T-243 : Game Waiting

I have trouble waiting for my turn in board games. Does anyone share this issue with me? What are some of the ways you cope?

Review: Miss Hickory

Miss Hickory by Carolyn Sherwin Bailey

My rating: 2 of 5 stars



What an odd story about a twig lady who eventually ends up part of a tree again. If you read this explain to me the part about the Christmas Eve in the barn.

T-244 : Sweat Equitous

Which does this describe for you, your body or your house?  For me I'm going to say my body.  I already have membership in the gym by virtue of being an employee at BYU-Idaho.  I usually partake of the benefit during my lunch break.  Lately I've been walking the treadmill on an incline of 15 degrees at about 3.5 miles per hour.  It might not seem much to you but it makes me sweat.  I figure if I can sweat for 30 minutes that's a pretty good barometer.  I think I'm going to try to drop that extra 15 pounds this year, too.  Pre-holidays I weighed in at 180.  I haven't weighed for a few days so I might be a bit above that.  I'm confident that I can  I can get there, though.  I challenge you.  What are you going to work on?

T-245 : Clue Less

Sometimes I'm just as clueless as this guy.  It wasn't until just a couple of years ago that I learned that the word "misled" wasn't in fact pronounced ma-ee-zulled but instead mih-sled.  I'm pretty good at some other parts of life, though.

If you have moments that you interact with me and feel like one of these detectives - including if you've had these experiences with me in the past - please let me know.  

T-246 : Resolution Recommital

Last year I started off my T-365 Project; committing to make a blog posting to represent each day of the year, even if I got 2 one day and none the next.  In the end I only got to 247 (meaning I only made 118 posts).  This year I'm going to try again.  In fact I'm simply going to extend my deadline.  I'll finish this marathon, by darn!  What are some of your resolutions?  I plan to make a couple more, even though 1/1 is almost over.  

T-247 : Thor Go?

I'd never seen Thor in any different location than in the center of the walkway on the north side of the Hart Building facing away from the windows.  Due to a recent remodeling of that area to add more chairs and end tables he's now -- temporarily, I hope -- stuck in a corner.  Do you know Thor and/or have any feelings for him?
