Our trip to California was a lot of fun. We saw lots of familiar faces and places, and hung out with some great people.
After spending a couple days with Thea’s folks in Las Vegas, we headed to Los Osos to stay with our old friends, Bryan and Molly. We always have a great time with [...]
This whole $700 billion bailout thing has me riled. I do think there is a time and place for the government to step in, but I don’t believe this is it. These banks got greedy. End of story.
I heard a great Fresh Air interview with a NYT economy writer last night, and it really helped [...]
We had a great time at the wedding of Rob and Emily. Well, I did. Thea did a great job on the song we prepared, but she didn’t feel very good most of the time.
Saw some old friends and was drafted as the sound guy/"roadie." It was good to contribute to the frivolity. Many thanks [...]
We made it to San Francisco, but we suffered a 50% casualty rate. Thea somehow picked up a bug - probably food poisoning - and she’s feeling very low. She missed out on the get-together we had last night with some old friends, which I know she was looking forward to.
Today is the wedding, and [...]
We’re winding up our visit to San Luis Obispo this evening and rolling out of town tomorrow. It’s been a great visit with old friends.
Walking around SLO today was fun - perfect weather, the students just arrived, and everything is gorgeous. It was a beautiful place to live.
We came half-expecting feelings of regret for [...]
I received an email this afternoon from a well-intentioned friend of mine. The email listed a bunch of books Sarah Palin supposedly sought to have banned when she became mayor of a small Alaskan town.
Since there were so many amazing classics in the list, my B.S. detector went off. I looked it up on [...]
Many of our friends are well-acquainted with our passion for margaritas. We’ve been both celebrated and reviled for our parties that feature margaritas by the bucket.
The recipe is a near-match to the famous Rio Grande margaritas. The Rio Grande Restaurant started as a hole-in-the-wall in my hometown of Ft. Collins, Colorado. From there it [...]
One of my clients is a high school reunion organizer. She hires me to build and maintain the sites used for registering and other reunion-related stuff. These sites are built in Joomla 1.0.15 on Linux/MySQL servers. She uses GoDaddy for her hosting provider.
I’m usually able to simply copy/paste the last site I made for her [...]
Took me long enough, but here I am finally writing about our excellent visit with friends up in the mountains last weekend. First, we were only gone about 30 hours. But this was one of those trips that actually felt like a lot more - in a GOOD way.
Our friends, H & A, have a [...]
