In case you are wondering, I got this one, but not for that price and not exactly to those specs :)

All I have to say is woo hoo! Now to put all the stuff I actually need on it…

I have run my half-marathon. I crossed the finish line at about 2:00:00, which means I had a pace of about 9:10. Wahoo! More info when I get it. Now if you’ll excuse me I’m going to go ice my poor legs…

I have a portfolio on my portfolio site! Wahoo!

I’ll be (attempting) to add stuff to it daily, or at least a couple of times per week. Let the fun begin!

I don’t know what to say, other than I am awestruck and jealous. I like to think I have good handwriting, but this guy puts me to shame. I only wonder how many hours and trees he had to go through to achieve this level of prowess at calligraphy. Amazing, especially with the juxtoposition of the child doing lettering beside him.

Garfield Minus Garfield has been one such encounter for me. Beyond the sheer bizarreness (and hilarity), they offer a poignant glimpse into the human condition and life as modern man (or woman).

Officially. I’ve taken precedent (kind of) from Mike Davidson, and am purposefully leaving my site erroneous(in some eyes). Just to let everyone know, I’ll be including a link in the footer to this article. That’s right, each and every page will announce that my site doesn’t play well with others… and by “others” I mean specifically Microsoft Internet Expolorer. I hearby officially end my support for IE until some things change.

More details when I have time to finish this post.

The drop-off recycling centers (found at many Kroger stores in the area) are now accepting  plastic containers with recycle codes 1-7 stamped on them!  In addition, they will also be taking other plastics such as grocery bags, heavy plastic wrapping, such as the kind on paper towels and toilet paper, plastic bottle lids and more!

About to head down to the doctor’s office to see what kind of bug has laid me out for the past day and a half. I guess I was due up, last time I was sick was almost two years ago. Go immune system!
