Originally published at Jen’s Corner. You can comment here or there. Tuesday I went to the zoo again. We get a membership every year, because we want to support their rescue efforts, but we don’t really go very often. I got some pretty cool pictures this time – it was a nice, breezy morning. Here’s the rest of the pictures. School is going pretty well. I seem to be getting A’s on all my English essays, though I’m not sure exactly how. History is going well too. I dropped Spanish II though; I felt like I didn’t retain anything from…

Originally published at Jen’s Corner. You can comment here or there. Last Thursday, Rob and I had the fantastic opportunity to go to Bracken Bat Cave and watch around 20 million bats emerge from their cave to go hunting. Of course, we didn’t see that many bats – we were told it takes almost all night for the entire colony to emerge. It was incredible. As we walked up to the area above the cave, we first noticed the stench of bat (and, apparently, beetle) guano. It wasn’t too bad, but fairly powerful. After the initial blast it wasn’t very…

Here’s an “after” picture: Half of that stuff on the left is for the theoretical garage sale we’ll have after we get through at least some of the junk room. Hopefully. More pictures on how we spent a four-day Memorial day weekend after the cut!

I’d really love to see what he’d do in a foot of snow, but that ain’t happening here. It’s still falling, and sticking pretty good, but if we get a whole inch of actual snow, I’d be surprised. EDIT: Yeah, it’s more rain than snow right now, and what snow there is is slushifying. Yes, that is a word. I swear it is. Anyway, the icicles are melting off the roof. But, my outdoor temp gauge says 31, and…

Well, consistency eludes me so far. Again. Oh well. :) It appears that Gallery is still working for me. Hopefully, that will continue. I have no idea why it broke before. I'm pretty sure it had something to do with the database, but other than that I haven't the foggiest. Anyhow, I'm working on getting my albums back up properly. Here's a few recent samples: I made myself a quite serviceable BPAL box! I cut some styrofoam to fit tightly in a former chocolate box: Today, I had the urge to make cookies. They turned out fabulous! Not to toot…

Originally published at Jen’s Corner. You can comment here or there. Here it is, 9 pm and I’m close to bending one of my so-called New Years Resolutions, or “Yeah, Rights” as I call them. Let’s see: Post more consistently. More content! :) Start “playing” Yourself!Fitness and DDR more often Keep up to date w/ Moneydance Get the photo albums back up on my website I’ve got a couple more personal ones as well. New day, new month, new year – let’s see how they’ll turn out. 2006 was a pretty good year for us, overall. It was fairly uneventful,…

The in-laws sent us some pictures of sqlrob when he was but a lad. This prompted me to see if my scanner still works. <chuckles evilly> It does, however Mac OSX doesn’t like it. Apparently, HP doesn’t have drivers for my model – guess it’s too old. It works just fine on my Win98 box – haven’t turned that poor thing on in months! So here’s sqlrob now… … and here he is in college…

But I think I was just cursed by my dinner tonight. We stopped at Ocean China on the way home from work tonight. Sesame chicken, yum. Here’s my fortune:
