Time for my once every 2 or 3 month update. Well, since I've shown time and time again that writing a few paragraphs is just beyond me I'll show pictures. Here are a few from a trip I took to Mexico a few weeks ago. Michelle and I went to Playa del Carmen (about 45 minutes south of Cancun). It was absolutely beautiful (and all inclusive... i.e ( Read more... )

I'm sure most people that work in an office environment will identify with me when I say that there are some weird f*&^ing people out there. Lately however these little personally quirks that so many people in my building possess have become so frequent I feel the need to write them down so I may vent my general awe at humanity's short straws ( Read more... )

She described it as have big people eyes and wrinkly skin like a sharpai... her quote, "She's like this cute little alien thing ( Read more... )

Last night I almost died! Okay, maybe that's a slight over exaggeration but, I swear I thought I might. I was walking with Michelle in my neighborhood. We were trying to find the house of one of her friends but weren't having much luck. I knew it was close to my house, but wasn't a 100% on which street we had to turn on.

Well, I'm off to Vegas. I'm presenting a research paper at the 52nd annual JANNAF propulsion conference. Wish me luck. I have to speak to a bunch of geeky scientist and engineers and try to convince them that I know what I'm talking about.

Had a wonderful weekend celebrating my birthday (it was Sunday, May 2nd). On Friday Michelle took me to dinner at a "secret" location. All I was told was that I should were a suit and it's in DC. Well, turned out she took me to Ruth Chris steak house. This was my first time there, geez o' flip, they have fantastic food. I completely understand ( Read more... )
