The Worst Person in the World just came in my mailbox.

Let me rephrase that! Please!

The Worst Person in the World by Keith Olbermann arrived in today's post.

Thanks, [livejournal.com profile] ladycrim, my Whoser Secret Santa!

A day of firsts!

One of the firsts was fun, the other not so much fun but amusing in its own way.

The first first: I went down to Galveston today, and rode the Galveston-Bolivar ferry. For a short while, a pair of dolphins were swimming alongside the ferry. Yay! My first wild dolphin sighting. Geek info: The ferry travels at a breakneck 11 mph (9 1/2 knots).

The second first: Memorandum to the staff at Fuddruckers: The fact that I do have a few gray hairs does not automatically entitle me to the senior discount, thankyouverymuch. (I did enjoy saving 10% at dinner, though.)

Note to anyone interested: Wayne Brady will be at L'Auberge du Lac on January 11. ... Just checked, and it's a Thursday. Won't be able to make it. Oh, well, it's not like I haven't seen him before.

All is once again well in technology land

After a visit to the bank (and, I think, a PIN reset) my ATM card is working once again.

Next project: Wiring my Sirius radio into my home stereo.

Small victories

I won $20 on the penny slots today at Delta Downs. That just about covered the gas it took to get there.
