Speaking of numbers: me having 4 brothers we have, on occasion, referred to each other by number. So, this one time, I call the eldest to talk over something and when he answers the phone it goes something like this:
Him: Hello?
Me: Number 1? This is Number 4!
Him: Number 1 speaking. Report Number 4!
His wife in the background: Who is that? Who are you talking to?

Morning, all. What did I miss?
Well, Scott continued to dismiss his shoulder problems as a simple pulled muscle, never realizing that he had, in fact, become host to an other-dimensional organism that was slowly merging with his own DNA because it could not otherwise survive in our atmosphere. Meanwhile, Gregg's phone interview went horribly wrong when a malfunction in his phone resulted in the caller only hearing heavy breathing sounds. And, across town, Max and Patrick agreed to disagree over the superiority of 80's Mumm-Ra versus.....No, wait! That's my soap opera.

Aberzombie's Really Grim Fairy Tales:
The Elf Princess and the Dwarf Warrior
Once upon a time, a stalwart dwarven warrior named Curmudge was marching through the forest when he came upon an elven maiden beset by goblins. The brave dwarf charged into battle, slaughtering the monsters left and right, until the survivors fled. The elf introduced herself as Princess Farfulu. Curmudge felt a stirring in his heart, and suddenly professed his undying love for the beautiful elf maid. Farfulu reciprocated his feelings, but knew that they must be careful, lest her father find out and bring his wrath down upon her hero.
So, for many months, Curmudge and Farfulu met in secret, enjoying many glorious spring days basking in each other's company. Unfortunately, their meetings were not a secret as they thought. Mucknuck the troll had accidently come across them during a rendevous, and grew jealous that his own love for such surpassing beauty was not returned in such a fashion.
The seed of anger and rage over his unrequited love continued to grow in Mucknuck's heart, until it one day burst forth in a tidal wave of violence. Ambushing the two lovers, Mucknuck gutted the beautiful princess, all the while screaming,
"That's my dwarf, b**~+! Die! Die!"
Enraged at the murder of his beloved, Curmudge grabbed up his trusty ax, dismembered Mucknuck, and burned the pieces. Then, before he could even so much as weep over Farfulu's cold body, the elf king and his warriors came across the scene, saw the dead princess and the blood covered dwarf, and filled Curmudge full of arrows before he could utter one word.
Later, the elf king died of a broken heart.
The end.

I tried to explain that it was the dog doing the heavy breathing because she was sleeping.
Then I heard a dial tone.
What does this mean?

Well I'm on my second one in a row.
Monday and yesterday were more or less awful for me, but for different reasons. Although I think the root cause might be a bit of full moon fever. Here's hoping today's better for everyone.

Hmmm - based on my experience last night, maybe there is something to this full moon fever belief.

It feels like May not March. This weather is freaking me out. Also the bird who thinks it's a brilliant idea to sit on top of my air-conditioner and sing at an ungodly hour must die.
>.<
Not a morning person obviously. And where I live obnoxious wildlife is pretty uncommmon. The time we spent living in the quieter part of town I nearly went crazy. I couldn't hear sirens or train whistles or traffic. I really like where we are now cause I can also hear the bells from St Francis church across the street. It's not that rural areas have less sound, it's that they have the wrong sounds. :P

It is supposed to be in the mid 50's here today. Not sure where winter went this year ... we did not have one at all. Which worries me since we always have some sort of winter in New England. I expect some late snow up here this month.
How is everyone doing on this fine day?
Other than trace snowfall that essentially melted by mid-day, we've only had one three-to-four day weekend in Ohio where we had snow on the ground long enough where I had to get out and shovel. I'm sure hoping that there'll be no nasty late season snowfall surprises as spring is right around the corner. I'm actually thankful that snowfall was quite minimal this year.
I am curious about how that gets handled in city / community budgets since they didn't have to pay for the expenditures on "salting" the roads and the overtime to keep the workers out there to keep the roads in drive-able conditions.
I just need to find some spare change to get started on laying down some mulch and fertilizer for the yard.
