Thursday, August 31st, 2006

Don’t forget to tune in or set your DVR for tonight’s finale of Who Want’s To Be A Superhero?  Personally, with Major Victory getting the shaft last week, I am not as excited as I expected I would be.  Now we are left with Fat Momma and Feedback to duke it out.

Ernesto

Sunday, August 27th, 2006

Crap!  I hope the hurricane shield holds up, but just in case, I’m gonna pick up some new tapcons today.  I figure that I’ll have to start boarding up and putting stuff away on Tuesday after work.  The trick will be making room in the garage for at least one of the cars with all […]

Went to see my general practitioner today for my annual physical. My annual physical is where this blog started just one short year ago. That is where I first started to get an inkling that I might have a problem. From this single visit to my doctor my life changed and I started down the […]
