Ran into a little kink in the system over the last few days. Hope you all didn’t miss me too terribly bad. There might be some little kinks here and there, but for the most part things should be a lot safer, and hopefully faster in a couple of days. One word to the wise, do NOT use godaddy’s servers!
I’m not usually a big fan of pop-ups. However, in the case of Snap Shots, I like what it does in that you can see what the link is before having to click it. Pretty handy if you ask me. However, I know some people don’t like pop-ups for any reason.
If you all would leave a comment letting me know whether you like them or not, I’ll go with the majority on this one.

Yasir on Flickr asked me to be his buddy. I don’t know why. More often than not it’s spam or just idiots wanting to show off. However, when I checked out Yasir’s pics, I was stunned. This may be my favorite he’s taken. Maybe not. He has are tons of great shots. Apparently the Maldives are an incredibly beautiful place to be!
When I was born, a long time ago, my mom probably laid in the hospital watching Bob Barker on Truth or Consequences. I feel this is very likely because from 1962 until 1975 or so, we watched it every single chance we could. In 1975 we did what almost every family in the US did in 1975. We watched The Price is Right. When I left my mother and went to college, I joined the Sigma Nu fraternity. Nevermind that James Dean and Harrison Ford were alumni, you HAD to know that Bob Barker was as well. And if you got a autographed picture of Bob Barker, as I did, your initiation went a lot smoother. We probably had fifty autographed pictures of Bob Barker on a small wall in our small house. I graduated college and started working, and Bob was right there with me. I am now a father, heavily in debt, doing what all fathers do in their mid 40’s. Only one thing remained absolutely the same during all the trials, tribulations, and challenges of my entire life. Bob Barker was always there. Not in a fatherly kind of way, but more like some cosmic force guiding those who sought a certain amount of serenity in their lives. People were always happy when Bob Barker was with them. Always. For fifty years, they were always happy. What religious figure can make that claim? There was no hell with Bob Barker. Just happiness dashed with a little disappointment that they couldn’t spend more time with Bob Barker.
As of last night, that constant cosmic serenity left the building for the last time.
Life’s gonna be kinda weird from now on.
Nah, not moving the blog again. We’re moving. As in the family is moving. We’ve somewhat sortof finished the house we’ve been working on for over a year and are moving over the next few days. So, I’m gonna go even lighter on the blogging for a few days at least.
Wish us luck!
Just wait a few minutes. High today so far, 66. Forecast for tomorrow, snow.
Never gets boring here, that’s for sure.
I followed the age old tradition of getting together with a bunch of friends and drinking way too much for New Year’s Eve. Hadn’t really done that in a while. However, our designated driver is quite pregnant so I knew I had a free pass this year. I won’t be blogging much today. Happy New Year to all, and I hope 2007 is even better than 2006 was for everyone!
Yesterday was the 13th day of the month. I got 666 hits yesterday as well.
Good thing I didn’t know any of this until today huh?
( Also a good thing I’m neither terribly religious or superstitious either! It would have had the perfectly wonderful day I had. )
Toying with the blog since I got a couple of days off. Needless to say, it’s undergoing a MAJOR re-design. Typepad has changed a LOT since I began here and the new toys make formatting tons easier than before. Therefore, I really don’t have much use for custom formatting and writing. A lot more changes will most likely keep occurring. Just hang on and let me know what you like most, and dislike as well.
Nothing makes a dad prouder than the first time his boy uses the potty all by himself. Now you know why I’ve been sort of absent here for a bit. When was my last post?
That and there have been no red-hot teachers sleeping with their students of late. Reckin the rest figured out it was a bad thing? Compound that with a total lack of fun stuff on Youtube and it makes for a dry spell.
Now, the bad news, I’ll have some minor surgery tomorrow so may not be back for a day or two to boot.
