Dead guys

Today is the 25th anniversary of John Lennon's death. How come we remember the death's and not the births? Not to be morbid but here are the top 5 deaths that really got to me -- 1. My father - nuff said there. 2. John Lennon - He was a hero of mine growing...

New York City

This weekend Annette and I are visiting the Big Apple. Growing up I had no urge to visit NYC but recently my interest has grown. I'll admit it, watching TV had a lot to do with it. Annette and I got into watching reruns of Sex and the City which takes...

Celebrating the brain freeze

Slate is running an article on the 40th anniversay of the Slurpee. Wow I'm the same age as the slurpee. I grew up craving slurpees and still enjoy them a lot. There's just something about sucking a 32 oz cup of Coke slurpee through a straw that is extra...

Couch potato season starts

Well football season started last weekend. Our Rams lost their opener to SF. This year will be a repeat of last year, lucky if they hit 8-8. Same strengths and weakenesses. I think it's time for the head coach to go. He's in a rut and can't figure out...

Paintball

Last weekend I played in my first paintball game with a friend from work and a bunch of his friends. We played in the morning to avoid the heat of the day. Another guy there was a newbie so I wasn't alone. We paid for 4 hours which got us a referee and...

Spamalot III

Annette and I have booked a trip to New York City the weekend of Sept.30 - Oct.1. In my travelling years as an engineer I never cared to go to NYC, in fact I'd route my flights around LaGuardia and JFK to stay out of the city. Now I've gained more appreciation...

Super Size Me!

Annette and I watched a fascinating documentary last night called Super Size Me . I doubt I'll ever eat McDonalds after that. This guy decided to perform an experiment to only eat McDonalds food for 30 days. He had himself checked out by 3 doctors beforehand...

The Wave

Way back in the 1980's in one of my more boring moments I turned on the tv and flipped on an Afterschool Special. Remember those shows? They were always on between 4-6 pm in the pre-Oprah days. The themes were about teenagers and how they deal with growing...

Comment spam

Ok I dropped the anti-comment spam control from my blog. Chris lost a comment due to it. Those letters are hard to read I guess at his age..whoa! ;-) New skin too. It's called Blue Curve, fashioned after a Linux variant from Red Hat. Looks clean.

Highlander

Throughout the years I've watched the Highlander tv show. I've always really enjoyed it, the stories, the characters, the lightweight fantasy element. Some of the shows had some outstanding writing. Even the main character, Duncan MacLeod had some major...

100th post!

This is my 100th post. Time to reflect? It's been fun, although I would like to be more consistent with blogging. My blog gets moldy too many times. Had to revive it only to let it rot again...xxx

A new look

Well I finally got around to updating this blog to most stable version, 0.95. I wanted a new skin and could only get one if I upgraded. The blog I use is called dottext , it's open source and free to use. I don't have any complaints. I wish there was...

Mardi Gras/Cell phones/Over consumption

Mardi Gras is upon us again. I'm going with Annette tommorow for the big parade. Meeting her sister, fiance, other friends there. I always find it strange that St.Louis gets weird once a year for this event. Transvestites, costumes, tons of music. Its...

Free books - looking for a good home

Well I had some old science books that I was going to pitch and decided against it since Chris would lecture me if he found out. So I packed them up and sent them off to him. Before I did however I entered them in my bookcrossing.com bookshelf . Basically...
