Another underwhelming blog....

So I just noticed that the last post "Theft of the Magi" was my 666th post - thereby making it the post of the Devil. Want proof? see for yourself.

And now for the office scene that I hurt painfully on this morning... (it's a webisode or whatever catchy phrase they use for an Internet only clip)...

Harrison and I agree :)

Steve Perry was a god!!!

The true purpose of the Internet is to reveal talent such as this...

xkcd - A Webcomic - Theft of the Magi

Thanks Will (for turning me on to this comic). :)

Amy has been cataloging our books (mostly hers, but I'm like 1 in 10) and she's up to 726 so far and it occured to me. I've not really acknowledged this truth...

America has a black president. I know he's only half black, but he looks like a black man. He's not Palmer (from 24), but he's definitely the same color (mostly).

I just didn't expect America to grow up so soon and get over the racial stuff. I guess now we just need a lady president to take care of everything.

http://www.pietros.net - Sure they are our customer, but we love eating at Pietro's. It's a toss up (ouch) between them and Pizza King for the best non-franchise pizza in town. Harrison says "I've got a lot of pizza in my belly". :)

Got the phone call today that my dad passed away today at 1:30 pm. I am glad that he is not longer in pain. I am also happy that I was able to not hold anything against him.

until we are on the plane to NEW YORK!!! We are so exctied to see Jenny and her family. I hope it does not rain to much if any while we are there. We will also celebrate our 3rd anniversary while we are there. We are planning on going some where nice for dinner and maybe then go to the empire state building. It is SO PRETTY at night!! We will post photos when we get back.

Pay special attention to Harrison's facial expressions. He's so Metal and he doesn't even know it...

I was looking at socwall.com to get a new wallpaper since I resmoked my machine and I stumbled upon this picture of a ton of heroes (marvel, dc, watchmen, talk show hosts, etc). I know noone even watches the Simpsons any more, but this is a neat picture. Enjoy...

Today I got a call telling me that my father, Barry Moore admitted himself into a Hospices Home. He is tired of hurting and is ready to go. They have just about gotten his meds just right. For him to be sleeping continuously without pain until he passes away. I don't want him to suffer any longer so I pray that the good Lord takes him soon. The nurses told John and I Saturday that it of course is just a matter of time.

Steve and Jason have been my business partners for 10 years. I've known Steve for about 4 more than that and Jason for about 2 more, so we've known each other for quite some time and we spend on average 40 to 45 hours a week around each other. The odd thing is ... we've never really considered each other as friends. We get along, but we are first and foremost partners. Today we did something fun together. We took off at 4:30 and went to the driving range to hit a few. I actually had a customer call w/ an "emergency" at 4:20, but after I explained that I had a previous meeting about to happen they admitted that it would wait till tomorrow and all was well.

I'm attempting to learn to play golf. I've taken a lesson and have two more on the way to give me some sort of basis for how to play, but the truth is... I expect to go out there and play to get good. I also expect to suck for a long time before getting decent (much like playing Rock Band on hard). I have business reasons for learning, but to be honest once I got over the whole "old guy" aspect of golf I'm finding it more appealing. I guess being a blue collar kid who grew up around hunting and fishing I never got exposed to any organized sports, but this one seems to be something I can pull off (eventually). At least I'll have some fun and relax a little bit... :)

I'm pretty sure George Lucas has an eye into my soul.

I'm now the proud owner of a brother 2170W Wireless Laser Printer. Apparently the deal I got was killer and temporary since we only paid 85 bux (shipping and all) from newegg.com and now it's 135 plus shipping. I'm just geeked to be able to have a printer that is just plugged into the power and that's all - no network cable (even though it does have an ethernet port as well). Anyway - happy printering for me!

Well over the weekend we finished up on the bathroom. We finally go the molding done! It is such a nice feeling to have it all completed. That is about all we done...it took up more time than what we had though. Oh well.

Ok.. that is the coolest thing EVER!!!! Wanna go fast!

So I'm attempting to learn to play golf. I went and took my first lesson today and it was way funner than I expected it to be. Once I got my grip right and stopped wiggling around so much I actually knocked the shit out of the ball and the instructor was actually impressed. I'm sure I'll suck for some time, but as long as I don't fear the sucking I can probably improve. I'm looking at it the way I looked at playing on Hard (Rock Band, Guitar Hero) where the only way to improve is to overcome the sucking long enough to get better and get back to having fun. I'm not on Expert yet, so obviously I want some of the enjoyment part still, but one of these days :)

Anyway - at least golf shoes don't look too weird anymore.
