Too funny!! I had to share this one!!

It’s all about the bike

……..Or “why I ride”.
[My previous post ended up kind of lengthy so this is kind of part 2.]   
 
     I learned to ride my first bike in the late 70’s.  I still remember it.  It was bright orange with a red seat that had a tribal looking Phoenix on it.  Single speed with the brakes [...]

The hardest part…is to start…

     Anyone who has taken the plunge into an exercise program knows that the hardest part is starting it.  Especially when you haven’t done it in a long time. 
 
    You find all the excuses – Not enough time, it costs too much, my back is sore, I’m too tired, I have too many other [...]

Black Friday

…Is here.  I plan to avoid leaving the house if at all possible.  My wife & her mom will do their traditional get up before sunlight and trek into the retail jungle on safari hunting the ever elusive killer deal.  THis year fundage is tight so our shopping list can pe written on one of [...]

Progress check – Java 11-23-08

Rather than eat up a great deal of blog space I set up a seperate page for this little project.

Wrapping it up

“ssssssssssssssssmack!”  What was that??    That sound… that was me bending over my knee & spanking yet another math test.  16 equations involving parabolas, circles, and their inverse functions done in 17-18 minutes flat.

Depending on my grade outcome I may look into becoming a math tutor.
Would like [...]

A little Reflection

I registered for Spring ‘09 semester today.
I’m only taking 3 classes but they are fairly brutal.  The math class alone is 5 credit hours which means a minimum of 15 hours of study time a week.  The good news is I’m getting past the young freshmen filled 101 classes where the instructors spend a ridiculous [...]

Time for a quick glass of Egg Blog

I’ve been reading more blogs than writing this past week.  Much to blab about but limited on time.  It’s been kind of nutty in our household….to quote “Ray Barone” on parenting “It’s like living in a frat house.  Nobody sleeps, everything is broken and there is a lot of throwing up.”  Amen!
Good news is that this [...]

President Obama!!!

Sitting here with my laptop watching history in the making.   MLK is probably sporting a big old grin.  I was stunned when after a commercial NBC said “There will be young children in the white house”.  Feeling a renewed sense of pride with my country.  I was also impressed with McCain’s concession speech.  Looking forward [...]
