Physical Therapy again today, and some pictures to go along with it. New, added regimen of working out.. some are quite ambitious... I'm again hurting a bit but in a good way.






As of this writing, that was taken this afternoon... sphinx-relaxing and totally spoiled because I'm home all day.No Froggie headdresses for him!

I dreamt last night that I went out with Ray and Kathleen to an ice cream shop, that had "Cthulhu" as one of the flavors. Apparently it was some sort of alcohol / Tabasco / Squid thing, and was really popular and trendy with the "hip kids". I got a Gin and Tonic flavored one (Miskatonic?) and recall enjoying it quite a bit. Ray and I were joking and getting along like the old days, but Katleen wasn't her normal, friendly self the way I remember her. (It was almost like Pam was talking out of Kathleen's mouth, now that I think of it.) I asked why they never talked to Danny anymore, and Ray said something along the lines of "Well, you know how it is... School and work... things catch up." I understood that for a bit, but Kathleen said "Anyway, it's not like we're going to see him again." (That sounds much more like Pam than Kathleen.) I got pretty ticked off at that point and got up and left, only to be bounced off the hood of a car in the parking lot. (Buggy Soccer?) I got up, dusted myself off, and continued walking home.

I really think of Ray and Kathleen very rarely these days, only when something new and unusual comes out that strikes me as "Ray-ish" or "Kat-ish" like The Austin powers movies "Kung-fu chop" or The Matrix. Pam, I never think about, except when I see someone bringing out my negative side. There are a few people that can do that, and Pam was one of them. On the flip side, we fed off of one another, so I made her a bit more evil, too. Sometimes I think that I'm a mirror for some people, bringing out some of their stronger qualities. Ray, goofy, fun, knows the meaning of bizarre. Kathleen, pleasant, helpful, very observant and clever. Dan, Quirky, intelligent, silly. They all brought out the same sides of me when I'm with them. Of course, I have my own personality too, and bits of that rub off back and forth during social intercourse. I think part f my personality is to pick up bits of those around me, but the whole of it comprises it is my spin on those attributes that I find attractive.

Chickenhawk cards.

Now, we're raising the ante – with the Deck of Republican Chickenhawks, depicting the 54 Republican officials, congressmen, politicians and pundits who avoided serving their country through connections, deferments, or other excuses... "The United Republican Chickenhawks."

What exactly is a "chickenhawk"? According to The New Hampshire Gazette, "a "chickenhawk" has three qualities: bellicosity (a warlike manner or temperament), public prominence, and a curious lack of wartime service when others their age had no trouble finding the fight.

Today's Cool Weirdness -

A Carmel couple is trying to solve a mailbox mystery.

Last weekend, Barbara Mitchell received an old postcard at her home, a print of the fishing fleet of Monterey. The postmark on the card, inked over an old 1-cent stamp, says it was sent in 1934.

But Mitchell was born in 1951.

Lunar Eclipse tonight! If you're on the east coast, or anywhere in South America, it's a go. See the link's picture for best times. This link is useful for most sorts of eclipses in general. :)

For folks in South Florida, It'll be between 10pm and 12:30am.

Speaking of that time frame,

Your Delivery Window Sat, May 17 10:30 am-12:00 pm

Well, I've gone with Publix direct for grocery delivery. We'll see how it goes.. the web interface was easy enough, and my first order didn't have a delivery charge.

Pretty neat. Now you set up a window that's convenient for you, and they bring the loot by. All sorts of windows open from 7am to 10pm, seven days.

I may go with this from now on if the delivery charge is decent... if it's under $10 I'll do it.
