That was

A fun way to spend an afternoon.

Working from home today, nursing my 6th cold of the year (and 4th since August). The cable guy came by a little before 10. Dealt with him for about 40 minutes, while conferencing with my work programmer.

Then, my Brother Edgar called. He’s in town to take care of a few thins, and was wondering if he could come and hang out. Sure, says I. He comes by just before lunch, and right after I finished transcribing my little black journal. We spent the afternoon chatting and reminiscing about the good old days as only two drunks can.

Over diet soda.

After a few well timed episodes of B5 , and the crazed horror that is Rondellus, we can no longer resit.

It was time to break out the Atari 2600, and play it in…

GLORIOUS HIGH DEFINITION.

Let me tell you this for free. When the subwoofer is booming on Combat tanks, there’s really nothing like it.

and there’s also nothing quite like the cd that came in the mail today. mmmm, sometimes I feel like a sad song...

Also, things to remember.

Thou shalt not use Linnean Taxonomy 600 years before it is invented. Also, when you are not happy with how a scene is ending, odds are high that it has already ended. take a step back, and review.

More later. time to get back to it.
