I had a dream over the weekend that my grandfather on my Dad’s side was alive again. Some kind of genetic quick-cloning kind of thing. He was in a good mood and was helping us get ready for a family picnic. He keep freaking out my grandmother, especially when the phone would ring and they would both pick up differnt extensions in the house. While he and I were talking, he got up to get a couple of beers (both for himself) and we talked about making plans to go visit his grave. I think we were both a little weirded out by the notion, but he figured it was something he needed to do.<\/p>\n

I also dreamed I rode a bike to Pittsburg to drive someone to a concern. Don’t know what either of those mean.<\/p>\n

In other news, I’ve been letting my hair grow out in preperation for a reprise of the “nerd” role. It’s been delayed until this week and I’m way over-due for a cut. To the point that, over the weekend, someone bumped into me in Target and my hair reacted defensively and gave my “attacker” a wedgie. Okay, so, that’s not even remotely true – but I did turn someone to stone with a glance. Okay, that’s not true either – but I do need to get it cut.<\/p>\n

Finally found a fog-free mirror this weekend – and not some phoney or fake thing either. This is the real deal, with the water running down the back to keep the mirror warm and consquently, fog-free. Not just fog resistant, like those cheap-ass mirrors with a fog-free “coating” that lasts about 1.09 showers. So, with my new mirror installed, I shaved in the shower last night and noticed two things:<\/p>\n

1. I have far more gray in my beard than I would have admitted to. But, it’s there and the mirror magnified all of them. <\/p>\n

2. I have really nice eyes. Which I’d been told, but seen that close up and magnified in my new mirror, well, it’s a differnt perspective. Yeah, it’s a little vain – but note that I started out with the negative first – gotta keep things in balance.<\/p>\n

Also over the weekend I re-watched “Near Dark”. A sort of vampire movie, but they never say “vampire” and they never show fang. When asked how old he is, the oldest vampire among them says – “Let’s just say I fought for the South. We lost.” Classic.<\/p>\n

In still more random news… my tub is draining slowly again. Last nights shower ended with water in the tub just covering my feet. Time for more drain-o, it seems.<\/p>\n

I worked on my taxes over the weekend. I used to use telefile, but they’ve shut that down. So, I tried the efile route – and was really pissed when I realized there was a charge for doing it. And my carefully itemized deductions were less than the standard – and therefore, worthless. And since I didn’t have last year’s with me, I had to print and sign a form to finalize the whole thing. Morons. Why would I go to all the trouble and fill everything out if it wasn’t my own taxes? <\/p>\n

And finally, I’m headed to the eye doctor this friday. Thinking about new glasses – and maybe switching to those for a while. Which is a little dumb considering I’m headed into sunny weather, but what the heck.<\/p>\n

And that’s about it – I’ve got two meetings today, both of which I’m dreading. And I’ve got a lot of web-pages to make, so it’s time to get back to it…<\/p>\n
