I love my friends.
I was kind enough to babysit my goddaughter/godson while they finished off their Christmas shopping on Friday.
Not 25 minutes after they left, Annalisa started to cry and fidget, so I took her out of her crib and started rocking her. I then felt the warm trickle of baby pee on my thigh...
So began my adventure!
I figured "Oh well" and went to get her a diaper so I could change her. As I went into her room... I stepped on something really really nasty and squishy. Turns out that Millie (the dog) decided to take a crap in her bedroom, and my foot found it. Thank God I had socks on.
Now, I'm off to play "Where in the USA is Carmen Sandiego?"

Hey, You Guuuuuuuuuuuuuuys!
Caught PBS’s tribute to “The Electric Company” on Friday night.
Wow – talk about brining back memories. I’m a fan of Tom Lehrer (“Poisoning Pigeons in the Park”, “The Elements”), and Back in the late 70’s when I was watching EC on a daily basis (can annoying my Mom, as well, so I scored on 2 fronts), I didn’t know he did music for them. The “L-Y” song and “Silent E” are two of my all-time faces from EC.
Along with Joan Rivers doing the voiceovers for “The Adventures of Letterman”, and Gene Wilder providing Letterman’s voice! I didn’t pick up the connection until I saw the show on Friday.
I think there is a “Best of” DVD coming out soon – I plan on picking it up (

Snow 1 - Me 0
First snow today – and I have mixed feelings about it.
First off, I’ve never been fond of winter. I don’t like being cold, and I really don’t like being cold outside. But on the other hand, I do like it when the snow is falling. It’s peaceful and serene, and I like that.
Second, it seems that once it starts snowing and icing over, the entire State of Maine forgets how to drive. I’ve only had my license back for about a year, so I’m still a bit leery about driving in the winter. I’ve how some of these idiots drive in this town, and frankly, it scares the shit out of me.
So like I said – mixed feelings about the whole winter thing.
