Nilknarf Daily Haiku

changes do disturb;
minds and rivers and nations....
but love most of all.


A nice day with Jean once again....

And again, I got a late start, she got an early one.

I got up about noonish, then we went out to IHOP for breakfast and had the usual enjoyable time eating, drinking and being merry.

We went over to Macy's, thinking that we would pick up a 3-quart sauce pan, but once we got there we couldn't remember what we had, so we decided to look them up on-line.

The day started off mild, but with a stiff north wind it was soon very chilly. No appreciable snow, but there had been some, before it got cold enough to stick around.

I'd always kinda figgered since it's gonna be cold anyway, we might as well get the snow, too, so it can be pretty, too. Somehow, after the first snowfall or two, it stops being pretty anymore, I suppose it's just in the mind of the one who's experiencing it.

Jean spent the rest of the day studying and I worked on various computers and wired some wires in the kitchen and didn't wire some others. Dammit, if I got everything done, I wouldn't have anything to do, and then where would I be?20100208

Yeah, I know, that's never happened, but why take a chance? Very little to gain and much to lose.

Some way or another, Bumpy spent the night out last night without us knowing until this morning, of course.

And tonight, she snuck out again... right between my legs, while I was getting Piper in. I'm thinking that she will be more anxious to get back in, since the wind chill is about -2F.

Yep, she was waiting right outside the door when I went to check. Happy to return to the warm.

Shame about Jack Murtha... he was a fighter, and I wonder what kind of "complications" arose from his cholecystectomy... that's just strange. Of course, he was 77....

Not a good enough reason for me.

I'm not really very tired, but it's past midnight and I need to get back on a schedule that includes morning in it, heh.


"Sometimes, exhausted / with toil and endeavour, / I wish I could sleep / for ever and ever; / but then this reflection / my longing allays: / I shall be doing it / one of these days." -Piet Hein, poet and scientist (1905-1996)
