It says something, I’m not sure what, that I refuse to get sick during the week. I have been miserable all weekend, coughing up lung monkeys, blowing my nose and finding rubber cement in the kleenex and feeling just horrible. I have a doctor’s appointment tomorrow morning to get some drugs and hopefully head off […]

Don’t fight the Man… it only leads to pain, my friend. To explain, web standards: CSS, DIV’s, XHTML, the whole “separating content from display” nonsense, etc… it’s hard. It’s really hard. It’s especially hard when you have an extremely wide range of browsers to support, a rigid and uncompromising client, a design that doesn’t lend […]

one word. so little time. – You have sixty seconds to write about one word. We used to do that kind of thing in writing class my freshman year at BYU. Go try it out, have a ball.

I was on fire today. I was on the ball, “en fuego”, all that and a bag of chips and smokin’. I ruled. I was “tha man”. I could do no wrong. I was the master of all I surveyed. I was the king of the hill, the top, A number one, the big cheese, […]

I made it in to work to bring you: Snow@AOL. The drive in was a blast. Four wheel drive, ten – twenty miles an hour the whole way, the roads are a disgrace and I had way too much fun doing it. If it lasts much longer, it won’t be so much fun, but I […]

It’s snowing!! I was so excited last night, I couldn’t sleep. 5-6″ so far and more coming down. I’m gonna see if the camera will wake up and am gonna go take some pictures then crawl into work in my 4×4. The snow started around 11pm. At midnight, I used taking out the trash as […]

It is a sad day in LawverLand. Not only are Jen and Max still out of town, but my lovely Powerbook has died. It refuses to start up, and emits four tones before deciding not to do anything. According to Apple, it means the RAM or Boot ROM is dead…. which means I either get […]

I’m sick. I’ve decided that I don’t like travelling. I like my own house with its known and compensated for allergens, my pillow, my tv (and TiVo) and my couch. My ears, nose and sinuses are decompressing. They’ve been at 3500 feet for two weeks and being near sea level is driving them crazy. It […]

So much to say, so much to say, but there’s also a ton of stuff to do my last two days in Tucson. I’ll have a whole category of Tucson posts and a ton of pictures from our trips to the Desert Museum, the Zoo, the Pima Air Museum and other stuff. I get back […]

Another in the series of things I love about Tucson: Mexican restaurants out-number McDonalds almost two to one. There’s a drive-through Taco joint on almost every corner. It’s great!! I’ve gone to get breakfast almost every morning since we got here: huevos rancheros for me, steak ranchero for Jen and a gigantic quesadilla for Max […]
