For most of the first two years that he knew me, my father-in-law pretended not to be able to remember my name.  Of course, I was obligated to return the favor and that is how he picked up the nickname, “Randy.”

Hedwig’s Theme - John Williams

The only leitmotif from the original film to appear in all of the sequels.  I am drinking coffee and getting the music ready for Finn’s birthday party. I can’t believe she is going to be ten on Monday.

…by taking advantage of similar four-trace, differential SerDes transmit and receive signals, the NonStop signal midplane can support either network-semantic protocols or memory-semantic protocols using the same signal traces.

You All Everybody - Drive Shaft

I have given up on Drive Shaft a half dozen times at least after repeatedly growing weary of their antics, but I know when Tuesday comes, I will be there standing in line, waiting for the new one to drop.  Don’t screw it up Drive Shaft!

Men at Forty

by Donald Justice

Men at forty
Learn to close softly
The doors to rooms they will not be   
Coming back to.

At rest on a stair landing,
They feel it moving
Beneath them now like the deck of a ship,   
Though the swell is gentle.

And deep in mirrors
They rediscover
The face of the boy as he practices tying   
His father’s tie there in secret,

And the face of that father,
Still warm with the mystery of lather.
They are more fathers than sons themselves now.   
Something is filling them, something

That is like the twilight sound
Of the crickets, immense,
Filling the woods at the foot of the slope   
Behind their mortgaged houses.

icosahedral interdimensional gateway
During a lunchtime ramble through the streets surrounding the ice cream factory, my friend and I happened upon this strangely illuminated polyhedral structure.  All too well, I know the dangers such structures pose, and I warned my companion to approach it with caution, but he could not resist the lure of the unknown.  As he climbed into the seat suspended at its center, I readied my camera to document his achievement, but before I could trigger the shutter, he was gone. After waiting around for a moment, I had to walk back to the ice cream factory alone.  I probably would have waited around longer to see if he rematerialized, but it isn’t a great neighborhood, and there was going to be some post-lunch birthday cake back in the break room that I didn’t want to miss.  If he isn’t back by Monday, I will let someone know.
The girls want to see it now, and I will eventually give in and take them, but I will tie a rope on them or something before I let them climb into it.
