Made it back from vacation. Went mostly fine, despite spending one of the days in bed and/or hugging a toilet from some bad food poisoning or something. Naturally, that was our nicest day at the beach. Just the same, good time was had by all. Now I’m just buried in playing catch up after being away from the office for a week.
Bye
I’m heading out of town for a week or so to a place where my cell phone gets no reception and I’ll have no ‘net access. I’m unplugging. Work (or anybody else) won’t be able to get a hold of me without a hassle. It’ll be me, the kids, and the Oregon Coast. And I’m going to do absolutely nothing, and enjoy every minute of it. Sis-in-law will be watching over the house while we’re gone.
Back in a week. Be good. Feel free to open random discussion in the comments.

Time Killer For The Evening
Thanks to the folks at I Am Bored, a fun little game.
Wanna Place Any Bets?
The war has already begun in my neighborhood — really, it’s been going for days already. I have the TV turned up don’t have to listen to what sound like bombs going off every 30 seconds. Everybody already knows how I feel about this holiday, and even if I wanted to be out enjoying it, my youngest daughter is sick, so I’m home with her while my wife and other daughter are out having a good ol’ time.
While everybody’s out boozing and blowing stuff up, lest we never forget what this holiday is really about.
Anybody want to make any bets on percentage of the Butte that gets put up in flames this year? It was pretty hot and dry today, so I expect some flames.
What Happens When You Drop A 50 pound ball of Silly Putty Off A Ten-Story Building?
Here’s a hint: It doesn’t bounce.
Kids These Days Have It So Easy
Forcing them to carry around a Walkman instead of their iPod will humble them a bit.
When the Sony Walkman was launched, 30 years ago this week, it started a revolution in portable music. But how does it compare with its digital successors? The Magazine invited 13-year-old Scott Campbell to swap his iPod for a Walkman for a week.
This Movie Seems Familiar
This guy makes a great argument for Star Wars, Star Trek, The Matrix, and Harry Potter actually being the same movie.
