Freaky Dog
Molly’s purple Jolly Ball has been behind the house for a couple of weeks. Her green one is down the side yard against a tree. The red one has been her favored ball recently but has vanished (it always returns).
So yesterday, I say to Molly, "Go get your purple ball." She runs outside with purpose and within 2 minutes is sitting at the front door with the purple ball!
I told Cathy about this and she brushed it off as coincidence then prompted Molly, "Go get the purple ball!" to which Molly went straight over to Evan’s 2 foot diameter $2.50 purchased at Target knowing good and well Molly would eat it ball which happens to be purple and nudged it deliberately with her nose then looked straight at us. Weird! Btw, Evan’s ball is made at Hedstrom who made a very pretty and incredibly useless website.
From the mouths of babes

Noah: "I don’t know."
Dad: "Your mother asked you to clean your room and you didn’t. Why?"
Sarah: "I don’t know."
Dad: "Do you have any homework?"
Tommy: "I don’t know."
Dad: "What did you do in school today?"
Amy: "I don’t know."
Dad: "Are you hungry?"
Evan: "Diiiink"
I want one!
Same group; larger payload.
Dream a little dream
It would appear that tonight I need to be gruff, caustic, very direct and cold, rough and walk with a limp. Thank you Hugh Laurie for the role playing opportunity!
Because cat pictures are cute
Yeah for Noah!
Noah crossed over from Cub Scouts to Boy Scouts last night. He has worked hard and I am proud of him!
Oh the Horrors – No Java!
I ran out of coffee Monday morning. I have no tea. I wonder if I can fool myself into thinking hot water is a drink for productivity.
And http://popurls.com/ appears down. Arrgh!

How do you measure stress?
I know my stress is up. I am having dizzy spells again and I am out of coffee.
My weeds are growing
Wish their clothes would grow with them. At least I am not alone. A parent at karate was complaining about her children all wearing "floods" which made me feel a little less bad about Noah’s high waters.
Too much input
Today the white noise is horrible. I can hear the flame of the candle on my desk flicker. The hum of the compressor on the heat pump fan outside is nearly unbearable. My cpu fan has an extra click today that was not there yesterday. The light footsteps upstairs echo through my spine. Some unidentified high pitch whine makes me think I still have one up on the teens. My very thoughts ring in my ears. The unbearable cold of this office enhances the distractions and makes focus so much more difficult.
Today I should insulate the backdoor and sand on the walls in the bedroom. Instead, I shall code and code and wish I had time for administrative duties.
