… one of them arrived yesterday! I now own art! The cowboy art that I purchased is much better offline, than online 🙂 I got print 74 out of 100! I think my theme for art is going to be faceless men.

Is that a Dorito in your pocket?
Yesterday (that would be Friday, to the day-minus-one challenged) Ian invited us to his work's annual Frito Lay @ Six Flags. Bobby, Brian S. Scott, Jonas and myself went as part of Ian's pack, and commenced our frito-fun around 6 (well, Bobby, Brian and Ian had gotten there earlier and taken part in the margarita… Continue reading
I won!
Not sure if I mentioned it in my earlier posts, but yesterday I dabbled into eBay, and put a bid on two pieces of art (one print, and one original charcoal drawing). The auction closed today, and I won – BOTH! Artist: Lee Goersch Artist: Michael Breyette All images are copyright by the respective artists.
An end to the long weekend
Well the weekend is finally coming to a close. Overall it was a lot of fun, with a lot of relaxation, and the right amount of social interaction. Last night after the political shock announced by my mother, I didn't get to bed until after 4AM! I was obviously… what is the word, verklempt (said… Continue reading

Poo, bum, shite (UK version!)

Everything else, I mean, EVERYTHING is the same, and it's working like a charm. Some days I wonder if the spiritual jesters are just plain mean.
Where the hell is technical support?
I swear, sometimes I get things into my head to fix something, only to realize that I really shouldn't have wasted my time. Today I am working on correcting a problem with our email server. Someone “out there” can send a message to one of us “in here” and 6-12 hours later we might get… Continue reading
Out in Arizona
Well two things worth reporting on today. Firstly, Chris got an email asking if he was interested in heading down to Florida to assist in insurance issues, a la State Farm Nat Cat days. The proposal is pretty amazing, and if he can do this, then it would be a great financial opportunity for him… Continue reading
