Here I am again, lax in my updating...  Bad me...  Bad, bad me ( Read more... )

Here's something that really gets me.  Gas prices have been dropping nicely, returning to the $2.00 mark that we hadn't seen in a while.  On the way into work, I noted that my gas gauge was on empty.  The gas station by the off ramp was at $1.99, so I figured I'd fill up after work, and all would be well.  Off at 4:30, I cruise back over there, ( Read more... )

Y'know, it figures that some sort of monkey wrench must be thrown into one's plans for the start of a long weekend.  It just can't be a proper long weekend if someone / thing interferes with your plans to hit the weekend running.  I had all sorts of nice little plans tonight, since my wife is spending the night with her sister, preparing for the ( Read more... )

Well, I've taken the plunge. I'm sending in the paperwork to Catholic Charities for them to start a search for my birth father. Hopefully this will be as successful as my previous search for my birth mother...
