Hey All

Well, the New Year is underway, and while it's still way too early to
be able to tell how things are going to go, I am confident that this
will be a good year. Perhaps it has something to do with the current
political climate, you know, theDems being mostly in charge and stuff, but I have the feeling that there will be a lot to like this year.

In other news, our bathroom ceiling is about to fall in, again. The roof
on our apartment building is flat and when it rains a large pool
gathers and then leaks in through our bathroom ceiling. We've got mold
spots bigger than silver dollars! I took pictures of the ceiling and
sent them along with our rent but we've heard nothing back from our
land-lady. The other night it was practically raining in our bathroom
so I suppose we'd better actually give her a call.

Jessica and I went to the New Year's Eve party at the Space Needle this year and it
was cool. Since Jess and I moved in together on January 1st, we like to
say that the city of Seattle puts on a very nice fireworks display for
our anniversary, anyway, while we've watched the show from a popular
spot across the highway several times, we've never joined the teeming
throng at Seattle Center before. The traffic, the crowds, you
know...but this year there was a Sonics game on New Year's Eve and I
was gonna be there anyway, so we decided Jess would meet me there. It
was a good time! We had an excellent view of the Space Needle and I
took some great pics and video with Jess' new digital camera.

The job with the Sonics goes well. I think I finally have the hang of
what's going on there. It's not like going to a Monday through Friday
gig and that made training difficult, but it's all good now. I need to
find out if my employment contract extends through Storm season. The
Storm is Seattle'sWNBA team. Speaking of the Storm, I worked a seat
selection event where folks holding season tickets for the upcoming
Storm season got to come in and pick which seats they wanted. Now I had
always heard that most of theWNBA's fans were lesbians, but never knew
whether or not it was true. It's true. I saw so many female couples
coming to pick out their seats. I suppose it shouldn't come as any big
surprise that the lesbian ladies like the female players, I just wonder
whether that's true across the country, or whether its just a Seattle
thing. Straight men and gay men have all the other sports, so why
shouldn't the lesbians have a sport they can get in to?

So I guess that's all I've got for now. I promise to try and write more in the coming New Year.

Bob Newhart - Comic Genius Passes Away

 A true comic genius has passed away today. One of the first comedy albums I remember listening to as a child is "The Button-Down Mind of Bob Newhart." His most famous shtick was the telephone conversation where the audience hears only his end of the call. The most famous and best of this is the " Introducing Tobacco to Civilization " skit.

Math Anxiety

I don't normally blog my school experiences, but I just found out today that I have to take more math. I thought I was done with math, but now I find out I have two more classes to take. I am so upset I can't hardly breath. I am so math phobic it's not funny. No, really, it's not funny. I have anxiety attacks in math class. I start to sweat and sometimes I literally start to shake. Years ago when working on my philosophy degree, I had to take logic and did relatively well. And I get so tired of having people tell me that since I did well in logic, I should do well in math. Well, it doesn't work that way, at least not for me. Otherwise (meaning except for the math) things go well. I am actually ahead in my Cisco class, primarily because I didn't take any math this quarter, and my Net Security class is a breeze. Fucking math! Whose ideas is/was it that one has to be a math whiz in order to work with computers?!
