Wow! Amy and I worked L.A. Fitness’ grand opening in East Point today (south side Atlanta). She painted faces for children for 7 freakin’ hours and I walked on stilts for 5. The gig itself wasn’t too bad. Just walk and provide ambience to the visitors and members alike. People got a real kick out… Continue reading Walking Tall at L.A. Fitness

Doggone
In an unfortunate turn of events, our Great Pyrenees – Yang – closed a chapter in her life and is no longer welcome in our household. She had growled at Amy a couple of times when she attempted to take trash Yang had dug out of the trash can. I made it clear that Amy… Continue reading Doggone
Where the Rubber Meets the Road
I just ordered new tires for the Mazda3. It was a temultuous saga for me that has spanned several weeks now of research and stress. I’m the kind of guy that will research a product to death and still be concerned that I’m not getting the best value for my dollar. Normally, I’ve always just… Continue reading Where the Rubber Meets the Road
Camels have Humps
Some days I plow through without the first drop of water until evening. Unless, of course, you count coffee as water – which you shouldn’t. Today was very nearly going to be one of those days. I can make it through a meal without drinking, but I think days like today are more closely associated… Continue reading Camels have Humps
Gods of Man
Is it presumptious to believe man knows the will of gods?
Speaking of the 21st Century
In regards to that last post, I was just reminded that I have an old Realistic receiver in the living room – above my 19″ TV – that is currently running on tubes. I mean, yeah. That’s cool for the tube thing. But really…how many watts am I burning on them? They do glow afterall,… Continue reading Speaking of the 21st Century
Kingdom of Loathing
I’ve not written about it before, but the Kingdom of Loathing (KoL) is the best piece of crap since Legend of the Red Dragon (LoRD) way back in BBS days. KoL is chocked full of PHP and MySQL goodness to bring forth one of the more entertaining web games out there. Your a stick figure… Continue reading Kingdom of Loathing
Today’s Memory Lapse
ARRRRGGHHH!!! I’ve done it again, only this time it’s worse! I left my clothes at home having left early for work to workout. It wasn’t a simple shirt this time, however. It’s nearly the entire enchilada. I did manage to bring fresh under garments. I also left my wallet in my car, having car-pooled with… Continue reading Today’s Memory Lapse
When is the Weekend only the Beginning?
Friday night I went out with family for Father’s Day – Amy’s sister was in town from Philly, so it was a special occasion. The two dad’s in the family were treated to dinner at Kiku’s, a fine Japanese hibachi place in Gainesville. I had been uncustomarily hungry throughout the week, so Friday night I… Continue reading When is the Weekend only the Beginning?
Drum Circle in Atlanta
I ventured well outside of Gainesville tonight to attend the Lake Claire Community Land Trust drumming circle in Atlanta. They hold these gatherings on the 1st and 3rd Saturday’s of every month and start at o-dark-thirty. It ends promptly at midnight to respect the community. And it’s the community that has put together and maintains… Continue reading Drum Circle in Atlanta
