If I didn’t sweat the small stuff, we’d be much worse off financially. Every month there’s an issue with some account, whether it be an unauthorized charge or an errant late fee or interest charge. Unfortunately, only American Express has been totally forthright and honest, while the rest of the banks (including Citibank, Discover, Capitol [...]
Today is Election Day. My status is as a permanent absentee voter, so I avoid all the problems with the voting machines, waiting in long lines, etc.
For the record (since the information is public anyway), I voted for John Kerry, Barbara Boxer, Zoe Lofgren, and Joe Simitian — surprisingly straight Democratic. I have never based [...]
OK, it’s finally up.
The first version of our genealogy website is published, technically completing yet another goal of mine this year — what a busy bee I’ve been!
The last time I looked at my genealogy software was almost two and a half years ago. This past week, I’ve revamped all the source data, cleaned up [...]
It took a couple weeks of planning, but my effort for this year’s pumpkin carving is finally over!
OK, two weeks sounds like a long time, so I should clarify that I thought of and sketched out the idea one afternoon two weeks ago. Today was carving day; just in time for Survivor night and late [...]
On the last day of our Maui trip, we went on a snorkeling excursion that we arranged only a day ahead of time. There were basically two choices of trips to take. Both went to Molokini, and the only decision was whether to then head to Lanai or to “Turtle Town”. Since one of my [...]
I’m actually a bit nervous about flying out to Maui tonight. Not about the flight itself or the maximum distance of 1,000 miles from any land. It’s the fact that I’ve been hired by a friend to shoot her wedding, and it’s been a loooong time since I’ve done any wedding work, let alone any [...]
As of this Sunday, RR… will have been up and around for two and a half years, a quarter of my goal achieved to keep some form of journal for ten years. This just happens to be an on-line version that everyone with a browser has access to. A lot has transpired since its inception, [...]
But, as Douglas Adams so eloquently put in his Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy series, what precisely is the question?
Here are some possibilities (not in the form of a question):
according to a Princeton University website, the definition of 42 is “being two more than forty” — I kid you not.
wikipedia describes 42 as “the natural [...]
Last night was Back to School Night at Sterling’s school. Everything went as it should, until near the tailend of the night when the teacher asked to speak to Sterling’s parents.
Uh, oh!
Considering all the possibilities that had already been floating around my mind AND knowing what a quiet and shy little boy Sterling is (NOT!), [...]
Got an email today from Jamaica with the subject line: “Discover and Experience Playmates In Your Area” No, thank you! Had enough experience with Playmates to last a lifetime.
Without naming specific individuals or companies, I am surprised that EVERY client I have had during the past two years who has been billed for at least [...]
