Weekend Musings and NutriSystem Update

Wow! What a busy weekend. It was even a three day weekend for me as it was my Friday off week. Some of the activities though were self-inflicted. I put myself in a hole sleepwise early as I stayed up until 3:30 AM on Thursday night playing America’ Army. That game can be quite addictive […]

NFL Gridiron Trivia Boardgame

For Sean’s birthday, we got him a bunch of boardgames. He loves to play them as does the whole family. One of the games that we had purchased, but it hadnt released yet, was NFL Gridiron Trivia (cost $30). The game finally released last week and arrived at our house. We sat down to play […]

Treadmill Update

A quick update on the treadmill… If yall followed the comments on the original post, my friend Paul suggested checking a fuse. I was skeptical, but checked the fuse I could see and it was working, as were the electronics. Suzanne, got out there this morning and tore apart the machine to get at another […]

Coincidence? I Think Not…

Okay, now this is probably old and many may have seen it, but I hadnt and it got a very nice laugh out of me. It’s also political in nature, which I usually avoid blogging about. Anyways, here ya go… Many people will recall that on July 8, 1947, witnesses claim that an unidentified flying […]

That brings my total loss for the program up to 18 pounds. Thus far, the NutriSystem diet continues to work […]

A Football Loss and Some Pictures

Sean’s football team had another game this weekend. They again went down to defeat by a score of 20-6. That makes them 0 – 2 on the year. I think its going to be a very long, winless year like last year. Sean gets a bit frustrated about his football team always losing, but I […]

America’s Army 2.7 Released

America’s Army has finally released the long awaited version 2.7. Unfortunately, the new version is not available in a patch and the whole game must be downloaded again. That means, a whopping download of 2.5GB. In today’s era of broadband, that is not too bad for most – maybe a few hours. Since I happen […]

Funny Image

I know this image will make two days of funny pictures in a row, but this one was really good and had me laughing and saying “how true”. This image is from a ceiling painting in a designated smoking area of a building. It’s very appropriate.
