What American accent do you have? Your Result: The Midland   "You have a Midland accent" is just another way of saying "you don't have an accent." You probably are from the Midland (Pennsylvania, southern Ohio, southern Indiana, southern Illinois, and Missouri) but then for all we know you could be from Florida or Charleston or one of those big southern cities like Atlanta or Dallas. You have a good voice for TV and radio.

And guess who this is doing you know what?

And this is my tiny little sweet Foxy resting in a recycled plastics bowl.
(That's right, I said plastics. There are many plastics involved. Back off)

All that rain is okay when I picture me playing in the ocean just a few weeks ago.

It is raining, and we still have one payment left on the canoe.
Wondering why this might matter? Here is a photo of my backyard when it is not raining.
That is the yogini doing the hard work.



Here is my backyard today.

Puerto Vallarta no mas.
Back to 7 degrees and car won't start at the Park n Fly.
Then the heat wouldn't come on in the house home at 3am.
Heading for Columbus in less than 24 hours.
Is Columbus like Mexico?

Bad blogging by Skycat.
Leaving for Mexico in 10 hours.
Adios snow.

I don't like that last post taking up all that room on the top of my blog, so....
IT'S ALMOST MY BIRTHDAY!!!
I love my birthday. This year, the Yogini and I will be 38 together. Her number is 3 and mine is 8, and I think that's cool. It won't happen again until we are 83 which is 45 years from now. And as you may have figured out, that is more than a lifetime away. Freaking awesome. And Pluto (still a planet in my eyes) is in my court for like the next 15 years.
Damn.
My birthday plans changed when we got ourselves a January thaw and it was over 60 degrees out today. So, skiing, no. But, I am meeting Mountain Girl at Kent State tomorrow and we're going ice skating. Then to Taco Tontos. Then to see a movie. I feel 16, except happier and luckier and considerably older.
