    Today was the stereotypical Monday. By the time I was getting out of the subway, the B-berry was already buzzing out of the holster. I walked into my office to the phone ringing and 4 voicemails. So awesome. Enough of that crap though. I had a few thoughts, and transactions today that broke me out…

  • Rossi goes down in the first, Stoner coasts to victory, Pedrosa takes over as points leader

    I don’t think that anyone was expecting to see what happened this weekend in Holland. It was crazy from the first lap to the last. Out of the grid, Pedrosa was able to get ahead of Stoner. I think that if Rossi could have teamed up on Stoner, with Pedrosa, it would have been a…

    I know that it has become a massive cleche, about the weekend being too short, but this one really seemed that way. I’m not really complaining though. I worked from home on Friday, so it was almost like I got a head start on the weekend. Anyway, my absention from non-water beverages was cut short…

    From the first few laps of FP1, Stoner has been on a mission this weekend. He pulled down times faster than anyone. But in the qualifier, he took the lid off of the can and went completely nuts. He will start on poll tomorrow, earned with the fasted lap time ever run on a motorcycle…

  • Economic Overstimulus Plan

    We received our economic stimulus check this week. Woo hoo, the economy has been stimulated. Everything is now better. When I remember George W. Bush, I’m going to remember the way he saved the economy by mailing me a check. sarcasm aside, I guess I can’t complain too much. I did, after all, deposit the…

  • Going on Three Days Sans Coke

    Here I am on day three of my acne strike. It is going better than I had hoped, from a self control perspective. Both yesterday and today, when I came into work I opened up the coke drawer, to do my morning routine, which is put 2 or 3 of them in the refrigerator. Instantly…

    Reagan had the day off yesterday. So she decided that it was time to give Piper some pigtails. Pretty darn cute, if you ask me. Here is a link to more pictures of her, last weekend, and yesterday.

    Jake

    I’m not really sure what the deal is, but for the last couple of weeks, I have been having worse acne than I have ever had in my life! It is not only embarrassing, but it is really just starting to piss me off. Part of the problem is that I sit in front of…

    Piper is still at Columbia. She was supposed to be having a procedure done today which would modify her G-tube into a GJ-tube. The G-tube is the tube that she is fed with. It goes directly into her stomach. She has been having a lot of reflux lately and as a result, her doctors have…
