Just the news, big deals, not-so-big deals, birthday, anniversaries, announcements, mostly timely stuff. The news that applies to the personal world around me, not what you watch on cable or listen to on the radio.

Nashville achieved!

Posted on December 7, 2012 by Steve

The downside of RSS feeds…you don’t get to see my “flashy” countdowns and progression bards showing how I’m doing on my running, rowing and weight loss. As of today, I have run the equivalent distance between my house and Christina’s … Continue reading →

Posted on December 5, 2012 by Steve

Editor’s Note: This is overdue by a few weeks but he still deserves to be mentioned for his WWII service alone. We haven’t seen him lately yet we want to congratulate Charles on his special day. We’ve been told indirectly … Continue reading →

Pending the results of DriveSavers

Posted on December 1, 2012 by Steve

After much mental anguish and anticipation, I decided to go through with a post to update those who care. Firstly, Jeremy had no luck getting anything to happen. His immediate theory is that the drive’s SMART chip turned everything off … Continue reading →

Hit from behind while waiting at a red light

Posted on December 1, 2012 by Steve

Editor’s Note: Remember this is in the Lost Tales section, it happened during the server’s downtime. I could’ve let the incident go but we have yet to receive a decent follow-up from the other driver’s insurance company. I’m definitely certain … Continue reading →

Happy 14th birthday Nick!

Posted on November 28, 2012 by Steve

Editor’s Note: This did take place on 11/28/12 but I still wanted to plug Nick’s birthday on my site because 14 is a special birthday in my mind. My Chicago-based nephew hit the big 1-4 today! Sure at 13 he’s … Continue reading →

One fifth of the way there!

Posted on November 27, 2012 by Steve

At the current pace we’re going, we’ll own my side of the bed (30%) within eight years. Actually, it’ll be sooner as the interest part of the mortgage declines and over the upcoming months, it should accelerate a bit. Good … Continue reading →

Picayune is pending a data recovery for another week

Posted on November 24, 2012 by Steve

As awful as “Spock’s Brain” is, the image of McCoy getting bombarded with the knowledge is the most appropriate representation of what’s happening with my site right now. The Enterprise had better luck than me since Spock was back to … Continue reading →

Congratulations to Jeremy and Kristin

Posted on November 20, 2012 by Steve

They tied the knot in Hawaii while attending a family reunion. I can never remember which side of Jeremy’s large clan it’s with, the dude has so many siblings and cousins. We knew they were going to make it official … Continue reading →

Digging out, all is still alright

Posted on November 19, 2012 by Steve

Last week was a complete bust in so many ways. Taking Somara to the ER and having her hospitalized for over a day was one thing, then coming down ill on my own. It is rather irritating to get sick … Continue reading →

This is a post to inform those who don’t follow me via FaceBook (I’m not fond of), I also don’t use Twitter that much due to the lack of “followers;” I’m seriously thinking of removing it from my iPhone because it … Continue reading →

Posts will be coming later now that the election is over

Posted on November 7, 2012 by Steve

My anxiety always has risen to painfully crippling levels during election years ever since 2000…thank you Florida for not embarrassing us again. And yeah, my guy won so I’ll be flipping some virtual birds at certain people on FaceBook. Somara’s … Continue reading →

Doubled the distance!

Posted on November 4, 2012 by Steve

Last year, I ran about 250 miles on the treadmill, putting me past Jose and Nancy’s house in the Dallas suburbs. Over the weekend, I have completed over 500 miles on various treadmills this year! This would put me within … Continue reading →

Recuperation mostly done! Catching up news

Posted on November 2, 2012 by Steve

It was a nice but mixed couple nights off. Any plans for Halloween got squashed by Molly’s death (the after effects of this are fading away) and Somara’s sudden surgery which is underway today. Don’t panic, it’s nothing serious. I … Continue reading →
