Rigged my speaker system to switch from spooky music to Rick Astley when people ring the doorbell. Don’t think anyone will get it though.
Boy the standards at the cafe sure have gone downhill. Look at that lettuce, not at all appetizing. http://snipurl.com/4uhcn
Thank you kind stranger for leaving dollar off coupons for cat food. How did you know we were running low on them? http://snipurl.com/4tp5i
Now that Maxine is walking, she spends most of the day walking things from one room to another. Wish she’d leave the remote though, lost it.
Really not loving this Sam Adams Cherry Wheat. Maybe it’s the years of cherry flavored medicine that turns me off.
Found an “Elmo Live” at Target. Will prolly sell out this xmas. Max will be so happy, hope she doesn’t read this. http://snipurl.com/4p8v9

Just finished making a spiderweb out of string for Halloween. Came out better than I thought. The spider we bought. http://snipurl.com/4n7ro
Frosty lawn and it’s only October. Something tells me winter in NC will be very different than my last 32 in CA. http://snipurl.com/4lhcg
They’re selling a $300 Eee pc at target. Wonder how many they sell, and how many get returned for not running windows.
Remember when grocery store receipts just told you what you got? This kroger one included a credit card app. Wtf?! http://snipurl.com/4iet6
Cleaning the porch of spiderwebs so we can put up the fake apiderwebs for Halloween. Seems a bit counterproductive yeah?
Taking a walk around the neighborhood with maxine. Beautiful day, but the wind is cold. Hoodie weather. http://snipurl.com/4i0sw
Just passed a guy holding a “going out of business” sign for linens and things. Just this store or is company going out of business? Anyone?
Maxine gets so excited when Elmo’s World starts on Sesame Street. She hears the theme song and it’s clapping/smiles. What have we done?
Amanda just got out of her wrist surgery. No sweat, in and out in 3 hours flat. Perfect timimg to play withher new MacBook all weekend.
After 3 days of “Preparing…” and numerous rubber chickens, I’ve decided to delete my Time Machine sparseimage and start over. Damn it all.
Btw: Obama tent was there with banners and posters and stuff. There was a single McCain lawn sign in the back. http://snipurl.com/4f8fc
Just finished voting. In and out in 5 minutes. Never been easier, early voting is a great idea.
Ordered a new MacBook to replace the wife’s 1st gen black one. Will let you know what she thinks, or what I think if she lets me try it out.
Have an idea for a million dollar iPhone app with web community. We’ll see if I ever do it.
Crazy fire accident on 40 near 54/55 towards Raleigh. Traffic stopped. http://snipurl.com/49wct
Just finished a successful trip to the pumpkin patch.
I wonder who their target market is with this thing. People with hairy backs, or people with short arms? http://snipurl.com/4826c
Just set up a Norah Jones station on Pandora. Started with Norah, Mayer, Corinne and now Jack. Add coffee, good way to start the morning.
… and now I have a NC drivers license. Missed one question, if you refuse a pee test, you get a year suspension, not 6 months. I think?
Just finished studying for my NC drivers license test at Open Eye Cafe. Cool place, not sure about the music though. Very pre-magic show-ish
This commute is fun. :) http://snipurl.com/448d3
Back in town after a week in San Jose. Great to be home, I missed my girls. http://snipurl.com/4283i
Last meal in San Jose, El Burro in Campbell. Damn I’m gonna miss this.
