Effluvia

I took this from Stee, and it is very funny: Homies.

Hey, it's my neighborhood!

Siobhanorama!

Siobhan wants to weld.

So, it's like, I wrote an entry for today and everything, but I misplaced it.

I may find it. I may not. Who can say?

We're all fine here, though. How are you?

Did I mention the Wife got a job? She'll be doing PR, which she is very good at. We're all quite pleased, here at the Williams Estate.

Well, Sonya has really enjoyed her month-and-a-half stint as a housewife, but she'll get back in the swing of the working world before too long.

And we're planning a trip back to Memphis! Next weekend, when I have my Monday off; Sonya got next Monday off before she even did a day's work. Smart Wife!

Umm... the Dog has been itching a lot today. After a rainless (but humid) summer, the last two weeks have been rainy and (relatively) cooler. I believe this has excited the local flea population. They are now tormenting my hound. Damn you, insects!

So Roxy is sitting in the hall, scratching. Occasionally she stretches out and gives me a pathetic look. I have to take her for a walk soon.

Gosh. I wish I knew some jokes to tell you, or something. I try to come into this thing with at least a vague topic to discuss. Not tonight, though! You're seeing Harold's mind at work.

Yup.

Uh huh.

I'm drinking Dixie beer tonight. Dixie is a venerable local brew. A nice light lager, kind of fuzzy on the tounge. It is a good workingman's beer.

The E.R. season finale is on the TV. Carter is on dope. Stupid Carter.

"You decided to update, huh?" Sonya just asked me.

"I'm just babbling, though," I explained.

"Diarrhea of the mouth," she observed. Sharp as a tack, that Wife of mine is.

Are you gonna watch the opening ceremonies of the Olympics tomorrow? I probably will, but just for the part where they let the kangaroos and koalas fight it out in the Native Animal Death-Pit.

Did you know that when a koala is about to go crazy they start hiccuping? In Miami, back when Hurricane Andrew hit, they had koalas hippuping. They put 'em on a plane and got 'em out of there, pronto, 'cause who knows what kind of damage a crazy-ass koala bear can do?

Since we've moved to New Orleans we watch the weather with renewed interest; we got here at the start of hurricane season and a storm always seems to be lurking in the Gulf of Mexico.

I think I should stop while I'm ahead.
