Some dreams you grab hold and hang on for the ride

I'm riding my bicycle to work and back again today. I like that phrase, "back again." It's very Tolkien-esque. Speaking of good phrases, today's word of the day was "schadenfreude," pronounced "SHOD-n-froy-duh," a malicious satisfication in the misfortune of others. I've been looking for this word for a long time: it is how I feel when I bicycle past a long line of cars barely creeping along. I have a similar but not as strong feeling when I'm in the carpool lane passing traffic. Does that make me evil?

Some things are good to be left alone

Guest Artist: Sarah

My niece Sarah doodled this Horrible (this was her first one). She also titled it and went strong with the fart joke. I don't have the courage to go that strong.

I'm coming up from a light depression. I didn't even realize I was down until this morning. Work has been rather blah lately, and it took me until this morning to realize it was me. (I sometimes forget everything is about me.)

Julie's sister arrives tomorrow, followed by her other sister and parents this weekend. Lots more family adventures.
