miss usa 2005 from north carolina. my son goes to his first baseball game and gets a foul ball. my reign of good fortune continues…

my wife is at her most creative when it comes to manipulating windows, curtains and towels to block even the faintest star light from getting in to a room at night.

i got some seriously strange looks this weekend when i questioned why anyone would build a community center next to an elementary school. apparently, i’m the only one who thinks of a community center as a haven for drug dealers and child molesters.

we’re struggling with where to buy our next house in north carolina – however, the locals are helping out and have told us we can choose from either cary (concentrated area of relocating yankees) or
clayton (cary like area yankees trying out now).

while i was living in st. louis the rams won the superbowl. living in ohio, the buckeyes win a national championship. now after just moving to north carolina the tar heels win the ncaa men’s basketball tournament. damn, i’m better luck than a gilded horseshoe in a bed of four leaf clovers.

sorry, no post today – i spent the last 24 hours waiting for sbc/ameritech to repair both my phone and dsl service. but, they made the wait all right by letting me know at the end of each call “we appreciate your business”.

as an information technology professional its a small wonder that i’m so comfortable with a complete ignorance of all things cell phone.

the biggest problem with being media challenged is not knowing when someone is spinning out new content or recycling lines from the last movie or tv show they saw. looking out our office window at a nuclear plant on the horizon a guy i work with said “if only the sun and the wind could provide a continuous, renewable source of energy we wouldn’t need nuclear power” …and i had the strange feeling of being in a simpsons episode.
