ARCHIVES - 1996 to FOREVER

I awoke about 07:00, and decided that I was going to get up... but I didn't.

I awoke again about 09:00, and decided that I was going to get up... but I didn't.

I finally got up about 10:45, much later that I wanted to.

And I've felt loggy all day... totally lacking in ambition... ambition to do anything physical, that is. Sitting and browsing I can do just fine... but not really. Getting bored with that, too.

Cravings for drink? You betcha. Lots and lots.

And deviously, I can reason my way into having a drink.

But I know that trap, know it well.

"Come on! One little drink won't hurt, and nobody'll know...."

Got me once, that's enough.

And I can't even remember how it happened, or when. I think that Karen and I were in KC, and they had free drinks at the hotel.

And that's all that it took.

Not again, not gonna fall for that.

I did finally subscribe to Salon.com, though. Been wanting to do that for a coupla years, just to see what it's all about.

And it's good, yes it is. I have spent most of my time browsing it's pages, fascinating articles there.

It seems to be rather liberal, but there's quite a bit of conservative stuff there too... I just haven't read it, but I probably will eventually.

As a liberal, I'm not anti-conservative; in fact, I'm probably more conservative than I want to admit. But socially, where it counts, I'm a liberal. Fiscally conservative, though.

But the conservative label denotes right-wing religious nutzism. And the liberal label denotes tree-hugging bleeding-heart nutzism.

I would really like to disassociate myself with either group, if you don't mind.

Thunderstorms, indeed, tornados, all around us... and nothing, *nothing* here. It just ain't fair.

I did hear some thunder as a huge storm roared by to the west of us, but that's all.

And I'm going to bed early tonight, so I can get my sleep back on schedule.
