Frances the Tease

Posted on September 4, 2004 by Solonor

My wife actually yelled at Frances to “shit or get off the pot”. This is just frustrating. The power’s gone off several times today. And since I don’t have a UPS, and I don’t want the PC fried when it … Continue reading → Continue reading →

10 in a row, Dad!

Posted on September 4, 2004 by Solonor

Sadly, Labor Day weekend is now entrenched in my brain as the weekend my dad died. It was September 1, 2001, to be exact. I failed to mention the third anniversary here, because… well, I don’t exactly know why. I … Continue reading → Continue reading →

Slowest. Storm. Ever.

Posted on September 4, 2004 by Solonor

The early bands of it finally hit us a minute ago, dumping buckets of water on us. Not that I wish for a hurricane, but if it’s gonna hit us, let’s get it over with! Even if everything weren’t closed, … Continue reading → Continue reading →
