working
Working in downtown St Paul, 50 - 60 hours a week. Weekends, go camping or try to get things done. Got pulled in this week and was told 45 - 47 hours a week, tops, plus weekend project work. The paychecks have been nice but my routine is hopelessly screwed up. Spending way too much $ on skyway food, and I think I'm gaining weight. Quit doing ( Read more... ) -
July 4th parade
You know it's a long, hot parade when the kids are asking for double shots of water. To water the band, we walk down the line of kids when the parade stops moving. They open their mouth and tilt the head slightly back. Take the squirt bottle and fill them up with a mouthful of water. Any more and it goes all over the place. We parents were ( Read more... ) -

At the last minute Madi pinned socks all over herself and duct taped a little sign on her chest that said "static cling". Then she went out trick or treating and brought back a fair amount. I asked her to see her loot, and she looked ( Read more... ) -
New Clip Posted to YouTube
All things considered happy with the way it turned out. But now I have that song churning through my head. HD takes forever to render, I bet I waited an hour and a half for it to get done. I had to scrub the computer, deleted 8 gig of windows cached crap and stopped a bunch of stuff from autostarting. Otherwise the render would just die. -
Elvis.com
Back in 2001 I had an elvis.com email address. Then they started charging for them; now it looks like you can't get them at all. Has the internet gone sour or what? Can't even get an elvis.com email address anymore.
Tell ya what though, somebody gave me an Elvis dot com gift certificate I would just about die from indecision.
