Went with BHK and Jimmy to Adam’s final “official” swim meet – he did *great* and will be going to SMAC (southern maryland athletic conference, I think) to continue groovin… not sure if we can attend that.

Pretty slow going today – applied for work at a few places. The biggest excitement was loss of electrical power from 6:30ish to about 7am. Got a lot accomplished, and BHK had some solid work at the local law office today. I spent most of my time at home taking care of the usual tech / job app issues… and playing with the kitties.
Tina came over to have dinner and watch American idol with us – not a bad show, but it’s more of a social event than actually getting into the TV. I have now seen three episodes of a non-COPS reality show.

In Boot Hill there are over 400 graves. It takes
the space of 7 acres. There is an elaborate gate
but the path keeps to no main route for it tangles
like branches of a tree among the gravestones.300 of the dead in Boot Hill died violently
200 by guns, over 50 by knives
some were pushed under trains – a popular
and overlooked form of murder in the west.
Some from brain hemorrhages resulting from bar fights
at least 10 killed in barbed wire.In Boot Hill there are only two graves that belong to women
and they are the only known suicides in that graveyard

What about the munchies?
LONDON (Reuters) — Britain’s GW Pharmaceuticals Plc said Tuesday it plans to start human trials of an experimental treatment for obesity derived from cannabis.
It took the better part of the day, but the commode is finished. Before starting, we had a big pancake breakfast, courtesy of BHK – Chris and BHK went shopping while Larry & I worked on the plumbing… timing was good… we finished about 15 minutes before they called to let us know that they were heading back, and we ended the day with Chinese food, and watching Men In Black.
Got a nice call from Danny, too – his wife is in Bangladesh, reviewing a clothing place’s quality control. I wonder what the quality of life is of the workers there.
Birthday is on Friday – Still not sure what, if anything will be happening for it. I suspect a quiet get-together with some family & friends… I’d like to see as much of the local gang make it if they can, but Friday night has got to be a tricky one, especially if it’s short notice. Given the current financial limits, I suspect the Wii will be a rain check item.

Started installation of a new commode (the old wax seal was going and was beginning to leak), and got sort of side barred into a trip to the Marine Museum on Solomon’s Island. It was a fun trip with the in-laws and BHK to points exceedingly south. After the museum, we waited a long while to eat at Outback, but the food was tasty and plentiful. (I think it made Chris more angry than anyone else) I think I’ve gone out to eat more in the last three months of marriage than I have in the last twelve of bachelorhood! I’m trying to eat a bit better, though, and keep it at least moderately healthy. The waistline is doing a bit of a retreat, which is good.. I think that’s primarily due to all the running around town and moving that’s been done.
Piccies –
Otters, Mega-sharks, Skates, Rays, a screw pile lighthouse, Fresnel lenses and sailing ships… much fun!

Brother and Father in law jamming a bit last night before dinner. Adam was about ready to fall asleep, I think. Another swim meet tonight, if all goes as planned. BHK and I are going to take Tina with us this time! That means a bit of shopping and dinner tonight too, I expect.
Things have been quite great lately… I think that once I get a good solid gig, I’ll have nothing to complain about at all.
Side note – I’ve agreed to be on the City’s Emergency Preparedness Committee – maybe I can help out CodeRED a bit, and help to insure my region is more prepared in the event of rough tidings… not to mention, possibly network into a gig.
some pics –
Happy B’Day, missv!
BEIJING (Reuters) – Chinese police have arrested three men for killing two young women to sell their corpses as “ghost brides” for dead single men, a Chinese newspaper reported, warning the dark custom might have claimed many other victims.

Some swim meet pics of my Brother-in-law – Adam, 17, Swim Team Cap’n.
Quite a little stud muffin – he’s very popular with the ladies, especially while being all sporty. He’s really a great guy, and is very talented across the board – Physics, guitar, athletics. If he wants, he could go anywhere or do anything he might choose. He suffers a little bit from teenager-itis, but he’s generally a gentleman and all-around good guy. I’m glad to have him in my family.
DELRAY BEACH, Fla. – A partially mummified baby was found wrapped in newspaper in a warehouse self-storage unit and is believed to have been born sometime in the 1950s, authorities said. Continue reading 8720 –
DSL issues with verizon continue.. more like customer service issues. They’ve just barely edged ahead of Comcast in the piss-poor service department, playing telephone tree and random disconnect for over 5 days worth of calls.
Flurry or Heavier Squall tomorrow! Snow snow snow, baby! As long as it doesn’t hurt anyone, I’m all for more of the magic white highlighter coloring everything. (plus, being snowed in with the Mrs. is a dandy prospect. We’ve got doughnuts.

Tomorrow is Adam’s swim meet – should be interesting… Adam competing vs Larry’s School.
Dreamt last night about BHK and me being “gun runners” to south of the border… we were storing ensure and other high-vitamin products in the stock… the guns themselves didn’t work, but were easier to bribe past the border patrols rather than food for the hungry. at one point, I though t of making the guns themselves out of chocolate or some sort of dark-colored food, but that was nixed for dream-reasons I don’t recall. I remember clubbing one of the patrolmen with the butt of one of the mock-rifles and having a pinkish milkshake type substance come out… hopefully it was full of strawberry flavored protein shake.
