Trial by Fire

It would have been challenging enough just to babysit three kids aged 18 months, 8, and 9 all weekend.  Enter lingering flus, coughing, and ear infections. 
Our weekend with the nieces and nephews went well overall.  Graham was up several times Friday night with a bad cough so Saturday was very sleep-deprived and therefore kind of cranky [...]

Everyone knows one …

… one of those people that just needs to know everything that is happening around them.  
They know everyone in the office, who their family is, and what they did Saturday night.  They know how far along every pregnant woman within 30 miles is.  They know about all the goings-on in the office whether it pertains to them [...]

Cord and Queen

What a busy weekend…
Sunday morning Brian and I went to Big Rock.  It was such a beautiful day:  not too cold, no wind to speak of, and fresh cord on some of the trails.  There are still a few spots that are nearly bare so hard on the ski wax but enough of it is open [...]

It has been storming for over 24 hours now!  I don’t think it snowed much overnight but it is  coming down now and windy on top of it.  I love the snow!  Winter just isn’t winter without a blanket of the white stuff covering everything. 
This really reminds me of those big-ass snowstorms we had when we [...]

Passport hell

Ali sent me this forward today and, as much as I detest the majority of forwards (forward this to 10 people within three and a half minutes or you will be doomed to unhappiness for the rest of the week!), this one is right up my ranting alley.  Ali and I are both in the process [...]

Damn the birthday board…

When I worked at McCain there was a handful in my circle of friends that would try hard to embarass the heck out of you on your birthday.  And yes, I was one of them. 
There was the time I bought Strawberry Shortcake themed and other girly stuff from the dollar store and covered Randy’s cube.  [...]

Wow, that weekend just FLEW by. 
We curled in the Curl for Cancer funspiel Friday night and Saturday:  Won 2, Lost 1.  Pretty good for having thrown together a makeshift team of 4 people that have never curled together before.   We had fun and, most importantly, over $13,000 was raised for cancer. 
We had a day-long superbowl/birthday party [...]

Server Room Pics

In case anyone wonders what I do all day (besides posting nonsense here), here are a few pics of the server room I am building. 
I started with an empty room, have assembled/joined/installed components into all of the racks seen, and am basically managing the whole project.  Fun stuff if you’re a geek!
