On this day in 1951, my profession was, essentially "born".

No, I'm not talking about "that time of the month".

It's hurricane season again. Yeah, already. I mention this because a fairly heavy tropical storm has already started up and is smacking Florida around. So, if you haven't started thinking about how you're going to survive this year's hurricane season, you better start.

I did something very new and outside my tiny, little comfort zone last night. I went to see a movie alone. I have never, ever done this before and the mere thought of it terrified me so much I had to tell several people I was going to do it so that they'd ask later to make sure I had. I'm not sure why it was so very frightening to me, but, well, it was. But, I did it anyway.

Hey, I'm working on it!

I thought this went well with the book review earlier this week.

Or, why I play the lottery.

I finished A Dirty Job : A Novel by Christopther Moore the other day.

I keep meaning to mention this, but I've recently upgraded my blogs to the latest version of WordPress. Now, no one has probably noticed that, but I thought it was noteworthy. Well, if I did the upgrade right, no one noticed. Certainly, no one said anything if they did notice.

Well, more precisely, a Pringles can macro lens.

I got thinking the other day, and that's always a recipe for trouble.
