Bacon Cinnamon Rolls.
Yeah. BACON CINNAMON ROLLS!
This is truly the work of evil genius. (Linky thing…)

Mmmmm….Barbeque!

Saturday, September 27th, 2008

(snnnniiiifffFFFFF). Yep, I can smell it.
I’m headed into east Texas to meet some friends for barbeque.
The bad news is I’ve got to work tonight.
The good news is that means lots of high-speed running on The Dragon.
Oh yeah…it’s going to be a good day!
I hope yours is the same!

I am what I am…

Random Journalage:
A conversation ‘tween me and the wife…early in our marriage:
ME: (takes hands off her ass and grabs her on the breasts) “Damn. Makes me
wish I had more hands.”
HER: (lauging) “Best as I can tell, you have about six!”
Hasn’t changed much…
Life’s what you make of it…at least make it fun!

Where Angels Fear to Tread

Sunday, September 21st, 2008

Something over 300 years ago an English poet named Alexander Pope said, “Fools rush in where angels fear to tread.”
I’ve always liked the quote…simply because to me, it means “No limits.”
Angels have no fear, you see.
I’ve always tried to live my life without fear. Mostly, I’ve succeeded. I’d like to think so anyway.
No fear. [...]

Team Faceplant, Bicycle goes “Crunch” Division

Saturday, September 20th, 2008

Last weekend, my friend and co-worker Robert, whilst taking a leisurely jaunt about the hood, t-boned an attacking dog with his bicycle. The short of it is, He fought the dog, and the dog won.
Robert went down hard and broke his hip. He’s since had surgery, yah know…screws and plates and a forever hassle [...]

Good news…Bad news.

Friday, September 19th, 2008

Interesting dealings are afoot…muhahahahaha! Yeah, that’s the good news. I’ll tell you about it later.
The bad news…I’ve got friends from the coast with homes that are damaged or destroyed. Some are minor…trees down and some lost shingles, some are more serious…missing roof and destroyed interior…some…well, some are just plain missing. One text message from [...]

And now a word from our sponsor…

Wednesday, September 10th, 2008

If you’re on the fence about buying some books, now would be a good time.
Postage rates went up sharply late last year, as well as credit card surcharges. I’ve been eating the cost, particularly in sets of books (which also have a price break built in).
I will be raising the shipping/handling prices shortly [...]

I’m still here…

Saturday, September 6th, 2008

The buyout stuff is done. Offers made, many accepted, some reneged by the company after employees accepted…lots of good people going. Talent. Dedication. Paid to go somewhere else.
And I’m still here.
Layoffs are scheduled for next month. I’d guess around 100 or so.

Going back…

Friday, September 5th, 2008

About Saturday’s post…Yep, we’re going back to take another look.

Not sure why we torture ourselves so…
After all, if we weren’t looking, and didn’t find anything we liked in an (barely) achievable price range…then we wouldn’t be agonizing over decisions.
Hopefully, looking at it again will clinch things…one way or another.
I shouldn’t sweat the risk…after all, life [...]
