A big birthday wish to my other fellow Leo and the person responsible for my first victory at roulette (I’m 3-8 in W-L now, but that makes me $875 up versus, at most $80 lost) which was followed by a … Continue reading →

Here’s a bit of trivia, my birthday in UNIX Time is -45001800. I guess they use the negative symbol instead of some acronym on the end such as BC. You know, 40 doesn’t hurt as much as I thought it … Continue reading →

Let’s give her a special cheer. Not only does she share a birthday with Bugs Bunny and my wedding anniversary, Christina has been my friend for 15 years. I’m sure Congress should issue a medal for that since I can … Continue reading →

Everything is set for me. Now Somara needs to get her boss (or bosses) to approve the time for her. We’re finally going to have the chance to stay in our time share which is the most exciting part. Some … Continue reading →

No pictures from the happy parents of Philippe and Sonia yet. Hopefully big sister Julia is excited over having a baby brother to play with…in a couple years. My friends Tammy and Nelson had a son earlier this year with … Continue reading →

D’oh! I can’t remember why I think July 5th is the anniversary of Picayune entering the Blog fray…I mean format. I only recall it was a three-day weekend for me or I had some kind of a additional time off … Continue reading →

Not only can we blame Canada today, see the song from South Park, we can wish my friend Rad a Happy Birthday as he basks in the warmth, or should it be called blistering heat, over in Phoenix. I think … Continue reading →

Last night I was writing the second draft for an upcoming story about 1983 and then I heard the usual feedback-interference noises on my noise-reducing headphones. This is normally AT&T’s wireless network doing something, probably an incoming call. Instead the … Continue reading →

One five-week, secret project I didn’t want to discuss on the site was completed this morning. Well, it wasn’t that much of a secret with some of you, I just didn’t want to jinx it since it had one annoying … Continue reading →

What a wedding it was since the Austin weather wasn’t too hot around sunset. It was June after all, Central Texas becomes really uncomfortable by July. It’s much nicer climate-wise over in the San Jose part of California they’re in … Continue reading →

Yesterday was a long, long day but in a good way. Whenever there’s a concert and I’m volunteering for EA (Ecology Action, not the videogame company Electronic Arts), I usually take in a late dinner at Katz’s, then go to … Continue reading →

Today is my niece’s sixth birthday! This is the one who lives in Chicago with my brother Brian and sister-in-law Linda. All the pictures I’ve seen of her are great and she resembles Brian so much. With this age, Kindergarten … Continue reading →

It has been an ugly week for Picayune and my server. First the power supply dying unexpectedly put it out of commission for over a day. Now its software solution known as Blojsom is constantly crapping out by letting Java … Continue reading →
