Uh-oh...

Thankfully, the chaos belongs to other people for a change.

So, my buddy, J., got his ring back yesterday morning. We have him on, more or less, suicide watch. I'm not sure how many nights he's going to be hanging at Hoffman's Home for Wayward Boys, and he may not spend the entire night, but I'm sure he'll be over more than once between now and Christmas.
Here's how it went down....

I've got the spirit.

The spirit of Christmas, that is!
Hey, look for the first time in three years, I actually put up a  tree.  And I live alone, so there's no one to see it.  Well, no one but the girls at work who saw it on my cellphone and cooed.  Okay, so now you know the real reason I put up the tree, but still...

I finished The Stupidest Angel by Christopher Moore this week.

I'm 38 today.

It's not quite the "birthday" of the mouse, but...

And, I thought things would slow down this week.

Ha! Well, my work schedule is almost as grueling this week as it has been for the past month. So many things to do at work and so little time. In any case, that means that there's no real theme to these links, but I found them all at least interesting.

So, as per usual in my alleged love life, I face an uphill battle.
C.'s divorce is final, but she already had a boyfriend, as I mentioned in an earlier post. Well, maybe not so much any more, in part, I'm afraid, due to me. Allow me to explain...

So, I've been getting quotes on a lot of service providers lately.

A cigarette sure would taste good about now.
