No, it’s not a hurricane, but it’s one nasty track of weather bearing down upon us even as I write this:

That long train of storms sticking out perpendicular to the coast appears to be headed towards the Pearland area like a javelin, so that all of it will all pass right across our house. Where […]

Happy birthday to Summer. Daddy loves you, babe.

The web site from tonight’s fake Hanso Foundation advertisement during LOST was hansocareers.com. Various “jobs” advertised, including Anger Management Director, Organ Courier, and Simian Veterinarian. Something I noticed: certain letters in the job descriptions are displayed in gray. The letters are: n, s, l, u, t, m, i, e, m, a, y, a. No obvious […]

Congratulations, Christopher!

Looks like fun. I wish I could have been there.

Tuesday afternoon I plugged in the router, and everything just worked. I still have a little tweaking to do, but most everything […]

Tonight the Hanso Foundation ad directed us to letyourcompassguideyou.com. I ran to the computer and typed it in, but there was no response. The site must be swamped with millions of other LOST fans doing the same. I’ll try again in the morning.

It only took me 45 minutes on the phone with Earthlink and Road Runner technical support (they kept transferring me to each other) to convince them of what I had already figured out: my cable modem had burn out its PC port. They told me I could just walk into the local Time Warner store […]

Where’s you sergeant, men?
BLOWED UP, SIR!
That was probably the only funny moment in Stripes, an otherwise forgettable movie. Well, I now have several pieces of equipment that have joined Sergeant Hulka in the BLOWED UP category.
Yesterday we had a Mother’s Day dinner and invited Fred, Jackie, and Jackie’s mom Cindy to join all of us […]
