There was an auto accident right in front of our house today. Thankfully it did not involve any of us. Actually, it only involved one person – the driver of one vehicle, who collided with a parked car on the side of the road. But this story involves several different folks, and a peek into…

5 Reasons
You might know that I really, really don’t like summer… and that’s mainly due to the hot, sticky weather. Ick. Just really not for me. But this past week of warmness reminded me that there are at least 5 more reasons to not like summer… Ants Mosquitos Flies Alien Bugs Spiders (except that they eat…
I Sleep Because I Have To
After watching the Ducks beat the Canucks (hey… that rhymed!) last night in the second game of the double-header on Versus, I decided to watch the NFL Lives I had TiVo-ed. It’s draft time, ya know! But when I started those, I remembered that I needed to clear space on the Mac Mini so that…
ENFP
Remember I posted that personality test the other day? Where I was a “Journalist”? Well, I found further explanation of the strange letters… ENFP outgoing, social, disorganized, easily talked into doing silly things, spontaneous, wild and crazy, acts without thinking, good at getting people to have fun, pleasure seeking, irresponsible, physically affectionate, risk taker, thrill…
Cooling Off
Me and my hard-working ‘puters can’t take temps hovering around 90 degrees! I have relocated my office (temporarily, and just to finish up a thing or two) to the BASEMENT. It is much nicer down here. There’s a nice table, and it’s a much nicer temperature! (Probably in the 50s) 🙂 I need a better…

Another Personality Test?
Following a link my parents sent in an email to a site I had heard of before, but did not previously sign up for… I created an account at StumbleUpon.com and took their personality test. Gotta love those personality tests… ENFP – “Journalist”. Uncanny sense of the motivations of others. Life is an exciting drama….
Dreamers
Last night I took my wife out for dinner and a movie. We had a nice sandwich at Arby’s (we rarely, if ever, go there so it was a special treat) and then we went to the “Dollar Theater” (we call it that) and watched the movie “Astronaut Farmer“. The plot is pretty simple… a…
60 Million Light Years
Can someone tell me how we can actually know that something is SIXTY MILLION LIGHT YEARS away? How is that even possible to measure? After a long internet search last night, the best I came up with was something called Parallax, but isn’t it just theory?? (It’s supposedly a similar process to how surveyors measure…
Mondays
You know, this morning I realized that I actually kinda like Mondays. 🙂 It’s a new beginning, there’s a whole week of fun ahead… not sure exactly why, but I like the fresh start I think. I get back on my routine. It’s all good. Maybe I just had a good weekend? 🙂 No, I…
