anon
anon a·non [uh-non] adverb
1. in a short time; soon.
2. at another time.
3. Archaic. at once; immediately.
Idioms
4. ever and anon, now and then; occasionally.
I don't think I've ever read this word except in older writings/books and I certainly don't hear it used in speech; people say "Now!" or "PDQ" or as another definition: "Later, dude."
Anon is not to be confused with anonymous, meaning of unknown name; whose name is withheld ... although when someone posts an inflammatory comment in a forum or message board, anonymous people show up and fan the flames anon.

Not sure why these countdown timers/calendar scripts don't work in a post - I think they conflict with the calendar script at the top of the page. It WILL work in another column (probably because it's in a separate "wrapper") and there's a Cowboys training camp countdown just below the Cowboys module in the right-hand column. I'll take it down when training camp starts - and *maybe* put up another for when the regular season starts.
I hope I can then put up another one for when Dallas will be in the Super Bowl...and hope it will be this next one, but the way things have been going with the 'Boys...well, I'm not sure that much coding for that length of time would fit in a Blogger blog.

The Train Oracle
| You Are Smart and Stable |
 You love concrete information. You are definitely a just the facts type of person. You feel most comfortable when you understand what's expected of you. You appreciate structure. You enjoy reading, especially nonfiction. You can get lost in books and magazines. You are family oriented. Some of your best memories revolve around the family dinner table. |
Not so sure about smart and stable, but some of my best memories DO revolve around the family dinner table...not because of the family per se, but because of the food! My mom was a pretty good cook; when I was a kid, I ate at classmate's houses and only a few of the meals I had were as good as those my mom had prepared.
My mom also canned a lot and many times when I was a kid during the summer and "starving", momma would let me go down into the deliciously cool cellar and open up a jar of her delicious canned tomatoes. She also would pickle okra and she and a family friend would sit at the kitchen table and eat a jar or two while their husbands were out in the garage working on something. I really miss her pickled beets - I wouldn't touch them when I was a kid, but one time a slice got put on my plate by accident and some of the juice got on something else and I ate a bit without realizing it. Wow, that was great and I was hooked on them ever since. Store-bought are OK, I guess, but not nearly as good as the ones momma made...they were probably both made with similar recipes, but the ones my mom made had love for her family mixed in.
