7 June, 2009. OK, take two. So, how you doin’? Anyone with me still in their RSS, please comment. Me, I’ve been fine. Let’s see, my last real post, not counting Cubs angst…around a year ago…hmm, not as bad as I’d thought. Too much has happened for a wordy catch-up post. The bullet list of major recent changes:. Got back with Reaganite, shacked up, moved to new neighborhood, downsized cats to one. Left job/career/identity of 10 years for new job/career/identity. More work-life balance observations/griping.

the five-second rule | The Latest Obsession
https://latestobsession.wordpress.com/2009/06/29/the-five-second-rule
29 June, 2009. From this NYT blog post. 11 Food quickly picked up from the floor is safe to eat. Scientists have put the commonly-cited five-second rule to the test. They found that food that comes into contact with a tile or wood floor does pick up large amounts of bacteria. Food doesn’t pick up many germs when it hits carpet, but it does pick up carpet fuzz. It cracks me up to read serious debunkings of this “rule.” It’s a JOKE, people! It always has been! 8 July, 2009 at 11:58 pm. What Not To Crochet.

good deed for the day | The Latest Obsession
https://latestobsession.wordpress.com/2009/06/15/good-deed-for-the-day
Good deed for the day. 15 June, 2009. Downtown I was, pre-dentist, grabbing a quick sandwich at a quick-sandwich place, when something green caught my eye. A table over from me was a young woman with long blonde hair. A law student summer intern if I’ve ever seen one. Her skirt suit was new, a young fabric and retro cut yet conservative enough to work in even a stodgy law firm. Hey, audience participation! Ladies and smart men, what’s in your emergency kit? Pencil, pen, laser-pointer USB pen. Note this i...

A first | The Latest Obsession
https://latestobsession.wordpress.com/2009/06/21/a-first
21 June, 2009. I finished the Sunday NYT crossword puzzle! I finished one once before, but it took a few days of revisits. I am pretty psyched about this. Growing up, the Sunday puzzles (NYT and the Chicago papers) were a family affair. My mom and I would work on one until we got stuck, and then we’d swap. (We’d ask my stepdad for sports clues, but the answer we got depended on his mood–he is prone to making things up. Thanks for giving me the right answer today, though! Now to read the, you know, news.

it’s that time of year again | The Latest Obsession
https://latestobsession.wordpress.com/2009/07/16/its-that-time-of-year-again
It’s that time of year again. 16 July, 2009. The Cubs are in town. This year they are here for four whole games, which is a lot to attend (two is no problem, three is a bit much). I haven’t done four in a while. OTOH, 3/4 of them are at night, which is not true for weekend four-game series in Wrigley. So I got that going for me. Less heatstroke. I don’t buy tix in advance in DC. I show up, decide how much to spend, and spend it. It feels so reckless to show up without tickets! 1) I made a “baseball...
