We had a great Halloween tonight.  Mira was dressed as Snow White, and Xander was dressed as a Knight.  We all had a wonderful time walking around the neighborhood and trick or treating.  We made our biggest circuit of the neighborhood yet, since the kids were more up for it this year.  We had a [...]

My Aching Wrist

I broke down and picked up Guitar Hero 3 yesterday (for the 360, of course).  I had a ton of fun with it last night.  The only down side of it is that my left wrist and fingers are a little bit sore today from all the playing I did last night.  It is a [...]

I turned 35 years old yesterday.  I had a great day.  I got to sleep in late.  Then I came downstairs and the kids were super excited that it was my birthday.  We opened presents and I got to enjoy all the stuff that they and others had picked out for me.  Then I got [...]

Gmail has added IMAP. Thanks to Mike I found out that Gmail has been enabling IMAP. I went and checked, and I’m one of the lucky accounts that has it enabled. I’ve got it all set up and running. It was a big feature that kept me from using my gmail account as much as [...]

Rain at last!

We’ve finally gotten some rain the last couple of days.  It has been dry here.  We are on mandatory water restrictions and such. We’ve had a nice soaking rain the last couple of days.  It doesn’t fix things, but it sure helps.  We just need it to do this off and on for a while.

Three friends and I finished the fight on Legendary last night! It was a lot of fun to play through the game at that hard level with a group of friends. I highly recommend the experience to anyone who has finished the campaign on their own. It really gave a different feel to the game. [...]

Still Working

Filed under Personal, Work

I’ve still got a job. We had big layoffs today at work, but I made it through ok. It was a rough day though, lots of good people were let go. It’ll be rough for a while, getting used to things without them. I’m trying to be happy for myself, but it’s hard to see [...]

So I went with the kids on a field trip to Crooked Run Orchard today.  We had a lot of fun picking apples.  We brought home 20 pounds of york, golden delicious, and rome apples.  I’m not quite sure what we will do with all of them, but the kids had a great time picking [...]

I just finished the fight!  No spoilers.  My reaction to the ending is mixed though.
