I Love 4 Day Weekends

-
It's so nice not being at work today. I'm recharging my batteries and getting some much needed rest. I really haven't had too much to post about, so I'm going to recap my weekend thus far just to keep something out there.

I had such a good time yesterday. Janine and I went to see Superman at the IMAX theater here in town. It was a pretty decent movie. It was nothing spectacular, but none of the Superman movies are ever really that amazing. The effects were amazing! Watching it on that giant screen was quite a strain on the neck, but very much worth it. I told Janine we will never have any kind of TV/screen on our ceiling.

The museam closed pretty much after the movie let out, but we got to explore a few things there. We're going to have to go back sometime. We did get to see the whole sugar exhibit which is pretty scary stuff. Sugar is everywhere!

I then took Janine to dinner at Cracker Barrel. That's the place I took her when we started to go steady. We spent some time there reading up on the paper and chatting. I noticed Kelly's letter to the editor got published, so here's a big I TOLD YOU IT WOULD to my friend. It was good just to spend some quiet time to catch up on things and enjoy a yummy meal. Be careful though, Janine is a killer checkers player. I don't think I've ever had my ass handed to me like she handed it to me. I'll get her back though, and actually I did.

It was her idea then to go play some putt putt. I got even. According to the official scorecard I won by 8 strokes. I am awesome!! Actually, I was very lucky. The line for the go carts was extremely long, so we went to the bumper boats, which was pretty much desserted. That was a lot of fun. We soaked each other with that water gun that's on each of those little tubey boat things.

We had just enough energy to go home and crash. We were up at 7AM so getting home around midnight, we just went into comatose. I'm very proud though because today Janine starts her lab manager job in Ashland. I know she's going to do a good job!

Tuesday night, we're probably going to see the R Braves play and watch the fireworks there after the game. I'm really looking forward to that.

That's enough for now. More to come later.

    Knowing you and your tastes, Kelly I'll say 3 out of 4 stars. I mean come on, there's a man running around in blue tights through most of it!

    I thought it was very good..just not as great as the hype that's around it...which is any movie these days.

For My Friend

I moved to Richmond in September, full of aprehension. Many of you by keeping up with my story know full well the ups and downs that I have faced. I was very fortunate to land a great job in October. After a lot of rejection, and fear for losing everything I started my new job with that same fear I had when I moved to this city. I was crammed in an office with Kelly Stern. He is such a kind, patient, gentle soul. He showed me around and I got comfortable working there really fast. I smile when I remember one of my coworkers talking about us giggling in there all day. I had fun those days. It did not take me long to find out that Kelly was gay. He mentioned living with Jeff, and I put two and two together fast. Kelly listened to my troubles, and gave me sound, firm advice. He has been so helpful to me also by taking me home from work almost every day and taking me by the grocery store to get supplies. I would not still be here if it was not for his help. I cannot think of a way to

The Drowning Death Spiral of Modern Political Debates

There's nothing like a tragic loss of life for people to tout their political beliefs. And it's so much easier in this social media age. As I've noted many times before though, there's a lot less discourse now and a lot more shouting and yelling. The weekend tragedy in Orlando is a sad and depressing example of this showboating. In the midst of evil and intolerance, sides have geared up to discuss the merits of gun control again. Yet I don't really hear a coherent debate. What I hear are two sides screaming about two narratives that don't mesh together at all. Picture two children arguing. One wants a video game and the other one wants to eat. The focus is in two different arenas, food and fun. On one side of the gun debate are people who are strong advocates of constitutional jurisprudence. Passing increased measures to limit a law abiding citizen access to weapons, they believe, will not solve the problem of evil that exists when a bad person obtains o

My Wiiview

You all may be familiar with my Wii saga. Janine told me on my birthday in March that we were going to purchase the console which made me very happy. I figured both of us would be able to enjoy the Wii so it was a better value. Being at least two hundred dollars cheaper than the other new consoles help make that an easy decision too. Little did we know that we were in the midst of trying to find one the most sought after pieces of hardware since Tickle Me Elmo. I remember going to at least 5 stores in March only to find laughter when asked if they had any of these Wiis in stock. The manager of one store even told me that if I get in early enough, there may be two consoles, but I better bring a bat because the soccer moms trying to find them as well may have rabies. So Janine and I pretty much gave up on finding the new Nintendo console until last week when I was shopping for her iPod Nano. Sitting there in the back of the store were three Wiis. So now I have my toy hooked up and after
