Tasha and I went out to Buffalo Wild Wings for lunch today, deciding it was far too much effort to cook lunch for ourselves.  We both suffered from extreme laziness this morning.  However, the three cheeseburger slammers that I had for lunch energized me so I came home and mowed the back yard, scooped dog […]

Today I slept in, got chiropracted, ate at Qdoba, did some research for a prop replica contest I’m going to enter, and then had D&D with my friends! I had particular success at D&D tonight, really taxing our adventuring party reducing one of our characters below 0 hit points.  This made her very unhappy, as […]

Tonight’s karate started out with 5 Heian Nidans.  After that, we did a combination from free sparring stance.  Jab with the front hand, rear leg front kick at the same time, then a reverse punch when landing.  Then we slid the front leg back with another jab, a front kick with the opposite leg and […]

Tasha and I began our rededication to fitness this week.  On Monday and Thursday, we visited the gym.  I was sore most of the day Tuesday, but it began to abate yesterday.  I ran a mile on Monday in 9:56.  Today, I ran it in 9:49.  The best part was my first four laps (out […]

It was a great day at work today.  I had a lot to do at the front half of the day, we had some design meetings and then the rest of my afternoon opened up and I actually got some work done.  This time, I got to create a REST web service from the ground […]

It was a year ago today that my grandpa died, and I thought it fitting to take a few minutes out today to remember him. I’m having a very hard time coming up with the right things to say here, so I’ll refer you all back to the post I made a few weeks after […]

With scarce little to do this weekend, I found myself looking for another project to start. As I mentioned yesterday, I found a few of my replica movie props and put them on display. This quickly led me back to the Replica Prop Forum that I used to frequent (I’ve been a member since 1999!) […]

Today was a fairly dreary day in CO, providing some much needed rain.  Tasha and I had brunch at Denny’s, followed by some shopping (with store credit, woot!) at Black & Read.  I got some D&D miniatures and Hotel California on 180 gram LP, so I’m pretty happy. The rest of the afternoon was taken […]

We’re going to Paul McCartney’s concert in Denver on July 15!!  I’m really excited to get to see him live, this is going to be one of those Bucket List things to cross off for me. In other news, it’s Jam Night so we’re heading out to Walton Manor to rock out.  I get to […]
