Mount Gay Rum

Saturday, July 19th, 2008

Last night we went out to Score Bar in Columbus. There we were treated to prizes and free rum drinks from our Pride group at work, and Mount Gay Rum. I have to say I’m not a rum drinker, Vodka drinks or Guinness are my first choices when it comes to beverages of [...]

My HOMO SEX IS IN t-shirt was a smashing success at the gay pride parade today - yeah me ;)  I almost didn’t wear it - wasn’t feeling all that up to standing out in the crowd - but decided last minute to go ahead and wear the thing - and I’m glad I did [...]

Sirius customer service - from bad to good

Wednesday, April 30th, 2008

My Sirius Stiletto 10 radio, has this lousy habit of stuttering, and then rebooting itself. I’ve only had it since March, when I decided to get it to replace my sturdy S50. When I first set it up, I dutifully installed the Sirius Studio software, and upgraded the firmware on the SL10 to [...]

A Pretty Good Nation

Wednesday, April 23rd, 2008

My day started out with Charlie telling me that Hillary got her magic 10% victory. I should have taken that cue, and went back to bed and just stayed there. But, I’m an optimist, and so I take the news in stride and continue with my plans for the day, Charlie makes me [...]

High & Tight

Saturday, March 29th, 2008

I’ve pretty much worn the same hair style for… oh a long long time now - don’t make me quantify it with a number. It’s just so much easier to deal with hair when you don’t have much of it to deal with. The grey creeps in quicker these days, and I [...]

Spring is … springing

Thursday, March 13th, 2008

It’s melting … the snow that is, and it’s almost time to get the motorcycle out - after all the price of gasoline isn’t getting any lower … ugh.  The weather was beautiful today - but I was stuck in training all day - although the trainer took us all out for Mexican food for [...]

For the love of …. dogs

Monday, March 10th, 2008

So the day starts out all nice and normal, and I didn’t get stuck in the driveway with the remaining snow on the road as I trekked to my training this morning.

Snow day!

Sunday, March 9th, 2008

Had fun shooting some footage of the snow and Rocky yesterday with the new Sony camcorder - I took some screen captures for this montage - still figuring out how to clip the movies in iMovie to create a little youtube-ish video for the blog.
Shoveling has been a pain in the back, and more to [...]

We’re under a Blizzard watch

Friday, March 7th, 2008

Yee ha!  The snow has been falling almost all day - it did let up this evening, but is supposed to resume falling overnight.  Mind you it’s nothing like we used to get back in Western New York, but I’ll take it.  And to call it a Blizzard is a pretty big stretch in my [...]

Happy Days Are Here Again

Wednesday, November 8th, 2006

Thanks everyone for turning out to turn this Government around in it’s tracks, and stop the culture of corruption, by reinstating the Constitutional checks and balances that by their very nature help to prevent the abuses of power we’ve seen these past years from the Bush Administration.My cellphone ringer is now set to play the [...]

Delaware Pumpkin Run 5K - Year 3

Saturday, October 21st, 2006

This race seems to be one of my better races - last year I had a new PR at 27 minutes even. This year, after I ran the Race for Hope at 30:14 three weeks ago, I decided I needed to get serious about training. I’ve been running on the treadmills at work [...]

Race for Hope 5K

Sunday, October 1st, 2006

Ran the Race for Hope 5k at Griggs Reservoir this morning. Ran this race last year for the first time, and since it’s literally across the river from my house, I felt a little obligated to run it this year. I had signed up for it months ago, but haven’t run hardly at [...]
