The good, the bad & the ugly.

Speed.  The topic of this week’s:

THE GOOD:  A dry lakebed in the Nevada desert.  A couple miles across, you can get some good speed up, and short of rolling the car, there’s not much that could go bad.

THE BAD: Along the Shafer Canyon Road in Canyonlands National Park.  A very bad place to speed.

THE UGLY: A plane that probably was going too fast and tried to stop too quick when the Moab Airport runway ended.

Pelicorn.

Imaginary equine meets odd looking bird.  Romance ensues and even odder offspring are the result.  Only in the mind of a junior high school kid does this make sense.  And only in the mind of this kid would it make sense to ask me to put it up in the background of the morning announcements for all to see.

So what does that say about me, since I did put it up?  And now I’m putting it on here, for all to see: The Pelicorn.

And on Valentine’s day, all I got was one rose with this note attached:

And all my English teacher friends should be happy to see that this person correctly wrote “you are” as “you’re”, not “your”. 

It’s been quite a week.

Interplanetary

I made the mistake(?) of visiting one of my writer friends blogs, which ended up costing me an hour of my time, and probably more in the future.

She stumbled upon a website where you can design your own sci-fi pulp fiction magazine cover. (See her post here).

I had to go check it out and, it being February, came up with this cover:

If you have the time, check it out.  Clicking on the picture will take you there.

T-3, and counting.

3 days until Parent/Teacher conferences, and I come down with a cold.  Bleah!

Here’s to spending the weekend in bed so I can be as close to 100% as possible for next week.
