Changes Coming… soon

Actually, the mark of 100% success of the upcoming changes is that no one will notice. I’m in the process of migrating my 6 or so different domains onto a new hosting service, hostmonster.com.

Darts, version 2

by

After few well-placed (or poorly-placed) darts in the door, it became necessary to rethink my new darts setup. A backboard was certainly in order – which forced me to move the board a little closer to the wall, and some dedicated lighting was necessary.

So we’re going through the school lunch menu for October and notice that October 1 is designated “National Vegetarian Day” and, more importantly, none of the choices for lunch contain meat. Coincidence? I think not. No other day in the month contains completely meatless choices. Now, that’s all fine and dandy, I suppose, but where’s … Read more
