But I am not. I did have fun dressing up for the Mac Store’s Panther release party.

My Ford Taurus SHO Mach in-door speakers had blown out after 6 years of use, so a trip to Car Toys here in Portland, Oregon and $121 later (installed) I have crisp, clean sound once again. The reference I used was Tom’s Diner, the a cappella version. The syllables were crisp, the silence was silent.… Continue reading New car speakers

I really dig Pink’s new song, “Trouble.” Of course I bought it at the Apple iTunes Music store for 99 cents. I especially like the chorus bridge. The melody of her voice played against itself is really sweet.

Ironing crappy nylon socks on the hottest temperature is good for neither the socks nor the iron. Hated those old socks from high school anyway. Rowenta sells a soulplate cleaner ($9.99 at Target) which did an amazing job of bringing my soulplate back to like-new condition! It is so slick now, the iron slides over… Continue reading Keep that soulllllplate clean

I’ve posted a picture of the newly completed office. It is so much much nicer to work at, with plenty of book space, a separate desk for in/out items and the ability to swivel between three machines!

AP – Bill Shoemaker, who rode four Kentucky Derby winners and for more than 40 years was a commanding presence in thoroughbred racing, died Sunday. He was 72. [Yahoo! News – Sports] What a classy sportsman.

Hehe this is classic

As mentioned in the Sept. PMUG newsletter “Mouse Tracks,” we are indeed getting an Apple Store, located in Washington Square mall! It is set to open Nov. 15th. I went by and saw a large white construction wall with a black border around the base.

Ahhhh I am so glad I hired landscapers. Between the rain and the high winds, my yard is yellow now, totally covered in pine needles. This round will be gone on Friday 🙂

Julie brought over her Jenome 108 and taught me how to iron hems and sew. We should have used hemming tape on the curtain, but it came out great! I sewed the loop at the top and one of the long sides. It is clear that a large table and such is a great aide,… Continue reading I can sew!

I’m looking for a cordless phone (not a cell phone) that will: Not interfere with 802.11b/g Support bluetooth headsets (so I can walk around with phone on hip) Bluetooth to OS X for caller ID lookup, and maybe syncing (some) #s to phone Anyone have any ideas?

Julie and I went out shopping for fabric and I came home with $40 of world navigation print in blue on white cloth. Is going to work great for my office! I also got a second pair of Merrell shoes, and wanted a third but they didn’t have my size. My shoes look like:

Thanks to my gracious boss a Dual 2ghz G5, 1GB RAM, 160gb HD, Radeon 9800 Pro, SuperDrive with Bluetooth is on order! Could be a month or more before I see it, or a week, Apple is all screwed up on their shipping it seems. Yay!

Aye, tis truly talk like a pirate day Loved Pirates of the Caribbean I did, both them ride and now t’movie. To all me mateys who have walked the plank headed straight for Davey Jones’ locker before me, and them that thar surely will after, my mug to you!

Comcast came out today and cut back some of the cabling, put water protectors on the taps and now my new cable modem is sitting in the rack with the rest of the equipment! I am a couple of desks and one curtain away from a new office, whoot!

I needed this chuckle on a fairly crappy day!

I’m driving home at 3:15am, a little hungry and think, “Hmm, I might as well stop and see where the new Krispy Kreme is off 26 and Cornell.” So I get off the freeway and see it ahead, and the lights are on! Crap. So I pull in the drive through and sure enough, the… Continue reading The Evil that is Krispy Kreme

This 737 was pelted by golf ball sized hail and returned to Geneva safely. They can sure take a beating!

Krispy Kreame opened today in Beaverton, on Cornell Road at 26. Roads are closed, there are tons of people in line and there are cops directing traffic in the area for a week. LOL what a mess, all over getting more fat.

Hello friends and family, I know I have not posted much about where I have been and what i have been doing. Work has been good, but not up to my standard of par, so I am grappling with that now. My personal life has been emotional and fulfilling. I am on Lexapro now, seeing… Continue reading Where have I been?
