Illness (not like the Beastie Boys)

My previous post, Assorted Crap, helped yield my biggest day on blogger…170 hits!!  It was the paragraph about the WNBA.  The post the was linked from Women’s Hoops Blog (which I used to have on my Ice Climber blogroll) and from RebKell’s Junkie Boards, a very active women’s basketball forum.
I wanted to maintain the momentum [...]

Assorted Crap

Is it time to write another blogger post??
Girl…you know it’s true.
No doubt, I ran hard this evening. Normally, during the flat sections after uphills, I’m forced to scale it back to regain my breath, but I powered through them today. It had to be one of my faster ones…I even had the energy [...]

On Your Mark

This afternoon I signed the papers to become an official employee of the Fremont schools.  To “celebrate”, I splurged for a fancy car wash for my 1992 Mazda MX-6.  To be honest, I thought it was your run-of-the-mill drive-thru, but I ended up  paying $15, getting out of the car and waiting while 5 or [...]

Change for the Worse

Yesterday, while on my normal jogging route near the high school, I ran into a few teachers who had come in on the weekend to prepare for the first day on Monday. They knew I was already gone; word travels quickly among us. My departure was just one of the many from Hayward [...]

Blog Traffic and Junior High Challenge

Just a coupla posts ago I had mentioned that the traffic on this blog had dramatically slowed.  It’s not something that bothers me; just an observation.  But I should have known that bringing porn into the discussion — I’m talking about when I mentioned 2 Hot 2 Young 2 Much 3 — that the hits [...]

One Fine Day

Audio Post

I’ve spoken (perhaps to myself) lately about how much I’ve been wanting to go out. Work ended for me nearly two weeks ago but it didn’t end for anyone else I know and it’s just difficult when my urge just doesn’t coincide with the desire of everyone I know. So spending today [...]

Vicki Forever

The girl at the bar tonight asked me the name of the show with the girl robot.  Not important, but it’s the perfect excuse to use the “Small Wonder” tag.  Good night, people.

Store Metamorphosis

I’ve been coming to Happy Donut since 1998. The first time I stopped here was when I decided to ride my bike from school to the mall at San Antonio Shopping Center. SASC is this old-style mall, not enclosed, and it used to have little shops like the hobby shop and the Russian [...]

5 Turkeys Crossed The Road While I Jogged Today

We got cable television at the house after a 20-year gap. It’s less than amazing. I scrolled through channels trying to find something to watch besides CNN Showbiz Tonight and I came across Little Miss Sunshine. But as soon as I clicked the channel I turned to the computer screen to do [...]

Job Search Blues

Right back where I started.
I’m searching for a job since the only thing Hayward High can offer me right now is a half-time position in a subject I’m not qualified to teach. They say that employees should always have their resumes updated and have letters of reference on file. It’s the truth! [...]
