As a few of you know, I have been in the process of getting a new cell phone. I found a great deal at Amazon.com on a Blackberry Pearl 8100. Its a "smartphone"--does internet, email and all the cell phone goodness. Tmobile has already switched my number over. Not a problem, because according to UPS and Amazon, my phone would be here today ( Read more... )

Well after catching the plague of doom from Donna (Thanks D-- I owe you a virus!) I'm back to walking again. That cold was no joke.

The movie is supposedly based on a true story of an American Volunteer squadron, but you just never know the liberties that hollywood is ( Read more... )

Had a great day yesterday with C, Lauries daughter. Last time the kids were here she was goofing off with my digital camera and had so much fun, I offered to take her out and let her run around with it snapping pics. The girl has a good eye for a 10 year old. We went down to the river and took some really neat pictures; when she wasnt snapping away ( Read more... )

Just got back from seeing "Clerks" at the retro cinema over at the Arden UA. Lots of cool older movies coming up that I have never seen on the big screen. I'm looking forward to Full Metal Jacket, Saturday Night Fever, and Raiders of the Lost Ark. It would appear this is going to be a regular thursday night thing for our little group. Should be ( Read more... )

Up in Reno and having a blast! Didnt make the airshow or the football game, but I have gotten a chance to spend some quality time with one of my best friends in the whole world. Aaron and I have known each other for over 20 years. Recently, due to a psycho ex of his, we havent been seeing much of each other ( Read more... )
