Greetings and salutations, dear readers.We had a very nice weekend, including a dinner with some friends, a trip to my parents' house for Chinese take-out and the NCAA selection show, and a couple of stops at the gym.I was scheduled to go flying Saturday afternoon and, if the weather was acceptable, we were going to fly to Lexington and back, to get some experience with en-route instrument

The Redhead read me the Kentucky blurb from yesterday's USA Today (you know, the 50 states condensed into a page?).Apparently, with just three weeks left in the session for this year, the Kentucky General Assembly is finally getting down to the nitty-gritty of lawmaking. Among the topics to be discussed:- A bill officially making clogging the State Dance.- An amendment to the above bill,

In discussing the current political agenda with my father, he mentioned something that used to go one in the state legislature when he was a young man.According to him, in the good ol' days, the Kentucky State Legislature would introduce the same bill at the beginning of every session, a bill that would levy a tax on hairdressers. All of the hairdressers in the state would flock to Frankfort to.

So, I went to the airport to pick the Redhead up from her trip back from L.A.I'm standing there outside the security checkpoint, and I see her walk out, animatedly chatting with another woman. Not unusual, my wife is a very friendly and easy-to-like person.I meet up with her (taking her carry-on bag from her shoulder), and she introduces me to her new friend. As it turns out...New Friend's

Some scientists working with the world's largest X-Ray generator have created the hottest temperatures ever on the planet Earth : 3.6 BILLION (with a B) degrees Farenheit.What makes this story really interesting:1. When the machine created the heat, it actually put out more energy than was put in, which could lead to groundbreaking work in energy sources like fusion.2. The scientists who did it..

Not as much as you, you see/but, still, I love technology.So, had a nice chat with The Redhead while she waited for her flight to board at LAX this morning. We did a little strategizing about whether or not she would seek a bump on her Atlanta to Louisville flight. I left it up to her, and I told her I'd get back to her with more information.Due to the magic of the Internet, I can track her

So, here I am, minding my own business in my cube, getting a little work done as I sip my coffee.I've got my headphones plugged into my PowerBook, iTunes on shuffle. A live performance of a Phish song called Maze (1994/06/22 Columbus, OH, if anyone cares) comes on.

As I mentioned before, The Redhead is out on the West Coast for a couple of days, returning tomorrow (Wednesday) on Delta, through Atlanta. She had such a good experience taking a bump on a full flight (the Atlanta - Louisville and Louisville - Atlanta legs are always full) that she's considering taking another one on the return trip. We could always use another big travel

With The Redhead in semi-sunny L.A. for a couple of days, I'm set loose as a bachelor once again.My exciting Monday night of being a bachelor involved watching TV, reading, playing video games, going over approach and enroute instrument charts, eating pizza, and watching more TV.I tell you what, I am a party animal.

As a Mac guy, I get a lot of questions about security concerns, viruses, etc. I had one friend of the family that was so sure that her laptop had a copy of the new Mac trojan virus on it (newsflash, the Trojan virus is a proof-of-concept program that is not found "in the wild" and doesn't work all that well anyway) that she wouldn't use her laptop, and instead used only her virus-ridden PC (you

The Redhead and I went over to my cousin's house to visit with her and help her with her kids (6 month old twins and an almost three year old). My parents came over for dinner as well, since they hadn't seen the kids since before my mother found out she had cancer. All in all, it was quite a fun evening.

The Redhead and I ended up watching Armageddon last night, mainly for the humor factor. The question I have is...has there been a severe drop in tampon purchasing over the last quarter?Seriously, during this three-hour program (yes, we watched the whole thing...shut up), we saw the same ad for Kotex tampons...wait for it...wait for it...eight times.Yes, boys and girls, slightly more than twice

Now, as The Redhead has pointed out to me, I have a significantly greater grounding in computers and technology than about 90% of the people on the planet, so I need to be a little more understanding about their problems.That being as it may...I received a call yesterday from a gentleman who was attempting to log in to our system.

Keynote Day is always a very important day to use Apple fanatics. It's the day where, for a brief but shining hour, we sit, glued to our computers, looking for the websites that have the latest updates on what His Steveness is presenting.For example, as I type, they've intro'd a new Mac Mini on the Intel chip, and a boombox for the iPod that will serve as a home stereo replacement.Now, normally,

So, it's come time to send our tax information to my accountant for this year's return. Most of the information has already been completed, but The Redhead and I just need to sit down for an hour this evening and bull through the remaining, nit-picky items.However, in an effort to make this as painless as possible, I've come up with a couple of variations on the tax preparation theme:Strip

Here's another bit of Gratuitous Cuteness for you, this is the second or third morning of our honeymoon, the Redhead and I got up to watch the sun rise.

A friend of mine forwarded this to me in an email. I know many of you have probably already seen it, but I felt compelled to share:I tell you what, thank god for the Dollar Palace. There are times that I just can't bring myself to put on the shoes and shirt required by Wal-Mart, but I still need to shop.

Well, I managed to drag my lazy ass to the gym last night. It wasn't the world's greatest workout, but it's a start.Thinking about it, I haven't been to the gym since before the wedding (in October).So, I'm playing a little bit of catch-up.And, yes, I know that, on some level, I'm being psychologically influenced, seeing all of these men and women on TV who are in the most incredible shape of

Congratulations to the Japanese for their first Olympic gold medal in women's figure skating.Seemed like a big deal to them, so I thought I'd add my best wishes to the group.Now, if you REALLY want to win a sport that takes balls, work on the freestyle ski jumping (you know, the one where the jumpers go up a fourteen foot ramp and do incredible twists and flips five stories in the air?)

The trip to Memphis had an unexpected up side, namely, reminding me why I enjoy working for a small, closely-held company.The trip was an executive branch visit, I had just hopped on because I.T. had something it needed to take care of at the branch. The purpose of the visits, for the executives, is twofold. First, it allows them to talk to all of the managers and get a sense of how things are

Actually it wasn't bad, just short. 1 hour down (corporate jets RULE!), 3 hours on the ground, 1 hour back.Witty posts and horoscopes will resume today.After we got back yesterday, I had a flight lessons scheduled with my instructor.

Watching the winter Olympics, I really enjoy figuring out where the events came from. Ski jumping and downhill skiing are pretty easy to figure out. The biathalon is pretty easy too, it comes from chasing something down and killing it in the snow.What I don't get is curling. Seriously. Who said, "Hey, shuffleboard is such a fucking awesome sport, wouldn't it be extreme to put it on ice and

So, yesterday and today I've been working a later shift in order to perform some network upgrades after our branches close. (For the technically-minded who are interested, we're upgrading fractional T-1 lines from either 512kbps or 768kbps to full T-1s at each of 14 remote branches)The up side is, I'm very much more awake, even just sleeping in that extra hour.

I'm a guy who loves concepts.For example, I love the concept of a flamethrower, because it means that someone had to have said, "You know, I want to set those people, over there, on fire. But, they're way over there. If I only had something that would, I don't know, throw flame at them..."In reality, a flamethrower is a horrible, horrible thing. But I like the concept.Same thing with this:This

I may have mentioned to some of you, but not all, that I was starting training for my instrument rating last night.

So, there's been a turn in a publicly watched parental-rights case that has me a little baffled. The background of the case is that a couple with children filed for divorce in 1999. At the time, both the mother and the father agreed that the father should have sole parental rights. The mother even went so far as to say, in court:"These are his children. I had the children for him. They

No, no poetry here, just a simple declaration of fact on this, our fourth Valentine's Day together (and first as a married couple):I love you. I know I tell you a lot, but I wanted to make sure that you really knew. I love you, and being married to you is the best thing that has ever happened to me.I was thinking last night about the past, and the eternal question of what I could've done that

As previously mentioned, The Redhead and I went to an advance screening of Imagine Me & You last night, mainly because it was free. Neither of us had heard much about the movie other than the basic premise (married woman falls in love with another woman, hilarity ensues) but, again, it was free, so we went.We were both pleasantly surprised at how enjoyable the movie actually was.

We went to an advanced screening of Imagine Me & You last night (it was fun, review to come in a bit). Though the movie centers around a young couple and the wife's lesbian love interest, my favorite character was the father in law, who provided loads of comic relief. At one point, the husband tries to talk with his father in law about his new wife, and he responds:"We can't talk about Rachel.

As I finish off my second large dose of caffeine for the day (I normally just have one in the early morning), I'm starting to feel a little more normal. Now, I'm only slightly tired, like maybe I just woke up and haven't really gotten it together yet.Baby steps.

I don't know why, but I am just bombed today. It's going to take a hell of a lot of caffeine to get me through the day.Weekend update to come once I wake up a little more.

This is what you get when I try to be witty when I can't even focus my eyes. Horoscopes - Thursday, February 9th, 2006AquariusThis will be a good week for you, Aquarius, as you finally realize that puppies, like plants, grow faster if you urinate on them. Try to spread the love to as many doggies as you can this week, and remember that dogs wearing sweaters are ripe targets for your golden

Whatever happened to handling a situation gracefully?Apparently, after losing out on the Grammy for Album Of The Year to U2, Mariah Carey locked herself in her dressing room and would not come out for several hours.I tell you what, THAT'S class.

My mother had her last post-operative chemo treatment on Monday, so she is now on her way down to the Florida Keys for some much-deserved R&R in the warm sun.

Have you ever had to pee really, really badly, but were stuck in a situation (I don't know, maybe like a small plane?) where you couldn't relieve yourself for a couple of hours?Do you know how GOOD it feels once you get to the bathroom? Almost orgasmic. As a side note, I had a very nice flight last night, bladder issues on the first leg notwithstanding.

Just received a call from a salesman who had been working on some Word documents and left them open while he went to lunch. His computer ran an automated update over the lunch break, and rebooted itself so the update would take effect. The salesman is flustered because he lost all of his changes.Come to think of it, I think this is the same guy who called me about four months ago and complained

Here's a tip from your friendly IT worker.If you use a desktop PC, and you keep the tower portion (you know, the box with all the guts) under your desk...DON'T tap it rythmically with your foot throughout the day. DON'T put it in a position where you will kick it multiple times a day. DON'T hit it with your chair every time you leave your desk.Your computing life will be happier and more

The Redhead posted a comment on my post regarding the Ad Slogan Generator, which contained some outstanding results:We Do Redhead Right.Dude, You're Getting a Redhead!Get Busy with the Redhead.Gonna Be a While? Grab a Redhead.The Too Good to Hurry Redhead.You Need A Redhead.She informed me after the fact that there had been, in fact, another really good one that she didn't post. She agreed to

We watched Hustle and Flow at home last night, and I must now say that Terrence Howard is my front-runner favorite for Best Actor, which is saying a lot, considering how much of a badass I think David Strathairn was in Good Night, and Good Luck.If you really want to get a sense of Howard's incredible range as an actors, watch Crash, then watch Hustle and Flow. He will blow you away.

Our Internet security is second to none, and because of that, we haven't had any virus troubles in over three years. That changed yesterday, when one of our salesmen who had been in Dallas with his laptop last week came back here and

I went home after work and played nurse to my ailing Redhead. She's down with a bit of a cold, so I did my best to make her comfortable and help her get some rest.Warmed up some chicken soup for her (I won't claim I made it), watched the fourth season of Coupling on DVD with her, brought some NyQuil home for her, and tried my best to look sexy in that cute little nurse's costume...those garter

Since some people seem to enjoy my version of the horoscopes a little too much, I thought I'd share with the rest of the world. I'm going to try to do this weekly basis, or even bi-weekly if you're really, really lucky.Edit: For those who are curious, I'm a Taurus.

Western Union has announced that it will be discontinuing telegram service. In response to this, my father posted the following:Back in the days of 10bps gusting to 100, the terse-and-to-the-pointness of telegrams was truly an art.

So, for those of you who don't know, the title of this entry refers to a New Testament story about Jesus providing a shit-ton of food for a bunch of smelly, ungrateful people (original King James wording, garunteed!). As the story goes, he gets his homies (the A-Team) to bring him all of the food they can find, and it ends up being two or three baskets of bread and fish. He tells them to
