  • New iPhone!

    Finally that day arrived and the iPhone 4S that I ordered showed up.  Prior to today both Angie and I had been s..l..o..w..l..y using our iPhone 3g phones (ack!).  We learned what patience really meant as our apps would take seemingly minutes to open up.  Ultimately resorting to disabling Spotlight Searching, Location Services, and nearly…

  • Washington!

    Abodes have changed again.  I’ve taken a new position with the same organization, but it’s necessitated a move up to Washington State into the Seattle area.  We’ve only been here a short while now, but differences are easily apparent. Driving is one of the first things that I noticed immediately.  Those reading this who are…

  • Mutant Pig Man

    OK, so not a mutant pig man, but still a pretty fun story. I’d opened the windows to get some fresh air in the house shortly before Angie had come home from class.  We were sitting on the couch in the family room talking when we heard a splashing noise.  It was the splashing noise…

  • Clover Coffee

    This post is very overdue.  Back at the beginning of March I traveled up to Seattle on business.  While up there my co-worker introduced me to heaven in a cup.  I don’t really know the whole story behind how it ended up at Starbucks, but it is wonderful.  Unfortunately the only Clover machine that was…

  • Motorcycle Camping

    Angie and I just finished a wonderful weekend of motorcycle camping up at Stubb Stewart State Park. It was a wonderful bear-free adventure that I’m hoping will just be one of many motorcycle camping trips. The worst part of the trip was the sleeping arrangements. We’d forgotten that we had inflateable pillows so we were…

  • iPhone Magic

    I’ve resisted writing this for a while now so that I didn’t come across as some sort of deranged Apple fanboy as you read this.  However I’m still struggling to measure my words now which is kinda sick. Allow me to pull you back in time…  Back in December Angie wanted an iPod so that…

  • I Can See!

    Today is the first day since I was in fourth grade that I can see clearly without the use of glasses or other corrective devices. I’d tried contacts back in high school when, as a new driver, I nearly  got into a collision with another car that I didn’t see out of the corner of…

  • Break Out the Yule Logs

    It’s that time of year again and the consumer machine has been ramping up for months it seems.  If you’re looking for my gift list it’s on a link above called “Buy Me A Gift” or to the right.  This year I’ve added an item that fits the Sesame Street “one of these items isn’t…

  • Blame Sarah

    So I’m going to take a moment here to blam my niece for goading me into updating the site.  Specifically to the point of adding blogging ability to it.  So I figured that there couldn’t be a more upstanding thing to do that to honor my niece with the first blog post. Getting to this…
