Poetic toast to 2002 Beaujolais Nouveau
And so it is time for our annual pilgrammage to La Bonne Souppe in Manhattan for fondue and Beaujolais Nouveau.
This isn't a tradition we started or even tried to perpetuate. We just noticed the other day that we've always managed to go there at this time of year and that we just happened to be planning a trip up next weekend (after Thanksgiving)... 11:39:06 PM
Weblog Systems
Blogroots has a good collection of blog systems and allows for reader reviews. I'm looking forward to more reviews appearing as I am seriously contemplating going from Radio Userland to Movable Type in the near future.

Did quark matter strike Earth?
Weird and somewhat creepy. This reminds me of an old James P. Hogan sci fi novel,
Thrice Upon a Time, which has always been one of my favorites. In it, a new fusion reactor is brought online for testing and accidentally creates millions of tiny "quantum" black holes. They fell through the earth and shoot out the other side. Then fall back in again and go back through, over and over losing momentum the way a pendulum would. Meanwhile the Earth is turning so the mischief caused by these things is impressive. How they deal with this I will not reveal except to say that the title has something to do with it. Hogan's not the best writer by any stretch, but his ideas are quite fun.

Squeeeeek No More
Here's the kit I need. Hopefully I can find this in a local store (Home Depot or other) so I don't have to buy it online and wait the shipping time.
The culprit is our bedroom floor. It's a large area and it's noisy. And we're always tiptoeing around it so as to not wake Jack up. 7:20:44 AM
Fixing a Squeaky Floor
This is my weekend project. If I can find the kit I need. Lowes didn't have it for some strange reason. Home Depot! Here I come! (There are times when I just love being a homeowner -- when really big shit happens and I start dumping scads of money into something, I'm sure I'll feel differently).
