So it's Sunday night again (by the time I finish this entry, it will be Monday morning), and I've had a reasonably good weekend. I saw the new "Tomb Raider" flick on Friday evening -- don't bother.
The weekend has been relatively uneventful. I spent some time this evening reading James Randi's web site, which I'm going to return to after I finish this blog entry. James Randi is the man, in more ways than I can count. Also learned, from reading over his old weekly newsletters, that I am a "bright". That's kind of neat.
Got a phone call from Chad this afternoon -- he's doing well, very little ever changes with him, which is not necessarily a bad thing. After that, I went out for a little while to get some lunch and read the paper, wasted some more time surfing the net, wrote a few letters, and received a phone call from Shaw. To answer your question, btw, yes, I typically do answer my phone when I'm home -- most of my phone calls are from telemarketers, whom I simply hang up on without saying anything (except for those exceptionally rare occasions when they're asking abut something I might actually be interested in). If I'm IM'ing with someone, though, I'll usually let the machine get it.
I'm probably going to be alone at the office for most of this week, which will be nice. I prefer the smallest amount of interruption and human contact possible.
*yawns mightily* Better close this entry and get ready for bed. Well, maybe I'll read some more of James Randi's site first. I really like him -- I wish there were more people in the world who thought the way he does.

Posted by: Shaw at August 4, 2003 12:32 AM#!$#!$$$!# Wish I still was in VT. - why'd I have to drive back to CT.? The air is so horrible here

If VT is better, why don't you move (back) there? Is CT as bad (even by half) as DC/MD in terms of air quality?
Hey, it's that old game from Sesame Street, "which of these is not like the other"!
1. phone call from Chad
2. went out to get some lunch
3. phone call from Shaw
4. prefer the smallest amount of human contact possible
*snicker*

CT. has some really bad air quality - we get the NJ. and NY. smog blown into our faces. It's so friggin' hard to breathe here.
Even on Main Street in Brattleboro, where there's tons of traffic and buildings, it's much easier to breathe there than it is anywhere in CT.

Posted by: Shaw at August 4, 2003 09:34 PMMany descriptions have been applied to the citizens of my state, but methinks "too serious" will never be one of them. *snicker*
Posted by: Moggy at August 4, 2003 10:00 PMI think Larry Flynt IS a serious candidate!
Posted by: Shaw at August 5, 2003 12:04 AMyeah - randi.org - I read it every week. I like the ongoing Sylvia Brown soap opera :)
Posted by: Matt at August 5, 2003 06:42 AMDoes that mean you would call someone who is religious a "Dim"? ;)
