You Can Always Tell… …when I am trying to just find some filler or it’s been a slow day in the old thought factory because I start posting news blurbs. Actually I have always done that but with the newsroom stuff like the immigration raid story I get a tiny but per read. Not much,…Read more

Time for a Little Nappy Nap…
Still haven’t heard from the Boy yet but the Wife spoke with his recruiter today, who told her that sometimes it is a pretty large group and they just run out of time to call parents at the beginning but that he should have time to call later this week. I don’t even know what…Read more
Needing a New Car…
I am crossing my fingers and hoping the Oldsmobile makes it through the rest of the summer with all of the driving that I am doing. It is 13 years old and has over 200k miles on it, needs a serious tune-up, and the Auto air conditioning doesn’t work. That is the only part I…Read more
Done In…
One thing I have noticed since I made the change that sped up commenting is that it is also re-indexing MUCH MUCH faster. It used to take about three or four minutes just to post an entry and that was on a good day. Now it’s more like 40 seconds. SWEET. I am very happy…Read more
Memorial Day Weekend…
Unfortunately while all of you folks are going to be out having cookouts and picnics, playing sports and boating, I get to work 🙁 Just par for the course I suppose. I did schedule myself an easy weekend though, at least I hope so. One of the days I am going to have to work…Read more
Stumbling Around…
I am particularly groggy this morning. Enough to where I have to use spellcheck. I didn’t sleep worth a crap. The four year old crawled into bed at some point and it’s all elbows and assholes everywhere. I may have gotten three hours of sleep all together and I can feel it this morning. Maybe…Read more
My Last Duchess
The Boy and his friends made this for a school project. Had to seriously compress it to upload it to youtube so the quality is not quite as good as it should be but the intent is still there. I suppose if they were in a school near Chicago they would all be in jail…Read more
New Orleans
I love going to New Orleans. I have been many times since I was about sixteen in the company of friends on short road trips, to conventions, and this last time in the Spring of 2005 with the wife. I have already posted these photos at least once, but I love the architecture in the…Read more
Temple Tigers Lose 18-0
Just damn -If I could put a little copyright sign here I would 🙂 Pete’s softball team is down to eight players now. Just the minimum to play. There were some issues earlier in the season with the coaching and several of the parents, us included, complained about it to the Mayor as well as…Read more
Day Off
This has probably been the least amount I have posted in months. I worked for awhile on my template, moving the sidebar to the right hand side of the page, which was more of a pain in the ass than it would seem. I’ve found that using the divs in CSS is screwy in some…Read more
