Daily Reminder
I’ve hung this Calvin and Hobbes comic in my office for more than twenty years. Now that I don’t have an office, it will live on in various electronic forms as a daily reminder to find the joy and the fun in the little things. We are all making it up as we go…might as well dance on the bed!
Enjoy!

Jealous Car
Yes, I’ve mentioned it before, I love my Prius. It’s a great car and I’m not ashamed to say it. I love the cool technology and the pleasant ride, and I love the great mileage. It is a terrific car.
But, I do love, lust after, and dream of the Porsche 911. Yes, it’s Porsche, like Portia.
What a lovely car.

Catbird Is An Actual Bird
Catbird is an actual bird!
“The catbird seat” is an idiomatic phrase used to describe an enviable position, often in terms of having the upper hand or greater advantage in all types of dealings among parties.
According to Douglas Harper’s Online Etymological Dictionary, the phrase refers to the Gray Catbird and was used in the 19th century in the American South.

Apartment Living
Yeah! I’m finally getting settled in the new place. Moving is exhausting. Mostly mental, but exhausting none the less.
I haven’t lived in an apartment since my early Navy days in Virginia. I shared an apartment with a Navy buddy in Virginia Beach. We were noisy! To be honest, I don’t remember much about the complex, just the apartment. I don’t know if we had lots of neighbors, and if the raucous we created caused problems.

Cigar Boxes
I use a lot of index cards at work, and wanted something to toss them into. The idea of a cigar box came up, and a little searching, I found a seller on Etsy that sells lots of excellent cigar boxes in great shape. Blissfuldragonfly took care of the transaction quickly and I couldn’t be more happy with the result. I bought a lot of five, and now have really nice landing spots for index cards, pens, and stray motorcycle patches I don’t know what to do with.

I don’t know the reasons, but I agree with what others have said, the show has been sliding, and Dan’s response is all class.
I would ask for more The Incomparable, Back to Work, Amplified, Build and Analyze, Hypercritical, The Ihnatko Almanac, Mac Power Users….but I can’t keep up now!
(Odd, I always assumed Roderick on the Line was on 5by5. Should be…dang funny show.)
5by5.tv has some of the best darn shows in the internet. Thanks!
