Here's a post just to prove I'm not dead

Melissa says that I am absent from my writing.

Melissa also says that my writing is absent.

My posts are kind of like narratives of what I'm seen and heard; lately, I've bee busy so I really haven't seen or heard anything but my own doings. I don't write too much about my own doings because I think they are boring.

Today I cooked Chicken Marsala in my 14" All-Clad Saute Pan. See. Boring.

There is a box at my feet. In the box used to be 500 feet of category 5 network wire. Most of it is still left.

I should be reading a book or something. The one I'm reading most at the moment is written by Steve Earle and is entitled: "I'll Never Get Out Of This World Alive." Sometimes, I'm unimpressed with the way he describes things but I like reading it.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, MELISSA!!

Happy Birthday, Melissa.

I wish that I could give you the appropriate amount of birthday whacks.
