1:49 PM on a Saturday Afternoon
Sitting at my computer desk, covered head to toe in old soda. I was dumb enough to take recycling over to the recycle place on one of the windiest days of the year. Not only did I find that nearly half of the cans of soda still contained soda, I also found that the wind was prone to shifting so that no matter what I did it would blow the horrible stuff in my face. I hate recycling.
Checking football scores now and then hopping in the shower. My second of the day if anyone is counting. When I got home I found the wood guy had visited, so I have this feeling that I’ll be throwing wood down the hill in the morning so if I actually GO ON VACATION this week, my father won’t be out there trying to throw it.
Yes, with a heart condition, a tube in his throat to breathe, asthma, high blood pressure and nearly everything else, if I’m not home for 2 minutes he’ll be out there “trying to help.” Well, that’s the story he’ll give in the emergency room anyway.
In other news, I have this feeling that the folks on the Screen Savers are trying to drive me insane. LOL. I’ve been flipping a lot lately because they put Sienfeld up against the screen savers, so I end up watching the replay of the screen savers a lot. So last night as I was flipping, well, I noticed Martin in a skirt. Then Patrick said something about it being Michaela’s skirt and … I think I’m going insane. 🙂
Thanks guys and gals.
Last night we hit 96 episodes. We’ll probably hit 100 sometime next week and then, space permitting, we’ll keep going for as long as we can. I may end up putting season one and two back on the old AOL Hometown site down the line in order to make room for new strips. I never thought we’d make it this far. I thought I’d retire after 50, but here we are in the middle of October and I have stories to tell. So as long as you’re out there reading, I’ll be here putting them out. So let me know you’re out there and sign the guest book, dammit!
Kudos to those who noticed the homages in the past few strips. I’ve been sneaking them in here and it’s great to know folks are paying attention. I still have no clue what Episode 100 will be like but to all of those Heather fans out there — a SPOILER WARNING … (if you don’t want to read it, just page down to “end spoiler space.”)

She’s not dead. But the only actual footage I had of her had Trip Hawkins in it. I have a way to work around it but … umm, dear Heather, if you’re out there, if you ever wanted to SEND ME VIDEO, now’s the time to contact me!

On that note, I’m now smelling like old diet Pepsi. Take care all,
