Day 481 of 365 More. It’s bill day. You know, given where I was when i wasn’t working a few months ago, I’m really in MUCH better shape, but whenever bill day comes around, I just feel like I’m drowning. Another couple years and maybe I can come up for air…. maybe… God, I’ll be…

Day 480 of 365 More. Home again, home again, jiggity jig. Steph and I left the cabin in Virginia around 3pm today and got home by 8. Made excellent time. I was trying to think of a picture to commemerate being home, something that said, "I’m back" more than anything else. I thought about sitting…

Day 479 of 365 More. It’s my last night of vacation. Steph and I took Max to Red Lobster to thank him for his hospitality and then when we got back we took a walk around the resort. Sadly, the ski slopes aren’t actually open yet, but they are busy making snow. I thought it’d…

Day 478 of 365 More. I really need to buy a fireplace for my house. I have a gas line hookup for one, and I’ve been saying that I’d get some logs to put in there since we bought the house, but I’ve never got around to doing it. It’s been cold and rainy all…

Day 477 of 365 More. Oh what a difference a day makes. Well, a week, anyway. 1 week ago, I was sitting on the ground in my backyard. Now, I’m sitting on the ground in the mountains of Virginia. That’s called vacation. Actually, it’s been a good day. Steph, Max (our host) and I got…

Day 476 of 365 More. And so do vacations start. My intent was to take my first picture for vacation right at the cabin. But I got out of work later than I wanted. It always seems that the more I want to leave, the longer I have to stay. Wanted to get on the…

Day 475 of 365 More. Gone Fishing… Or something like that. Steph and I are off on vacation tomorrow after work, and I don’t know what my internet connectivity will be like so this may be my last post before I get back. In any case, I’ll of course continue this while I’m gone and…

Day 474 of 365 More. I used to be good at poker. Apparenly not anymore. I used to be good at winning the lottery to. That power is apparently gone as well. Played poker for the first time in a couple weeks tonight. I got knocked out first. Also tried to win the lottery, but…

Day 473 of 365 More. I’m getting fat. Honestly half the time I feel like I’m already there. Really, I don’t need to lose much weight, but I could stand to dump 10 pounds again. And tone up. I’ve seriously slacked off on my workouts and I’m in really crappy shape. So I decided to…

Day 471 of 365 More. We need new couches. The ones we have in our media room right now predate the Carter administration I think. I got them back in 94 when I lived with Jameel because his mother wanted get rid of them because she had had them forever. When Jameel moved out, he…

Day 470 of 365 More. I love having a long weekend. It seems like its been so long since I really had a chance to just relax and think. Looked out my back window and saw that my yard is covered with yellow leaves that have fallen off of our trees. My mother is alway…

Day 469 of 365 More. The day after Thanksgiving is a huge party day. This year, I took the initiative and planned a little karaoke outing. Regular readers will realize that Steph and I love karaoke. But what could be better than karaoke? Well, karaoke with strippers of course. Steph had never actually been to…

Day 468 of 365 More. Half a millennia ago, a a clueless white man came to the new world and gave all the natives syphilis. A little over 100 years later, a bunch of sexually repressed overly religious kooks got sick of all crazy european sex their countrymen were having so they took off for…

Day 467 of 365 More. A few days ago I finally ordered all of the zodiac necklaces I need for my new photography project I came up with. In order to get all the signs, I had to go to four different stores. One of them had free shipping if I ordered a specific amount…
