I found a puppy without a collar on my way to work yesterday.  It was a real nice looking something (I'm not good with identifying animals in their specifics).  After trying to get a hold of some animal control folks I attempted to lure it back to my house.  We got about halfway there before the morning rush of joggers and walkers kept distracting ( Read more... )

 So, the other I was coming home from work via Chester Bowl park on my bike.  I came tearing out of the woods and began crossing the soccer field towards the main paved road.  On the other side of the field at some picnic tables were two folks- a man and a woman- looking like they were setting up for a nice outside meal.  The woman had her back to ( Read more... )

Thing 1- I got together with that girl Jillian and had a really good time.  To be honest, talking to her was a real breathe of fresh air, but I don't know if she's (to quote Pink Floyd) "the kind of girl who fits in with my world".  After talking a walk on the boardwalk we hit up Sir Ben's for a brew and laughed about past Conan O'Brien antics.  It ( Read more... )

With a live show coming up in a matter of months, it's time to solidify a name.  I've been going with "The Loox" for a while now, but is it the ( Read more... )

Life is good again.

This past fortnight has been memorable.  Stockfest 4 was a sold-out success with Motion City Soundtrack delivering the good.  Despite not being a huge fan at first, seeing them live has made me an appreciater.

I finished up with my first grad school class.  For the final assignment I decided to do a group assessment on the Scooby- ( Read more... )

Well, it's been a busy week what with (1) getting back from Africa, (2) closing on a house in Duluth just 10 hours after touching down in Minneapolis, (3) getting ready for a half Ironman near Vancouver and (4) many people to talke to.  Sorry if you've called and I haven't gotten back to you..

So, I'll spare everyone the details of Africa and tell ( Read more... )

I just got back from a substantial walk through the East Hill Side area.  Nothing but one terrifying Clue mansion after the next.  I'd like to live there someday.  On my walk I got to thinking about a lot of things- mostly recalling the past few days ( Read more... )

OK, Dan, per agreement.  Two questions will be "cashed in" when and if the bet is seen through.  All terns are nullified if the bet does not come to a conclusion.  Dan shall retain his 4 total questions until used or until bet is seen through.  There will be no exchanges otherwise.  This is a gentleman's bet and no losses or gains will occur ( Read more... )
