horaay for guest posting

I can’t believe that today is the last Friday of June. Where DOES the time go? It certainly FEELS like summer here in sunny Florida. Highs in the 90′s during the day, with lows in the 70′s at night. I like to say that when it gets like this – you go from house to [...]

A fond farewell?

Well, tonight was the end of Studio 60. I’ve been a fan of the show since it aired last fall and its really only gotten better. Too bad the time slot it was in and the fact that they took it off air for two months crippled it beyond repair. The show, by “West Wing” [...]

The wife and I are heading out to New Mexico for a weekend in August for the Philmont Rangers 50th Anniversary Reunion. When I worked there in ’97 it was the 40th anniversary, so this one is kind of cool as it will be ten years since I worked there and the farthest west Amy [...]

Ok, so I’ve finally decided that I am going to be updating this damned thing more often. I promise to try to update at least twice a week…. whether or not I have anything important to say. That being said… In my last post I mentioned that Amy and I had been on a cruise…. [...]

Linux in unusual Places…

Amy and I went on a cruise last week and I have to say, it was a great way to travel, but thats not what I’m writing about today… While in Coco Beach, Fl. we stayed at a Marriott Courtyard hotel and I was impressed with the “business center” at the hotel for one reason. [...]
