What’s that line about the one-legged man in an ass-kicking contest? Or was it the long-tailed cat in a room full of rocking chairs? Regardless of the cheesy analogy, I’ve been slammed at work over the past few days. My boss is out of town and so is one of my designers. Funny enough, this [...]

“It is of interest to note that while some dolphins are reported to have learned English — up to fifty words used in correct context — no human being has been reported to have learned dolphinese.” – Carl Sagan

OK, I think I found the design I like for the blog. It seems the only down side for this design is the print view isn’t all that pretty. I’m working to fix that with a print style sheet, but it may take a little time to get that looking good. It’s been a rainy [...]

My, what a tiny sombrero on that dog! It took Justine and I several attempts to get this tiny hat on Queenie. It stayed on her head for nearly 3-4 seconds per attempt. The photos above are the fruits of our labor. – Dave

Queenie and I are holding down the fort here at Above the Aether World Headquarters while Justine is doing a little traveling for work. Queenie has a very difficult life of lounging, eating, pooping and licking herself. If she were writing a resume she would list all these skills at expert level. Then again, we [...]

For those of you interested in what to get me for my birthday…I give you this link. I’d like blue flames painted on the side of mine, however. UPDATE: The evening’s festivities 2/13 Justine, my wonderful fiance whose eyebrows are freshly waxed and tender, took me out for dinner at the Cafe Montrose (a Belgian [...]

Justine and I both resemble this young lady in the photo above. We’ve been fighting the same cold for several days now (nearly a week for me). I hate being sick. -Dave

Hello cats and kittens! It was a fairly quiet, lowkey evening last night.  I donned my customary ensemble of pointy-toed high heels and pajamas and sat on the couch reading Carl Hiaasen.  Later on Dave made me a blue cheese olive-stuffed vodka martini, and let me assure you that it was fantastic.  We watched some [...]

Picture, if you will, crazed and glassy-eyed throngs of holiday zombies driving gigantic SUVs and lumbering for a single narrow parking space between a Jaguar and a BMW 7 series. Somehow, le-mum-du-football is backing up her Chevy Suburban like she has a CDL and is used to handling the big rigs. Her kids are sedated [...]

After a week or so of primping, Justine has finally declared the tree “finished.” There are more bows on this tree than in Richard Simmons’ doll collection. Seriously. -Dave
