So, just what did male enhancement product companies do before the Internet was invented? Hold Tupperware or Avon-type meetings at someone’s house?

Downtown makes me a TV star
On the way to the street to unload a coworker’s car a few moments ago, I got interviewed by WTVD reporter Tim Nelson about the drought and whether the city’s done an adequate job letting people know about Stage 2 restrictions taking effect tomorrow. He was asking if the city’s full-page ad about water restrictions was “buried” at the back of today’s the N&O’s business section. I basically told him you’d have to be under a rock if you didn’t know about the upcoming restrictions.

Be My Love
Happy Valentine’s Day! I love the spooky, carnivalesque feel to this song.
Be My Love
Cracker
Garage D’or
I dream a white bright light
In endless fevered night
A birdwing brush across my back, you say to me
You could be my love

Hunt for perfect sleep goes on
I’m up earlier than usual this morning because the sound and pressure of my teeth grinding woke me out of a sound sleep. Over the last few years, my dental hygienist has spotted the damage, first attributing it to a bad habit of chewing ice but deciding last week that I must grind my teeth in my sleep. She showed me the visibly flat edge I’ve worn into my incisors. Yikes.

A nibble on the house?
Kelly tells me this morning that an agent called about the house this morning! She wants to look at it in the morning on behalf of her client, so we’re going to be busy tonight!

On board with Obama
Kelly and I kicked in a few bucks to Barack Obama’s campaign this weekend. I know it seems we’re piling onto the bandwagon but I said way back in September that he’d likely get my vote.
I used to respect John McCain after reading about how he conducted himself as a POW and how he’s defied death a half-dozen times. Too bad he sold out in the 2004 election. And anyone who considers Joe Lieberman a friend is suspect right from the get-go.
Hillary Clinton …. well, we just won’t go there.
Sleep study summary
As promised, here is my sleep report.
Sleep report
This page doesn’t show my apnea scores. I’ll get more info from Dr. Garside on this because I neglected to ask him for them.
Apnea is ‘nap’ in pig-Latin
Well, the results of my recent sleep study are back. Though I felt I slept rather peacefully that night, my doctor says I have sleep apnea. I’ve got the mildest case, apparently, but its there.
My options now are
- Wear a CPAP mask during sleep (noisy and uncomfortable)
- Wear a mandibular advancement splint during sleep (quiet and somewhat less uncomfortable)
- Have my tonsils removed (short term pain for long-term gain. Solves problem.)
- Do nothing
Cheap Thoughts: ‘Falls’ sounds just too pessimistic
Would it help if Raleigh renamed its water source Rises Lake?
Great Raleigh home for sale
Among the many, many things Kelly and I accomplished today for moving is crafting a flyer and website for our home. I just finished the website, GreatRaleighHome.com, and posted an ad on Craigslist. Tomorrow we’ll put the sign in the yard and figure out where other signs might be needed.
Once again, if you know of anyone needing a fantastic house, send ’em my way!
