Carolyn and I went on a date tonight to go see Star Wars. I thought it was good, but then again I thought the first two were good, and nobody else seems to…. It was good to finally get to go see it, because now I don’t have to worry about people talking about it.…

Sorry for the downtime today folks. I’m sure all of you were mortally wounded by not being able to get your fix of TPMHTDM over the past few days. My hosting company apparently had some problems. I have a good post about our garage sale that we had on Saturday that I want to write,…

So Carolyn finally got me down in the basement to clean up the basement (read: throw out all the crap). I did manage to save a few things, and I wanted to blog a couple of them before I threw them out. Here’s one I found from I believe 1994 (12th grade). It’s a piece…

Lately I have been doing some speed estimates for the EFC trip. Just doing some timings as I drive to and from work. This process was greatly enhanced by Carolyn finding my watch this morning.
