@hjames 🙂 It's always good to have one "moving around" hobby and one "sitting still" hobby. in reply to hjames #
@hjames I like bicycling & making jewelry, have also thought about taking up knitting. in reply to hjames #
@bhenick 1st time I saw snow fall, I was a freshman in college. 1st white xmas was year before last. OTOH, at least we have water here. #
@bhenick I do occasionally have pangs about leaving home (Pasadena CA) this time of year. (mom's garden probly has roses in bloom now.) #
@NaNoWriMo I wasn't able to "win" this year, but I'm still plunking along at my story, few hundred words a day. in reply to NaNoWriMo #
feel like today I'm just not really firing all cylinders. bleh. #
@dylanw gotcha. I wish I did know why people have such a hard time. (I'm not that great a driver, but I think I have a good excuse.) in reply to dylanw #
cold in the office. AGAIN. on the plus side, can see BLUE SKY out the window. #
@dylanw …we were joking the whole weekend about dumb WA drivers (all of us from out of state), got home to voicemail abt coworker in coma. in reply to dylanw #
@dylanw I try not to joke about it too much. I was stuck in the backup that day (Fri b4 Labor Day '96) on my way to camping w/friends… in reply to dylanw #
@FinancialBrand and entirely in Flash. wtf? in reply to FinancialBrand #
@dylanw I've wondered about that for many years. (esp since Becka's death in crash caused by sudden squall. 🙁 ) in reply to dylanw #

ha! RT @simonstl, @unhappyhipsters: Weeks later, no one had heard from the family; foolishly, no one suspected the cat. http://bit.ly/eaIlDK #
@bhenick oops, sorry. :\ not that I know of, no. in reply to bhenick #
@bhenick on the coast, but having coastal radar makes Sound (etc) predictions better too. (helps to see what's coming!) in reply to bhenick #
@bhenick BTW, if you are at all interested in PNW weather, his book is fantastic! http://bit.ly/gcHbPd in reply to bhenick #
@bhenick Cliff Mass is the MAN when it comes to PNW weather, so I'm sure he does. 🙂 But we are getting radar soon IIRC. #yaystimulus in reply to bhenick #
@einmaleins hard to say. I'll admit I don't get terribly agitated abt that issue one way or the other, so I'm not tuned into people who do. in reply to einmaleins #
@simonstl weather infrastructure is SO important. no radar on PNW coast is a HUGE problem in getting good forecasts. http://bit.ly/h6fKyw in reply to simonstl #
@Oakwright I arrived in Slaughter The World mode, but ended up having fun playing Halfling Detective. 🙂 in reply to Oakwright #
@kermix23 apparently. in reply to kermix23 #

@einmaleins not that I disagree entirely w/yr POV, but the ageism is a little annoying. not just greyhairs who are anti-isthmus dev. #
people always assume I'm into the roleplaying part; I like it ok, but am mostly there for the hack & slash. #
D&D game tonight was mostly catch-up, investigating, town stuff…and yet I did not get all that restless. (I am usually KILL KILL KILL.) #
@olyhillary I had game tonight, lots of fun! in reply to olyhillary #
@AncillaDeAzul you haven't seen xfiles before?! that is one of the touchstones of my college years. 🙂 (kids these days.) in reply to AncillaDeAzul #
