Weekend Summary
While waiting for my hot code generation tool to finish getting all my updated DB tables, I’ll give you the rundown from the weekend.
Friday night I went to the Worst. Party. Ever. It was a co-worker of the SLF, and it was just a big dumb bad college party. I think there should [...]

Fair and Balanced
While reading a very funny story about how Tucker Carlson gave out Fox News Channel’s number instead of his own while on CNN, and FNC returned the favor by posting his HOME number (Can’t these ultra-conservative wags get along?), I wanted to check out the FNC site to see if I could find the story [...]

Coopers
Ben, a friend of Brian and Jen was coming through town on his way to see his wife down at Quantico, so I did some creative schedule juggling at work and took yesterday off to go down and climb at Coopers Rock with them. Only problem is that we no sooner got down there [...]

Kitty update
Sidney seems to be pretty much back to normal, so of course the two brothers decided that they should both start sneezing like mad.

The root of all Middle East problems?
“Hamas leader Sheikh Ahmed Yassin emerged from hiding and denounced President Bush’s speech to the United Nations as a declaration of war on Islam. Yassin also said that if he gets his hands on The One Ring, Israel is really gonna get it.”

Animal Planet
I did not have a very good animal day yesterday.
First of all, my one cat, Sidney, is sick. He’s been sneezing for the last few days, so I call the vet to see if I should bring him in, or if it’s just one of those low-grade things that will pass. The woman [...]

Shop ’till ya drop.
Whew! Being domestic is hard! I had a new recipie for sauted chicken and artichoke hearts I wanted to try out, so I was hoping to just pick up a slightly larger pan and some wooden spoons and be out of there. Oh, no. After getting a Calphalon pan, a new [...]

Lunchtime conversation.
Pat told me while I was waiting in line for my salad about the exchange he had with his lovely wife this weekend.
Pat: What’s that you’re reading?
Lisa: It’s a cookbook.
Pat: What’s it called?
Lisa: It’s called How To Cook Everything.
Pat: But I’m not that hungry.

Weekend Wrapup
A very nice weekend, with lovely post-hurricaine weather. Saturday was pretty low-key; just did some coding and got out for a short bike ride in the fresh air. Sunday went bouldering down at Coopers, which was a fun, although a bit more humid than I would have thought, seeing as how it was [...]
