We're hitting the water around 6PM, in Mukilteo next to the ferry, if you want to join in! ;)

No diving for me, but Mr. DA caught enough for both of us. Is it wrong, or extremely appropriate, to watch Deadliest Catch while eating Dungeness crab?

Have some poutine and Labatt's for me! ;)

Oh, and maybe a Tim Horton's donut.

Is it worth the upgrade from Vista? Oh sweet jesus, yes. It's faster, more stable (even in beta, it was more stable), and yes, has some nice, new features. The best thing for laptops is better power management - my Lenovo tablet went from about 2.5 hours of life, to nearly 4 hours. Since somebody e...

I can definitely tell that it's a holiday week here; traffic's much lighter, and peak in the afternoon has moved from 5:30-6:30 back to 4:00-5:00. Slackers. ;)

I say that, even though I was home by 5 today too.

So that's where he's been. Shamm invited me to play a game, made the first play, I responded and played; haven't heard anything since.

I'm trying not to take it personally. Unless I find out he's been playing Scrabble with Windsor's Daughter, that is...

I'm folding laundry, watching "Out of Africa." I wish it were in HD, as the cinematography is beautiful.

We're back from the Ocean City NJ boardwalk. Merry-go-round, monorail, cheesesteaks, funnel cake, frozen custard. I'm ready for bed but the babe is still up.

I love funnel cakes, please have one for me.

Cheesesteak & funnel cake for me, please.

* Inter-colonial trading - is that exclusive to the american colonies, or other british colonies such as in the west indies and/or Africa? * Did Charleston traders have any favored trading partners?

Most of my clost friends during and after college, even now, 12 years after graduation, were my freshman year hallmates. Be open to meeting new people, all sorts, across all experiences - you never know who will become part of your inner circle. That also means, in order to meet those new people, yo...

I improved my scores almost 100 ppg just by reading the book, "Word Freak" by Stefan Fatsis. I recommend it to any fan of the game.

And Brazil advances - this running commentary is pretty entertaining: http://soccernet.espn.go.com/commentary?id=266848&cc=5901&league=FIFA.CONFEDERATIONS - Particularly entertaining are the few comments about Alves, who came in in the 81st minute, and scored the goal in the 87th. Good substitution.

Personally, I love that the phrase, "hiking the appalachian trail" now takes on such a new and different meaning.

"Hey, what happened with that chick you were scamming on at the bar?"

"Oh, we went and 'hiked the appalachian trail' last night."

Repub?? How could that be - the fair & balanced Fox News has Sanford as a Dem! :o :o

I pretty much find most stanzas of the Desiderata to be quotable - http://www.fleurdelis.com/desiderata.htm but the one I keep in mind most is: Beyond a wholesome discipline, be gentle with yourself. You are a child of the universe no less than the trees and the stars; you have a right to be here. A...

And another teacher phrase that always drove me nuts was my Algebra teacher's telling us, "Same difference." How can something that's different be the same? Or how can something that is the same be different? The terms, by their very definitions, contradicted each other. I remember working so hard ...

CBB, you have a beautiful eye for composition. Do you generally capture this in the picture, or is there some post-processing/trimming on these?
