To Boldly Go…

Ok… Ok… Fine… I’m a Star Trek Nerd.  There.  Happy?  But you know you are too… everyone is at heart.  It was a terrible stigma you felt as a child and you were afraid people would add it to the list of things they made fun of you for and they didn’t really need another [...]

Sick…

I’ve got that kind of sick going where everything hurts.  Everywhere.  It hurts to stand up.  It hurts to lay down.  Hurts to releive yourself.  Everything.
So I went to the docs today, they prescribed some medication.  Took it to the pharmacy to get filled, they couldn’t read the hand writing on the prescription slip.  So [...]

Drink Coffee!

OH!  That’s why I do stupid things… lots of them… fast… and entheusiastically!
I saw this sign at the coffee station in Denver office I was at last week.  Classic.  It explains so many things about me.

Shaken, Not Stirred

Last night I saw the new Bond movie, Quantum of Solace.

Ridiculously Action Packed Car Chase Scene: CHECK
Insanely Physically Abusive Foot Chase Scene: DOUBLE CHECK
James gettin’ busy with a fellow she-spy or co-worker: CHECK
Excessive body count: CHECK
Evil genius trying to take over the world: CHECK
Alcohol abuse: CHECK

There hasn’t been a Bond movie made that I don’t [...]

SNOW!

All week long people in Denver had been telling me that it doesn’t really snow in Denver proper – just outside of Denver.  Or at least when it does snow, it will melt away the next day.  And so far this year, no snow.  Until today, the day I’m going to the airport to fly [...]

Now that’s a sampler!!

Still in Denver!!
This has got to be the only time I’ve seen deer on the drive into and from the parking lot of the office.  This morning as I was driving in, saw a big buck hopping a fence – he had just crossed the road (why – cause he was jealous of the chicken! [...]

Great View

Greetings again from Denver.  I was out exploring (i.e. trying to find a good place to watch this Eagles game, at least the first half which I watched out, but alas jet-lag is dragging me back to my hotel room to watch this great second half!)… anyways, so I took a drive down to the [...]

Mile High

Greetings from the Mile High City!
My new job (2 1/2 months now) has me traveling frequently.  So far all my travel has been down to the Washington DC area.  This week, however, I’m out here in Denver, CO.  Flight out here was good, no delays which when flying out of Philly is a plus.  I [...]

Hail to the Chief

I’m happy that Obama has earned the people’s vote to be our next President.  I beleive he will bring about a change that this country needs.  He already has brought about a new world wide image of the United States – seeing the reactions in Australia, Nigeria, and everywhere from Tuesday night was amazing.
I commented [...]

Democracy In Action

Today is truly a historical day.  There’s no question about it.  All the politics aside, think about it – today will be elected for the first time either an African American President, or a Female Vice President.  Earlier in the campaigns it was a big deal, but not so much lately.  And I’m not saying [...]
