It’s been over two years now and Pensacola Beach is still under recovery from it’s battle with the hurricane season. It seems an impossible task for the victims of Katrina to repair so readily from their disaster. Now that the Gulf on this side has undergone a great amount of repairs, the final tasks are… Continue reading Pensacola Beach, Florida

Distractions
I’ve been distracted lately by the more serious things in life, including work. It has drawn some pretty large gaps in my blog as of late, but I promise I’ll get back to things soon. Perhaps I may even talk about what has been so important as to have ignored this wonderful outlet.
Drum-Filled Weekends
As I’ve said before, October is a busy month for the Gradin household. This year, drumming events take a great deal of our time in the fall. On Friday, Alchemy Drumming and Dance put together a drum circle for the Georgia Theater Conference at Brenau and on the square. We were asked to come in… Continue reading Drum-Filled Weekends
To Err is Human
Something I’ve never seen out of SQL Server 2000 before. Purely an oversight on Microsoft’s part, I’m sure. Incidentally, the answer to this message is most likely “No.” All ur base r belong to us!!!1!
Ring in the Fall Season
Quite a bit of drumming this month so far. This past weekend I did two engagements; one for Art on the Square on the Gainesville, GA downtown square, and another at Gainesville’s Harvest of Hope celebration for 2005. Art on the Square is an art show held annually at this time of year for the… Continue reading Ring in the Fall Season
JB Lotteries, MCC Construction Corporation, & The Manchester Register
What could JB Lotteries, MCC Construction Corporation, and the Manchester Register all have in common? A scam, it would seem. I received a letter in the mail yesterday shipped 2-day FedEx Express from one Aimee Bird with JB Lotteries in NewYork. The envelope is accurate, the material inside is convincing. It also comes with a… Continue reading JB Lotteries, MCC Construction Corporation, & The Manchester Register
Instincts are Stupid
This time of year, something gets into my nose and starts a terrible chain reaction resulting in clear muccous draining from my nose without warning. All this, because of my body’s over-reaction to a foreign substance on a tissue membrane. It’s a histamine reaction and it’s stupid. Just as there are antihistamines to prevent this… Continue reading Instincts are Stupid
I’ve Always Wanted to be…a Lumberjack!
My mom arrived home today after spending most of the week in Sedona, AZ for a medical conference. She does these conferences when there’s an opportunity, and it’s required to maintain her accreditations. This particular conference was on alternative medicines. She had expected there to be a lot of hooey, though as she admits now,… Continue reading I’ve Always Wanted to be…a Lumberjack!
Amigos for Christ
I spent a good part of the afternoon at the Amigos for Christ event held annually in Duluth. Outback Steakhouse donated food for the event, as they apparently do every year. There was also some food being served up by a Nicaraguan family, though I had neither. It was pretty hot to be eating hot… Continue reading Amigos for Christ
It Always Makes Sense to Me
Others can attest to this, but when I become drunk with sleep, I talk gibberish. I’m sure many people do this, but my gibberish is unique in that it always makes total sense to me just as I formulate the idea and up until the moment the words form in my mouth. It’s, unfortunately, at… Continue reading It Always Makes Sense to Me
