Sick Again
Monica and I are sick once again, and it’s due to us volunteering to watch the toddler class at church. Those kids are little germ factories, and they must have been in high production for us. We were still able to decorate the house for Christmas and enjoy the Hokies big win over UNC to…

I’m still full
Holy cow, what an eating fest yesterday was. We have leftovers in the frig and plenty of Tums in the cupboard. We’re off to some sort of Christmas craft show today. I can not believe it’s Christmas already, but I think I’m ready for it. We’ll probably start decorating some tonight and then it’s a…

Very Thankful
I’m sitting here once again watching the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade, having just returned from the airport to pick up Monica’s mom. They sure do like plugging the NBC shows on here. And they also like showing me all the Broadway shows that I’ve never heard of, but at least I can look at the…

Sunday Wind-down
Wow, what a stunning turn of events yesterday. First Tech destroyed UVA, and then Georgia Tech upsets Miami to give us the inside track on a BCS bowl. Like the Circuit City commercials, it was just what we needed. How did we lose to this team? Despite this being my favorite time of the year,…

Retirement Time
We attended a retirement party for my Dad yesterday. After joining the Navy forty five years ago, and Civil Service twenty five years ago, he’s decided to call it a career. His actual last day isn’t until the end of the year, but his office commemorated it (or perhaps celebrated it? 😉 ) yesterday. I’ve…

Cold Weather Approaching
It’s finally starting to get somewhat cold around here. I don’t like 78 degree weather when I’m preparing to eat Thanksgiving dinner and shopping for Christmas presents. I think the high today was around 50 which is getting closer to what I like this time of year. Is it too much to ask for holiday-type…

It’s funny cause it’s true
An article reprinted from Transportation Magazine. Eleven Tips on Getting More Efficiency Out of Women Employees: There’s no longer any question whether transit companies should hire women for jobs formerly held by men. The draft and manpower shortage has settled that point. The important things now are to select the most efficient women available and…

My iPod
She’s dead, Jim. 🙁 Update: Okay, so maybe it’s not totally dead yet, but it’s sure acting strange.

Hamstrung
I used my gas blower/vac to suck up a bunch of leaves in our yard this past weekend, and I guess I used my hamstrings way more than I usually do because it feels as if someone used them for a punching bag. We’ve bagged up so many leaves already, and yet they fall as…

Gulf Coast Prayer
So it turns out the entire Gulf Coast needs prayer, not just New Orleans. It really looked as if New Orleans had escaped as the hurricane didn’t do as much damage as many had feared. However today one of the levees broke, and currently 80% of the city is underwater. 80%! I can’t imagine it.…
