Hi back, k!

getting an iced coffee this morning. that's it

Hearing that a good friend has got a job interview.... Go Girl

Seeing that the little girlDog's booboo is healing.

Reading some of these posts

Staz teaches English to some interesting people - they'd make for nice characters in a short story. One of 'em is the guitarist of one of Hungary's top pop bands (another is a girl who works for commercial RTL television and tries to get at any gossip about this guy ; ). He looks like he's from Motorhead but he's a total sweetie. Anyway, the band have their new CD out, so Staz got one today - and she's in the shout-out section, you know where they list the people they wanna thank?

She was very pleased

She also made friends with the guys at the computer store down the street, where they've got this warehouse in the back with a gazillion randomly stacked spare parts. And today, after a long time waiting and hesitating and some time saving money, she got a monitor to hook up to my old desktop that had been sitting, monitor-less, under the desk for three years, plus extra memory and a WiFi card and a new mouse. They installed it all for her, and it was 56 Euro in all, like 80 bucks or something.

She'd been working on my old company laptop, but it's ancient and superslow, and really should be brought back since I have a new one, and right now it cant be used because the power cord broke down and the new one will be a coupla weeks in coming, so she'd been getting pretty frustrated. Plus, she was really proud of having gone out and sorted it all out herself, for herself. Was jumping round the room with excitement this afternoon.

Nigel getting a summer job here at the Widget Factory.

The company for whom I toil offers a limited amount of summer jobs to
college-student children of employees. It's first-come, first serve, so
when I got the email notice, I immediately forwarded it to Nigel. I told
him to put his CV together, fill out the form and mail it to our HR folk
quanto citius. For once, the lad did exactly as his Dad asked when his
Dad asked.

This means a full-time job for the length of the summer. The pay ain't
great, but working full-time he should accumulate some decent dough.

Also, the little girl that was sitting on top of the counter in the photo store this afternoon. Earnestly packed my films into a small plastic bag, and then upon encouragement from her mother and the shopkeeper belted out a little song, after first carefully selecting a marker pen to use as "microphone". Very cute <smiles>

despite keeping a very low profile, my birthday ran me over, i got way more wishes from people all over the world than i'd ever dream of.

nice day.

Girl comes walking down the street, twenty-something, just a regular girl, with a t-shirt that proudly proclaims, "Sexsy Girl".

Wishing Izzie's son a Happy Birthday

Seeing Tulip having a grass fight with the kids. The look on my little fellas face when he held a sparkler sitting next to his best buddy having eaten BIG slices of birthday cake - and knowing that the friends and family I have in the real and virtual world are very special and I am blessed. That all made me smile today. Thanku for a good day. Little things matter.

The other day I was telling a friend of mine something a chick was saying to me. He tells me "well she respects herself...she's not a whore...you're not used to that." Probably right.

not a damn thing yet. i'm still waiting though, the day is still young.

Riding through traditionally black neighborhoods in Athens, looking for rentals, seeing glossy Obama signs erected in yards, interspersed with some pretty big homemade ones...waving in the wind. Wondering briefly how these people inside must feel.

Yes! I just lit a couple candles and am now just loving how nice it looks. Nothing like candlelight.
