Life's simple pleasures
I'm not one for memes. But considering my recent hiatus from posting and the intriguing nature of this one, I'll bite for a change.
Name ten of life's simple pleasures that you like most, then pick ten people to do the same. Try to be original and creative and not to use things that someone else has already used.

What Happens in Vegas, Stays in Vegas
After sufficient recovery time, I am prepared to talk about my trip with my pirate friends to Las Vegas. However, I intend on only hitting some of the highlights as opposed to rambling on and on as I do normally.

Hello stranger
Yeah, it's been a while since my last post. Yeah, any number of things happened between then and now that are worth reporting. However it is hard to report when you really have nothing to say. In the attempts of remaining current, I'll provide the following recap.

A bumper sticker that says "No blood for oil" on a car that doesn't look to get good gas mileage.
Yes? No? -
Why must they hurt the ones that love them?

Just went I felt they couldn't find their way out of the basement a couple of weeks ago with a string of loses that would make a sewage attendant blush, they turn it around to win five in a row. That's a team record for straight wins folks. People were talking playoffs again ( Read more... ) -
The Icicle Classic
It's that time again where I regale you all with yarns about my excursions into the glamorous life of competitive fencing. This event takes us to exotic Lincoln, NE where Omaha is suitably mutual and the corn is decidedly husked.

Let's Keggle!
It was a pretty uneventful weekend, for a change. Nothing planned and I was perfectly fine with the prospect ( Read more... )
