Time sure flies when you're not doing anything productive...it has been really, really quiet the last couple of days. I should appreciate the time while I have it; things are going to get very busy toward the end of the month. They've approved the upgrade of the training servers to a 64 bit version of Windows, so they can add a whole lot more ( Read more... )

Mary and I went to the doctor today. Good news is I haven't gained any weight. Bad news is I haven't lost any. I'm leaning toward NutriSystem, which she says is pretty good.

EDIT: Of course, they have a website!

Yes, I'm a country music fan. In fact, I listen to a lot of different kinds of music (musical selections lately have been coming from my iPod, to give you an idea), but mostly country in the car, especially since Mary does the driving lately and she likes country music. Anyway, I heard this on the radio today, and it gave me ideas for a story, or ( Read more... )

Mary and I celebrated Thanksgiving by not having a turkey, as we usually don't. (It tends to get stinky before we can eat enough of it to make it worth our while.) Instead, we had roast eye of round, baked potatoes, green bean casserole and pumpkin pie. So, we did some traditional stuff. Good news: I put the dinner together and got it going. ( Read more... )
