    As I was publishing the post below, I noticed that it was taking forever. So I looked into it a bit. It must be a bad computer day in general. I found out that our webhost had to take their servers down for some emergency maintenance and they won’t be back up until 11 tonight.…

    You know that stupid video entitled “bad day” that people used to send around when funny email forwards first started to catch on? It was going around about the same time as the one with the monkey smelling his finger. I could probably link to it on youtube, but I’m assuming that you know the…

    I found a penny in the elevator lobby of my floor, just now, when I was on my way out for the night. So if I apply the old adage of “all the day you will have good luck,” this was pretty poor timing. I only have a little less than 3 hours of luck,…

    Chris Rock made this corny movie in the 90’s called CB4. One of the best parts in the movie is when some cops arrive at an apparent murder scene. The victm is so covered in gold chains, you can’t even see his chains. One of the detectives says to another cop “looks like he died…

    Piper is still at Columbia. She is having a procedure done tomorrow to try to alleviate some of the problems she has been having with vomiting and digestion. We still aren’t really sure what it involves yet, but I think that we will find out after the doctors have rounds tomorrow morning. All of that…

    Today, of course is Fathers Day. I think that for the majority of my life I took for granted all of the great fathers that have helped to shape my life. I had the privilege of being best buddies with my great grandfather when I was just a little squirt. He would teach me how…

    Piper has been doing much much better, over the last couple of days. Thursday night Kelly and Kate got here. So they went with Reagan and hung out with Piper pretty much all morning. They got some pretty nice pictures of the little cousins hanging out. It was a lucky thing that they were able…

    My knees have really been hurting lately, which has been a bit of a deterrent from running. So I have been trying to eat a little bit more health consciously. In doing so, I learned that Chile exports a lot of apples to the US. Anyway I totally blew it this afternoon. I ate half…

    Reagan’s sister, Kelly is coming to visit us tonight. We are pretty excited about it. It will be my first time to meet our new niece Kate. Reagan was able to go to Atlanta to meet her in May. It should be a pretty fun time. Piper is back in town, and I think that…

    OK, I have been working on this crap for a while now. I was trying to decide what would be the best way for us to be able to host our own pics, but be able to display them in a less boring format than the previous galleries, that we put together in frontpage. We…
