Guns, Glass and Garters: Or How to Make $12 on a Friday Night

How often does someone send you home with a garter and some crystal when you finish a date?  On second thought, don't answer that.

When Fritz asked me to marry him a few weeks ago, <swoon>, I'm not sure he was prepared to deal with my sudden transformation into a crazed penny pincher.

Watercolors or The Hunt for Brushes

Right up there, in the header, it says The Adventures of Two Multipotentialites on a Budget.  It says it, hanging heavy over every word I write, and I think "go away."

Being a multipotentialite is different for everybody.  For some, it means reading everything.  For others, it means learning to fly drones while SCUBA diving.  You know, just not at the same time.  That would be dumb.  For Cynthia, it means practice.  Actual measured practice in a structured manner.  For me, a large part of learning something new is the collection of tools.  Whatever I'm working on, I need the tools for that job.  Now, this may sound like a bit of a hoarding problem.  Not so!  In a lot of cases, after having gotten moderately good at something, I've sold or given away the tools involved.  What am I going to do with a bunch of capacitors and diodes now that can build simple electronics.  Nothing, that's what.  So out it goes.
