Hidden City Curiosities

@AnnOhio I have a feeling you might call a few people, too. :-)

Jan 1st

@AnnOhio I’m still awake, so if you can still see the numbers on your phone… ;-)

Jan 1st

Happy new year to you, @devBear!

Jan 1st

Well, maybe a slim possibility of a long distance New Year’s kiss, if I am obscenely lucky.

Food found and eaten, and back home in the bunker. Save for the possibility of unhealthy levels of...

@tiffany City of Heroes. My only gaming vice these days, other than Facebook Scrabble.

No, @tiffany, but you may be on to something. Perhaps I’ll channel the energy into heroics for...

I am suddenly in an awful, angry, frustrated mood, and I don’t want to end the year this way....

Ending my work year arguing with senior vice presidents about topics for which they lack clues. Joy.

And I agree wholeheartedly with that opinion when it comes to people who just post links to their...

Dec 30th

Just so we’re clear, @andrewbadera, I generally agree with you.

Hello, @AnnOhio. Well, we’re just discussing the pointlessness (or point) of following someone...

@AndrewBadera So the key, then, is that it should be two-way? Makes sense to me. But what about the...

I would hold off on evicting the poolboy, @annohio.

Good morning, @dearyvette. I am attempting to fool myself back into health using photography.

Is it a coincidence that @andrewbadera and I both have bomb-throwing avatars today? Actually, yes.

Dec 25th

I guess I ended up on Saint NIC’s naughty list, because my Internet access at home is toasted.
