Sometimes I'm ashamed of my gender.

*sigh*

I called the dealership to check on my car. He said that they'd reset the idle and that he car was running fine for them. Sooo...I called Samantha. We drove to pick up the car. I'd not driven 3 miles when the car started acting up again. Same thing. Drove it back to the dealership and went back out on the road with the mechanic(who I found out was ( Read more... )

Nope, the car still isn't fixed. Mind you, the car has not been working properly since November 21st. The mechanics are baffled as to what is causing the car to lope, cut back, or stall completely out. A baffled mechanic is not a good thing, and is usually very costly ( Read more... )

The past few days have been full of stress, but there have been great moments among them.

Friday evening, Samantha and I were going to my old church to see minstrel pianist David McClintock perform. I'd seen him twice before, and was very excited about Samantha seeing him perform. We got into my car to leave and as we drove onto the road in front of ( Read more... )

The fact that Leonard Nimoy agreed to have anything to do with it does give me hope, despite some ( Read more... )

Last Monday was my birthday. My wife and I went out to O' Charley's for a meal, and then to Best Buy. I was shocked to see how much  they'd downsized the CD and DVD departments. Downloading is taking its toll, and I'm feeling every bit the old timer that my birthday would indicate. Yes, it's more green to do everything digitally, but I love my ( Read more... )

This past weekend, Samantha asked me if I was used to wearing the wedding band by now. I proudly said yes, and that I wasn't leaving it in the bathroom as much after I shower. I take it off then, as it is just a little loose at times, and I want to be careful not to lose it down the drain or some such ( Read more... )

I'd predicted Obama by 5%, and it looks as if the margin is 6%. Not too shabby.

I thought both Obama and McCain gave the best speeches they'd made since the conventions. McCain was much more like the McCain of old. If he led his campaign over the last few weeks with that gracious attitude, more people might have responded to him. I still think that ( Read more... )
