So, for some reason I feel like stepping out from my curtain of random bizarro posts and writing something serious for a change. I guess I'm just having one of those days. But I've had more than my fair share of those days during the last year.

I'm sitting here thinking that working from home is not all it's cracked up to be. Working from home in the middle of nowhere, on top of that. Nothing more than the birds and the bugs for company. I appreciate the wife, too...but she sleeps half the day. That's okay, she needs that right now. I've never been a terribly social person, but I guess I feel better when I'm surrounded by people. Even if I don't feel like talking, at least I know they are there.

Unrelated topic, something really smells in my kitchen this morning. It's strongest in a certain spot that doesn't appear to be close to anything that would ordinarily host a stench. I really wonder what my wife was cooking last night. The smell brings to mind a certain W.B. Yeats poem in which he writes: "And what rough beast, its hour come round at last,Slouches towards Bethlehem to be born?" I don't have an answer for him, but whatever it is...it was probably conceived in my kitchen.

i hear that y'all are moving to town soon...yes? it sounds like that would be a good thing for you. i have what would probably be a good situation for you. we live in the 'burbs...but all i have to do is walk 1/2 block, and there are neat stores, a movie theater, restaurants...and the bus into the subway...which takes you to boston in about 1/2 an hour...bus and all. it's *pretty* quiet in the house...but not nearly as quiet as where you are.

as for your kitchen-stench...has cthulhu been in your kitchen?
