Catching Up
It’s been a while since I’ve written much. I ended up being sent on a last-minute business trip to Huntsville the week of April 19th. Term papers and final projects were due for my college classes last week. I just got back from a business trip to Orlando this week. Finished the last of my [...]
What a Beautiful Spring Morning
Today is my day off, so I’m sitting here in the office with the window open, catching up on college homework and email. I’ll probably play Anno Venice at some point too. The dishwasher is running and I’ll get some laundry done too, later on. We just took a power hit, which did not make [...]

Critters ‘n Gasoline n’ Other Stuff
We spent Father’s Day weekend with John’s parents. It was a nice weekend; pretty hot though. When we got back, my Gas Price Barameter (a family-owned non-branded service station), who had held their ground at $3.99 for weeks while every other station in town hit $4+, had hit $4.03 for a gallon of regular unleaded.
