I just got back from a nice 7-day Carnival eastern Caribbean cruise with Tracy and a couple people from work. It was awesome! We had a great time. The cruise ship, the Carnival Triumph, left from Miami, FL, and stopped at Half Moon Cay, Bahamas; St. Thomas, USVI; San Juan, Puerto Rico; and Grand Turk, Turks and Caicos Islands.

Yesterday was the first monthaversary for Tracy and me. Thus far, things have been going exceptionally well. Tracy came up to my house after I got off work. She showed up wearing a dress and looking quite nice; she's a jeans-and-t-shirt kind of girl so I wasn't expecting it. I gave her some chocolates, and she gave me a card she made (because ( Read more... )

It's been quite a while since I was on here last, so I am a bit behind on everyone's journals ( Read more... )

I've been playing the hell out of some Guitar Hero recently. Every Wednesday night at Fletcher's, they have it up on the projector in the back of the bar.

I just got a call from my sister and I found out that my grandfather on my mom's side also just passed. Coincidentally, both of them died at 1:15 PM.

After Whitey's failing battle against renal failure, I had to put him down.

It's been a while since my last real update. Hmm, let's see, started taking classes again, working on my M.S. in Computer Science. Work is paying for it, so I may as well cash in on it while the cashing-in is good. It's a ten class program, and I've already finished my first semester with an 'A' (Foundations of Algorithms). This semester I'm ( Read more... )
