Tuesday night’s workout was more torture built on the backs of the Saturday workout. It was quite apparent about 3/4 of the way through the first class that my legs were not even remotely ready for that type of punishment again.

Tonight I set out on the seemingly surmountable task of replacing the crappy faucet in the kitchen. Everything was going fine, however it became quickly apparent that the people that owned the house before me enjoyed the strange art of plumbing sculpture.

Dragging itself up the road using its arm alone. But I’m betting it is. I couldn’t see any branding and I’m not up on my product models enough to know. *sigh*

Thanks to the efforts of and her husband, Tasha and I are the proud owners of a new Nintendo Wii. We set it up and got a few hours of play in before our family get-together for Mother’s Day, and let me tell you it is excellent. After we got back from the party we […]

Tonight, Tasha and I attended the fourth birthday party for the daughter of a former contract employee in my section at work. Some astute readers will remember this coworker as the one that introduced me to Indian food last year, an experience that I will treasure with every singed taste bud in my possession. I […]
