Adding books to Calibre from my New Year's Eve shopping spree.

... My daughter's friends have arrived. I'll be staying out of the way.

Trying to come to terms with the realization that it's 2015 and that 2014 is gone forever.
Also I want to know where the flying cars are, according to the second movie "Back to the Future" they should be around by now...

Quexos , They were a bit optimistic about the flying cars sadly. I've been waiting for one since 1985 too

Think of traffic jams in three dimensions, and be careful what you wish for...

Trying to wake up. Yesterday felt like a Sunday, and since my weekend is normally Sunday/Monday my body needs a bit more time than usual to get going.

I'm working a full day instead of half a day because of the school vacation and we expect it to be busier than normal. I'll be glad when this week is over and everything get back to normal and I have time for myself again.

kindlekitten · 01-02-2015, 08:02 PM

ready to make some lasagna. A very good friend of mine passed away this last weekend very unexpectedly
I have been a friends with him and his wife for several years now. They were very active in the community and we worked on more than a few things together. My friend was a retired Naval Aviator, and the type of individual that embodied walk softly and carry a big stick .

We live in a small town and for whatever reason, long before I got involved, tempers were high and accusations would be lobbed around faster than spells at Hogwarts. My friend would just give a small knowing smile to those of us concerned with a slight nod of his head, and we all knew that everything would be ok. I envy those who served under him as his demeanor and wise words inspired confidence. The same way that I would be ready to boil over only to have him not only talk me down, but give me legitimate information to deal with.

Unfortunately this wonderful man was only 60. He was in very good health. He died of natural causes and the only thing that could have taken him faster would have been a bullet.

I salute you my fallen friend. You were a wise and Noble man

trichobezoar · 01-02-2015, 09:29 PM
