Just regular folks.

Today is dedicated to cleaning up from our illness. The house looks as if an elephant has come in and settled down and invited all his zoo friends over for a playdate. I need to plan for next week’s meals. Maybe a mexican theme for one night.

Jeremy and I are learning, very slowly about all the resources on the Web for the Ipod. Learning about audio blogs and other things you can download. These things are happening so quickly and are so exciting and I know I’m not even aware of a lot of these things. Things like TIVO, video games, etc..

Stayed home tonight. Nothing really happening on the social agenda. It’s nice to have a break from it all, tho I’m feeling a bit lonely tonight. I ended up watching Zoolander and The Royal Tenenbaums. Both are Ben Stiller and Owen Wilson movies. The last one is a bit ironic mentioning it in the blog. Not sure what I’m going to do for the rest of the night. Sleep sounds good tho.

Today Vince wanted to stay at day care and not come home. Not even after pizza. He crawled into a classmate’s sleeping bag for a nap and didn’t want to come out.

Vince got up this morning in a foul mood. Maybe it has something to do with the fact that he went to bed at 11 last night! Jeremy had an interview to host yesterday and one to host today today, so it’s really important that he be at work promptly. I am still in my pajamas.

Hmm, the computer is sooo clean and unblemished. I am happy about that, no more spyware. Now if I can stop those buggers from reinfecting the computer.

Last night I made, chicken drumsticks with a walnut/roasted pepper sauce from Gourmet magazine. Yummy!

Too bad, no comment on my “lyric”, not even from Mom. I was very moved by the sound that morning and wished being asked to dance, at least on the blog, before my time is up and disappear.

Keep smiling 🙂 and love.

Well, Mom is pretty sick and I am thinking not going to Washougal today. But, it really depends on Mom. She already made appointment with some handy man to put a big window for the river view. See how is going.? Hope she is better. But, right now, I still can hear her cough. Sounds not too good.

Yesterday, while waiting to catch the plane to Richland, I met a lady (a grandmom) she was heading to Bedford, Oregon from Minneapolis to see her grandkids. I told her that you are going to retire on the Washington side of the Columbia river near Portland. She kind of figured out right away our intention to have the best of the both worlds – no income and sale taxes. She kind of had that funny look on her face. Don’t know. A lot of people just as practical as we are.

MiniSystems Inc. was on the front page of this journal. The title is “Husband and wife work to promote home-based engineering business” and with our color picture on it. It was a pretty nice article about our success and in-ability (nicer term for failure) to expand our business. It was what it was.

During the last leg of my flight from Seattle to Richland today, a passenger recognized me and showed it to me before Mom did.

I will make copy and posted sometime. Remember, I am a low tech guy and it may take a while.

The other day, someone in South Carolina called about an opportunity there. Right now, I am really a Gypsie and like a Pr—, work for money whereever I find them. Well, that is the way it is.

More questions? Please let us know.

Incidentally, I mentioned to Ronnie that you might want to get an Apple. He’s and employee and can give you one of his 15% off discounts for pretty much anything except for the new stuff – re. the Mac Mini. I’d recommend an iBook for your purposes. You should also check out their refurbished deals online. Looks like there are some really good buys out there…

With some pretty fast people. Me, being a slow person, dragged behind. I was out of shape, out of breath, and felt like throwing up. I’m recovered, but still gots the phelgm stuck in my lungs and throat.

I had lunch with Joy and Sunny at Applewood’s Pizza in Menlo Park. Yum. Pizza. Althoough I didn’t have Vince’s favorite pepperoni, it was still a good pizza. I haven’t eaten out in awhile. Joy and Sunny are labmates and it’s funny how much they go off about their kooky advisor. He’s random, has a low attention span, and highly confrontational. He rags on everyone’s presentations and provides very little help to his grad students, yet apparently he loves helping out other students and projects a good first impression. Anyways, sounds like a circus in there. I suppose every lab’s has it’s quirks tho. Just glad I’m not a part of that.
