House Update

Building a house is not as much fun as some people think. It's a lot of decisions. The tile is the worst, it's permanent. The paint is less tramatic, but still causes me no end of grief. We're going with more gray than blue this time, but I guess there's some purple now.

Oy, it's going to be a long winter.

Farmer in the Dell

I love the indoor water parks of the Wisconsin Dells. It's really depressing that Lake Delton hasn't come back. I talked with a gal at the local grocery store and she thought maybe next summer. They're thinking it will 3-4 weeks for it to fill up. Not sure how they'll do it. I'll have to come back next year and get the scoop.

This morning we found a diner worthy of Guy's Diners, Drive-ins, and Dives - it was Denny's Diner (not part of the "Denny's" chain). They make their own breads, biscuits, sausage gravy, and hash. We ate everything we ordered - which was a lot. We'll have to do a lot of swimming today to work that breakfast off. I need to get an email off to Guy.

Great Weekend

Saturday - Kettled Chicken
My favorite way to spend a day: boiling chicken in lard over an open fire, drinking beer, and hanging out with family and friends. I made hot sauce for the wings and a pinnaple salsa for the chips....both were a tad on the "hot" side (oh darn). What a beautiful day it was.

Sunday Sports
Today was my son's soccer game. He's great, scoring the most points of either team. Another gorgeous day, cool and sunny.

Day Two

Everyday I come into my blogspot, I click on the "unlock by blog" request link. Three times it has let me complete the form to request an unlock (the others times it always said that they had received the request on some date). The last time I did the unlock link it said someone would review it within two business days. Today is the second or third day, depending on how you count days.....here's hoping that I finally get unlocked.......

Monday Night Football

My Monday's are my own again. And what did I do with it tonight? Worked on work stuff, not my fun stuff. Maybe next week....

The Miracle of Sleep

Every year without fail I get bronchitis. At least once, often twice - Fall and Spring. This year it's looking like I've dodged the bullet. I did two things differently when I starting getting sick: I actually took some time off from work to sleep and I went to the Chiropractor. Not sure which one did it, but I think I'll be trying them both again next time.

Why?

Some people see things that are and ask, Why? Some people dream of things that never were and ask, Why not? Some people have to go to work and don't have time for all that.

Then there's the "Five Whys". Where if you ask Why repeatedly, by the fifth time you should be close to the real reason.

Why am I writing this? Because.

Note to Self

Do not try to be funny and show your software development background by starting a new blog with "Hello, World". Apparently that gets you flagged as a spambot site. :-(
