Its nice to know that 51.9% of the population of California are bigots. I guess I shouldn't be surprised that they were too afraid of some non-existent wolf. I'm sorry - the courts allowed it once and the world did not implode ( Read more... )

Over the weekend on a trip down south to Cambria, I feel in love with a set of pictures. They were completely wrong for me. And I just bought them anyway ( Read more... )

I'm up for an exciting weekend.

Tomorrow morning - get up, drive to Turlock, pick up a dalmation, drive to Reno, drop off dalmation, go to dinner with my sister, sleep, get up, drive home, go into work for a few hours.

I need to learn to say no to my family someday before I die.

Well, I'm getting sent to Belgium for a week at the beginning of December. Joy. I should be happier but I could go though most of my life without giving speeches at developers conferences (I always get good scores on the little review cards but yuck).

Thanks to various suggestions from friends, I finally found a magic combination of: pull out plug (turn on water, still runs, damn, turn off water), wait a minute, cycle the washer to empty out ( Read more... )

A little frustrating that after many many years of prompt payment the kill my service because I had $300 in international calls. Long distance wants me to pay the difference to get under my limit, the bill pay group doesn't want to take my money because my ( Read more... )

Swirling and twirling and upside down with friends at the county fair. Follow up of good food, good wine and good booze. Fantastic company. What a great way to spend an afternoon/evening. If only all weekends ended this well.

I was too busy being cranky about work to write about this earlier. I guess I'm feeling significantly less crabby now that the day is almost done ( Read more... )
