Snowmageddon, Snowpocalypse Now, Snotorious B.I.G. call it what you will, the blizzard of 2010 was pretty miserable for us. If you don’t follow my Twitter Feed/Facebook Wall, you might not know that last week’s snow storm was pretty traumatic for the family. Besides 55″ of snow, we had a town truck catch fire in front …

Sick
Full blown flu (103 degree temp, etc). Probably H1N1 since one of the girls was down with it last week. I’m pretty miserable. Update: 24 hours later, I’m feeling much better but still somewhat feverish nevertheless up and around. Which is good since Kim is now a full-blown flu victim, and little boo is trending …
One Week on the Brink
Last week has been tough on the whole family. We’ve been to the ER twice, and straight to the doctor’s office once. Last Sunday night I managed to drop the hot tub cover on my foot. I managed to limp through the whole day Monday, but by Tuesday morning I was in extreme pain. At …
101 things in 1001 days, revisited
So September 28, 2009, my experiment in completing 101 things in 1001 days ended. By my own tally I only completed 43 of my objectives. At one level this is an abject failure; on the other hand, a large number of life changes may make this a reasonable outcome. In the past three years, I’ve …
Work in progress
I’m way behind on blogging. So the next little bit I expect to be doing a lot of posting, as I try to catch up. Hopefully, what will follow is a rash of posts.
Wedding Update
Or announcement, or something. What we know at the moment: Kim and I are getting married at the Memorial Chapel on the UMCP campus on 10/10/10. For the numerically geeky out there, in binary that’s 1010/1010/1010. Or if you take it as a binary number: 101010 = 42 in decimal. And I don’t need to …
France 2009 photos
I finally got around to posting the photos from our trip to France on my Flickr photo stream. I didn’t bother editing the photos at all, otherwise I’d be posting them to the photo blog. Let me know which photos you like, and I’ll edit them for the photoblog. You can see them here. There …
Fat
I’m the heaviest I’ve ever been (approx. 285lbs). Sigh. Time to really make a change. I’m going to try to post regularly to see if I can humiliate myself thinner.
Sandro’s Freshwater Aquarium
It started innocently enough, I wanted a 36 gallon bow front tank, and Kim wanted to find me another nice christmas gift (we got each other a couple things each). She got a great deal on craigslist (on x-mas eve no less). A 36 gallon bow-front with stand for $100. Of course a month later …
Cholesterol Numbers
My latest blood work is back, and I have new cholesterol numbers: Triglycerides: 121 HDL Cholesterol: 41 VLDL Cholesterol: 24 LDL Cholesterol: 57 Total Cholesterol: 122 Sweet! Total cholesterol is down from about 214, which is a pretty massive reduction (thanks to Lipitor).
