I went in to say goodnight… He is listening to Bon Jovi. Michelle tells me that last week he decided he was tired of his music collection, and had segregated most of the CD’s into a “too babyish” pile. So, Michelle told him to pay attention to the radio in the car and let her [...]
Was it really just 10 years ago that I held him for the first time and wondered to myself, what the hell do I do now? We are over 1/2 way to college, and only a couple of years from acne, girls, and all that fun stuff. He is having several friends over and we [...]
A local Fredericksburg area family appeared on the Dr. Phil show and is shocked and upset at how their family was portrayed on TV. Well, duh. I don’t know which is sadder; that they went on Dr. Phil looking for help, or that they watch the show everyday and were still surprised by how all [...]
I just upgraded from Firefox .7 to .8. In the words of Howard Dean, Yeeesssshhh. The speed improvement is quite noticeable. This is one blazing fast HTML rendering machine. (For the uninitiated – Firefox is the name of the next generation Mozilla. Technically, it’s still a technology preview and not ready for prime. I haven’t [...]
1. Open Your MP3 player 2. Put it in shuffle play mode 3. List the first ten songs it plays, no matter how embarrassing. OK, here we go. The Prisoner – Iron Maiden Serious Business – John Cougar Mellencamp Please Love Me – BB King Bad Boys of Rock N Roll – Twisted Sister Wild [...]
Sgt Striker on why he won’t vote for Kerry. Read it, and keep it in mind next time Senator Kerry, the haughty, french looking democrat, who by the way served in Vietnam, tries to use his service to deflect criticism of something he has done in the 30 years since.
Who knew that the Spice Girls were such Chris O’Donnell fans?
We lost 40-12. We finished the season 8-3. Defensively, it was a pretty good effort. We had no answer for their junk 3-2 zone / trap defense. It shouldn’t even be allowed at this age – but I’ve beat that dead horse enough around here. I had a great time, and the kids had a [...]
I’m just linking to this – check with Daryl for commentary. I’ve outsourced the tracking of VA homeschooling news to him. He always finds it before I do anyway!
This article purports that Monster.com and all the other job boards are a total waste of time. FWIW, here is how I found my last few jobs: 1996 – via posting on Usenet (misc.atl.jobs if I remember correctly) 1997 – sent email to President asking him if he wanted to grow sales 1998 – hiring [...]
Unofficial fan site for Boilermaker stud Brian “Citizen Pain” Cardinal, who is becoming a star in his 4th NBA season.
Ah, the sweet sweet smell of victory After finishing the season 6-2, we blew out our first round playoff opponent and had round 2 tonight. We were down 8-4 after the first quarter and 11-7 at the half. However, I told the kids at half time that if they played defense in the second half [...]
Should I be worried that I made an appearance in Ryan’s subconscious?
None of this will surprise my son, who has been a diehard Marlins fan since he first pulled on a Marlins t-shirt for the pee-wee league Marlins about 5 years ago. However, it could be a long baseball season in my house. If they get off to a bad start I will have to deal [...]
The upgrade to a mySQL back end seems to have gone well. If you notice anything not working please let me know. I also installed MTCloseComments. Comments are no longer accepted on posts over 45 days old. That will help a lot with comment spam as they seem to mainly target old posts. Update: It’s [...]
