Family Fun

The Gallatin bowling alley has $1 games every Thursday. So, stuffed with turkey, ham, stuffing, mac n cheese, potatoes, beans, apples, pies, cakes, puddings... oh the humanity... I went bowling with three of my cousins (Duane, Andy, and Tim). Some things were learned:

• Jason can take out the 9 pin or 9/10 combo blindfolded, one hand behind my back, in the dark.
• Men (read: Jason and Andy) cannot bowl in socked feet. I hurt my butt and my ego.
• Don't bowl with a 10 year old in the lane next to you. They will show you up (see: hurt ego).
• Time spent with family is priceless.

Thanks, guy, had a blast!

Happy Thanksgiving

Happy Thanksgiving, everyone. I'm truly thankful for my wonderful wife, all my family and friends, being cured for over two and half years (and still going!), for having a stable job that provides for my family, having a roof over our head, and being able to help others however we can. What are you thankful for?

Movie Review: "A Good Year"

Recently Stephanie and I went to see Russell Crowe's "A Good Year". To be honest, I figured I was walking into a "chick flick" but I was pleasantly surprised. Crowe's character is a stock market tycoon who is very, very good at his job and has been quite successful. He learns of the death of his uncle in France's wine country to which he is the rightful heir -- or is he? While staying in France he learns there is much more to life that he is missing by doing nothing but working. Most of us have to work to make a living -- we just have to find the right balance between work and life.

Beautiful day

Though the rain is here now, this morning was truly beautiful. (It's a crappy camera on the phone, so use your imagination.)

Messy. For a limited time only.

Sure they are fattening the world one fry at a time. Sure they burn stupid people with hot coffee. But, they did bring it back -- long live McRib!

What happens at 9:25?

I work as an IT professional and deadlines are just a part of that life. I get that. But what's the deal with this?
