Why “Sliding Constant”?

It’s been a long time since I had a web site up. When the entire geek crew started getting domains and web sites, I began pondering if it was time for me to plunge back in. I knew that Amy would do the design for me. I also figured I’d probably go ahead and start a web […]

New site

So, I have a new web log up (finally). I’m not going to link to it here, but if I know you, feel free to contact me privately, and I’ll give you the link. 🙂 I will no longer post any new entries to this site (but I do plan to leave it up for […]

The guy who doesn’t want to be a “typical” guy (but in some ways IS)

For anyone who knows me well, it will probably come as no surprise that I was quite relieved when I came up with a reason why this whole situation is (mostly) my fault. For those of you who don’t know me well and, yet, are still interested, I hope by the time you finish reading this “book”, you’ll have a general idea.

Serious relief

Well, I took a look at the online account stuff, and I can see that the US Treasury has deposited the check that I sent to pay my federal taxes. That confirms a few different relief-inducing things: I put the returns in the correct envelopes (I thought I did, but you know how you always obsess about […]

Extremes

Half a week later… and if anything, the extremes of my feelings are worse instead of better. If given the chance, I’m not sure whether I’d throttle her or thank her. There’s not much room for anything in between right now. Either way, I’m pretty sure I’d be bawling while doing it. I know she wasn’t happy, though. I hope […]

The wreck today

Now that I have some time, I figure I should let everyone know that I was rear-ended this morning. Me and the other driver were both unhurt. No one else was in our cars, and our two cars were the only ones involved. Honestly, it was very minor. What the other driver gave as his […]

Beginning to see some things coming back

You know, I was originally writing one of my “extended book” posts, but I think I’m going to use this lockup as a signal that I should be doing something a lot shorter. What I was really trying to say was that as strange as it seems, I’ve decided to look at a small slip […]

Sorry about the site “going away”

For the three or so people  that were probably paying attention, I’ve found and fixed my error that resulted in the site “going away” for a few days. I can get technical on a one-on-one basis for anyone who’s interested, but it’s too long and boring to share here. The short story is that it’s […]

Relating to a web comic

Yesterday, I happened upon a web page (That page no longer loads the comics. Here’s the one I saw.) that had a collection of web comics that all dealt with the difficulties of depression. There was a lot of stuff I related to, but there was one quote in item 15, that really resonated with me: I had simply become bad […]
