The Picutre of Everything

Tuesday, May 31st, 2005

This you just must see. I would actually like a really large poster version of this on my wall.

Conversational

Tuesday, May 31st, 2005

Here’s an odd sort-of conversation I had with Sean this morning. I don’t suppose it’s that odd, but it does exemplify our relationship in an odd way.

Olaf says:

Why is it that www.microsoft.com/iis still goes to the product page for Windows 2000? They just announced the Windows 2000 end-of-life forthcoming.

SeanW says:

good question

Olaf says:

I know.

Monday Night and I’m Still Dead

Monday, May 30th, 2005

It’s been an entire weekend plus Memorial Day and I’m still dead-tired. I don’t know what the deal is, but it’s a bum deal. I’ve got to get out of this slump, and coffee isn’t doing it. Hopefully, getting back into my workout/racquetball routine will help.

Memorial Day

Monday, May 30th, 2005

Happy Memorial Day! Later this morning (around 10:00am) we’ll be enjoying the Gainesville parade with the kids at the Quinlan Art Camp. It should be a good time. I don’t think that Balthazar has seen a parade yet. Enjoy your holiday if you get one!

Kingdom of Heaven

Sunday, May 29th, 2005

The Kingdom of Heaven was described as a place where Muslims and Christians lived side-by-side as friends and all were allowed to worship as they wish. This dream was never seen, though the closest ever realized was a time prior to the Crusades when the Jewish and Muslim worshiped together in Jerusalem. The [...]

Lazy Saturdays

Saturday, May 28th, 2005

Today I’m completely exhausted. The whole family slept until nearly 10:00am, which is unheard of for at least Balthazar and I. We all had a bit of a rough night due to Balthazar’s sleepless behavior. I think it’s related to the Augmentin he’s taking for the ear ache, but it could also [...]

Coming Home

Wednesday, May 25th, 2005

My Internet access has been limited to my grandmother’s dial-up AOL account since I arrived in Pensacola Beach this past Saturday. I did make it out to a semi-local Taco Bell once for some high-speed wireless access. That was a good refresher, but my time was very limited. So limited, in fact, [...]

Don’t Drink the Water

Tuesday, May 24th, 2005

Well, we leave tomorrow and Balthazar finally broke through his shell yesterday evening. We ate dinner yesterday at Hemmingway’s, one of the better (and few open) restaurants on the Gulf. He did very well there with all of the family - though Stacey had already left - and even played with one of [...]

Break Camp

Saturday, May 21st, 2005

Balthazar and I headed out this morning at about 6:30am for Pensacola Beach. Against all odds, we’re finally on our way to this “vacation.” As mentioned in a recent post, we’ve had a string of bad luck lately. Yes, I did finally get my car and things seemed as though they might [...]

Lava Orange (Georgia Clay)

Thursday, May 19th, 2005

I finally got my new car after seemingly insurmountable odds against me. We’ve had a string of bad luck lately, but I hope that this and other recent events signify the end of all that. You may recall the details around the purchase of Amy’s car, the Honda Element. I swore I’d [...]
