla.
Not much else happened today (save for a possible big bang via graypumpkin), but that’s a good thing. Time seems to be flowing front to back, as usual.
Oh! There was some really awesome weather today!
This Afternoon: Partly sunny, with a high near 74. Northeast wind between 11 and 15 mph.
Tonight: Mostly cloudy, with a low around 60. East wind between 8 and 13 mph.
That made it nice to go out and breathe.
The McCain campaign has accused Barack Obama of sexism, saying the Illinois senator was talking about Sarah Palin when he mentioned “putting lipstick on a pig.” Obama responded that the phrase is just a tired old joke, to which McCain shot back, “WHO’S a tired old joke???”

9427 – Tuesday
Got epidural (ouch.), appointment with cardio, met with back doc, got spore, Mexican food and maggie moo’s.
Wal-mart drew the last straw, and is now on the official boycott list – poor service plus bad business practices in the pharmacy.
While BHK was reading bergdorf blonds, I played spore – somehow I can’t use the critter I created in the demo creator in a spore game -still investigating why that is.
Went grocery shopping – Cranberry sierra mist is back and I got creme de menthe altoids – sad to see the mandarin orange mist gone.
As for walkies – we’ve laid out a reward plan – we have a bundle of space-critter buttons, and for each goal, we get an additional "merit badge" – after we get up to distance, it’ll be repetition. My goal is 5 miles a walk, three walks a week.
So far –
5 badges each–earned
1 after 5x 1 mile walks—Allison got a space piggy, Scott got a red astro-kitty
2 after 4x 2 mile walks
3 after 3x 3 mile walks
4 after 2x 4 mile walks
5 after 1x 5 miles walk!

I left work a bit late due to meeting, but from there BHK and I went to University of Maryland to hang out a bit before heading home.
Chili with Matt, Adam and BHK at Hard Times – drove around college park, visited his dorm, and BHK put a C**k-block on Adam vs Sarah our server by telling her he had a facebook and liked her, Saw the Kermit / Jim Henson statue, lots of squirrels, and tons of college kids going from place to place.
Interesting to revisit that sort of hive after being out of it for so long.
The Chili mac superior to Frito pie.. but I suspect they didn’t put the Frito pie in the properly sized bowl. If it had been in my mac bowl, it’d have been more than sufficient.
Chris passed the PMP exam – we’ll have to take her out to supper for that! (studied for it all week.)

Better Walkies today – cooler weather – lady with cats in a screened in stroller (Abby and Gabby – her name was Merle), spent much of the day at home.
Adam paid a visit, brought Chinese food. Played some Wii / lego star wars, took it easy.
Additionally, we saw the polydactyl cats who were more than friendly and lovable – they flop over and show belly for petting as soon as we get within 10 feet of them. clicks embiggen as always. I think the white belly is pregnant. Are mitten-footed cats just more friendly? I seem to recall the ones in the Keys to be especially lovey, too.

Chewing on a bagel yanked out my filling and root canal. I now have a pretty big hole in my jaw – not painful, but after calling Dr Wolf, I’m to keep food out as best I can, and call him on Monday for an appointment – this was the tooth that was going to ge tthe crown, so I guess I may have more than two appointments ahead of me now (1 for temp crown, one to install perm)
