the project i was planning on working on today won't come in until late this evening. i may take the day off today.

it looks like a deer or some other animal ran into our swimming pool filter apparatus. it is so dry around here they  may have been attracted to the pool and then bolted over the fence and knocked down the device. did a lot of damage. pool guy will come to check it tomorrow.

tripped over the cat going down stairs. third time in about 10 months. really twisted my knee this time.

i watched the first half of the kite runner. will try to watch the 2nd half tomorrow.

watched about half of the vt/bsu game. vt leading when i stopped watching. can't really guess who is likely to win. bsu appears to be having trouble with the humidity. it's 43%. 43% is a joke. it would normally be something like 70% at this time of year.

we watched a couple of episodes from the first season of mad about you. paul's best pal in the first season is someone named selby. i don't remember him at all. apparently he was only in the first 10 to 15 episodes. looks like mad about you ran from 92 to 99. i probably haven't seen an episode in about 5 yrs. the first two episodes were pretty funny but already the annoying aspects of the show are apparent.
