I'd rather still be at the beach.  Last week was rather peaceful and stress free.  The beach and ocean can do that.  It was also a nice reprieve from the crazy political season thus far.  Sadly, I don't know if I'll make it back to the beach this summer.  This week is fairly busy and the weekend even more so.  August will not be much relief either ( Read more... )

I've listened to a fair amount of discussion about the federal indictment against Michael Vick today (3 hr drive to Charlotte).  It seems that the government has a good number of witnesses to show the financial and physical support by Vick for the dogfighting that occurred on his Virginia property.  Apparently, many dogs were killed, some from ( Read more... )

I'm in the mood to play some disc golf sometime soon.  I live within walking distance of a course.  Any takers?

for the Series 7 exam.  The unthinkable almost happened of having to wait another month to take it.  But then I checked the second testing center company and they have an opening this week!

Time to push everything else out of my head, at least for a week...

For anyone that is around this weekend, Come out to the Moore Square Magnet School for the first annual art auction being held by Triangle Family Services Friday night from 6 - 10.  It's also First Friday in downtown Raleigh.  There are some cool art pieces being auctioned off and some cool raffle prizes too.  All the proceeds go towards the ( Read more... )
