As a regular reader of Vox Popoli, I’ve found the recent posts/discussions about women’s suffrage very interesting. I wouldn’t shed a tear if we rolled back quite a few of our voting laws. He makes a good case that women’s…
A Time to Laugh, a Time to Cry
Saturday was a big day. Lager Lover got married. He and his wife had a great wedding, free from the rain we all feared could make things “interesting”, as it was an outdoor wedding. They are off to their honeymoon,…
Left Behind
Everyone’s off to relax over their three-day weekend. The blogs are silent, the office is quiet, and there isn’t much to do. I have 45 minutes left before my weekend starts, and I’m feeling left behind. I hope everyone enjoys…
Today’s “Ray of Hope”
Ok, I stole the title to this post from Joe Soucheray, of Garage Logic, a local radio talk show. My girlfriend, an employee benefits attorney, sent me the following regarding her conversation with someone in government. I found it encouraging,…
Back, but Swamped
I generally have little that needs to get done, both at work, and at home. However, now that I’m back from my little road trip to San Antonio, I have found myself needing to get a lot done both at…
The Blogger is Out!
Come back soon! I’ll be out of town for a few days. I’m heading down to San Antonio, leaving tonight. I should be back by Monday, hopefully posting again by Tuesday.
Not Green!
I found this via The Ruminator, who stole it from Ian What Color is Your Brain? brought to you by Quizilla
Back in the Saddle
I’m getting recovered from oral surgery. I wish I had a dime for every time someone said “don’t get dry socket”. As far as I can tell, I haven’t yet, and hopefully won’t. I had all four of my wisdom…
Finally!!!!
I’ll be out of commission tomorrow. I’m finally, after 10 years of headaches and pain that comes and goes, getting all four of my wisdom teeth removed. I very much look forward to it, knowing that a day or so…
A Long Time Coming
After close to a year (I don’t know exactly how long), I’ve finally finished some work I volunteered to do. I discovered a website that I think is really cool, Firefighters For Christ, where there are hundreds of audio commentaries…
I’m Told It’s Not So Bad
This morning I had one of those moments when I really wanted to call into the local morning talk radio show. I didn’t catch the entire topic, but in the car on the way to work, they were talking about…
The Perfect Day for Some Flying
I got my trip in yesterday. A co-worker and I flew to Indiana to measure a building we are going to be working on. It was a total blast. We did about 4 hours of work, and spent about 5…
A Little Advice
If you call your “significant other” at work, even if that person has a personal phone line, don’t assume that the person who picks up the phone is him/her. Make sure that you are certain that you’re actually talking to…
Cancelled
No trip today. There is icing conditions all the way between here and Indiana. It’s possible we can go tomorrow, but more likely it will be Tuesday. Someone should hunt down Old Man Winter and kick his @$$.
Spring Must Be Here
I woke up at 3:00 this morning and haven’t been able to get back to sleep. I think I’m more excited that I thought I’d be about this trip to Indiana, which I leave for in an hour. I think…
