Took a little trip to Toronto with Steve, Elizabeth and Mark for MLK day weekend. Fun. Very nice city to visit, went to the CN Tower, Hockey Hall of Fame, Royal Ontario Museum, Toronto Science Center and Casa Loma. Also spent some time wandering around town. Toronto has an amazing… Continue reading →

Olive Garden

I went to Olive Garden tonight to join Lynn for his birthday.  That much was good, it’s good to have a group get together on someone’s birthday. But…I noticed for the first time the pushing of the wines. Maybe it’s because I’ve only been there with parents before, that they… Continue reading →

Today

Damn… I wish I could somehow save today and replay it for the other 264 days of the year. It’s about as perfect as a day can get. Sunny, with a few small scattered clouds, a slight breeze, late enough in the summer that it’s not too hot and it… Continue reading →

To do list

Things I want to do this summer, that probably will happen: 1. Golf, haven’t yet and really want to. Not a big deal, just need to take time to do it. 2. Explore an island – leaning toward Bois Blanc (spelling may be wrong) 3. Visit Mackinac island 4. Kayak… Continue reading →

1. Is is just me, or does Shaq look like the stunt double for Shrek? I mean, some green paint and little twig ears and you couldn’t tell the difference from anything more than three feet away. I think after the Lakers loose, he’s going to go back to his… Continue reading →

Today

Had a good long talk with the parentals this evening. It’s good to know that I have support if I decide to quit work here entirely and go home to work and be a bum for the summer, or some combination of the two extremes. I’m not quite to the… Continue reading →

Summer

I have my car out for the summer and it has a new battery, so it starts which is always a plus, since push starting a 5 liter engine is a bitch and a half (see previous entry for elaboration on this). I also have my pistol back, which makes… Continue reading →

Lightning

I think I just got about as close as physically possible to lightning. Of course I was indoors and it was outside, but never mind that. I’m just sitting here minding my own business grading UBT’s and there is this marvelous flash and crack – not the normal delayed crack,… Continue reading →

High Stress

ECE 932 – This class is currently causing me severe amounts of stress… I don’t have a group, a project or a good idea and time to research it for my next presentation on Friday. My gun broke, the slide catch no longer works… this just sucks, because now I… Continue reading →

Stereotypes

No stereotype is true all the time, if it were, it would be a fact of life, not a stereotype. Not all stereotypes are bad or wrong either. Lets take an example. I drive to class most days, some days are uneventful, others are littered with people failing to observe… Continue reading →
