Well I just saw in the paper that another one of my exes died.  
He was from back when I was a teen though.  
Funny I had just been thinking about him because of the relation to the girl I don’t know who posted pics of me and my family on Facebook  
Not that they were related but it all goes back to the past.

I will tell the story but not today.

That’s okay, the finger I cut Monday stopped bleeding yesterday and then decided to start bleeding again when I took a shower today.

I tried to crochet but I was all thumbs. I’m going to go stab things with swords online instead.

That made me laugh perhaps way more than it should have made me laugh.

Home from the Agape supper over to the church house. 'Twas wonderful. Some good veggie soup and veggie chili plus aig sallit and pimento cheese sammiches. Oh and wine. Here’s a link to our church newsletter [The Shamrock](http://stpatricksalbany.org/St._Patricks_Episcopal_Church/Home_files/THE%20SHAMROCK%20Jan%202013.pdf) which contains a blurb that explains what it is that makes for an Agape supper. If you need anymore info, well, google it.

Now I think I shall go lie upon the bed and watch me some teevee until sleepy time.

Nitey Nite Y’all!

Oooh, I’d love to see the Space Station. I have a notification set up, but I generally see the email when it’s too late, of course. Eventually, it will work out. Right now, there’s a Canadian astronaut on the station who’s really good at communicating and is an excellent photographer. He’s also a musician and somewhere there’s a video of him and Barenaked Ladies performing a song he wrote (yes, him on the ISS and Ladies somewhere in an auditorium). [Here’s his Twitter profile.](https://twitter.com/Cmdr_Hadfield) You can easily find his FB page and other stuff from there.

Busy week. I’ve been following along, just barely. Hope they manage to resolve the sequester before it actually hits.

I can tell you the second plant is definitely a begonia, lieu, but I really don’t know what the other one is. The leaves look kind of like orchid leaves, but the flowers definitely don’t look like them. Nice orchids, by the way, **flytrap**.

I found the boards after a friend told me that he read Cecil’s columns regularly. I took a look at them, got distracted by the link to the forums, and was fascinated. Took me a while to get brave enough to post, and a bit longer than that to figure out this MMP thing. 🙂

There was more, but I’ve forgotten…

Back later.

Hugs.

Try this[link.](http://spaceweather.com/flybys/)

Is the Canadian astronaut the guy William Shatner called up, asked if he were on the space station, and the guy responded, “There are life signs on the surface, Captain.”?
