Having recently introduced my good pal, wordgeek, in my journal, it is now my heartfelt pleasure to introduce his charming wife, Mrs. Workgeek, aka Miss One Thousand Spring Blossoms, aka Circle de Cocinelles, or more simply, cocinelle. Mrs. W. is a spry little chicky who likes romantic movies, good books, speaking in foreign languages–both real […]

Be forewarned. I don’t know how to make the LJ link with the cool faceless head thingie beside it, so I’m just going to have to settle for a regular link. But, head or no head, everyone should know about a new livejournaler (who actually does have a head): wordgeek. Wordgeek is new to LJ

But I stumbled into my own user info today and found–much to my pleasant surprise–that three people had added me to their friend’s list!

I know I do. It’s here somewhere . . . probably under the piles of junk mail and catalogs. Or maybe stuffed in the back of my closet. I’ll just have to hunt it down. Yeah. So, Luke is gone. He’s a college guy, acting all collegy and everything. I’ve decided the best thing is
The church secretary called. She said the pastor wants me to do two songs at the end of the service this Sunday. “Did he specify any topic or type of song?” I asked. “No. Just whatever you want.” “Okay, so something like Smoke on the Waters . . . and then maybe Jungle Boogie?” “Yeah,
