Catchup time. I could spend the next several hours just typing my thoughts.

Cathy and I did some banking (that felt good!) It’s not nearly enough and there is no more in sight at the moment but it felt good to make a deposit and know that some bills will be paid.

Next I pick Tommy up from school and he stank. He obviously didn’t wear deoderant today and had the smell teenager in full effect. So on the way to Star I stopped to get Tommy a drink and deoderant which was a good choice. He rode at Star but was rude, argumentative, and at one point dangerous. They could have kicked him out on the spot but was given a firm warning. I want him to get his act together. He could go very far with Star and I think he enjoys it. On the ride to Star Tommy informed me of more abuse in gym class; granted, he may have asked for it but I put a call into the school to see what will happen.

We went from Star to IHOP and had breakfast for dinner. I enjoy taking my family out to eat. And they were relatively well behaved.

Returned home and played on the computer but now must pass out.

First off, I want to say that I’m listing this for 2 reasons. 1) the video foot is astounding and 2) MSNBC’s user interface is a very smart way to force viewing of commercials in order to see the video.

Drunken redneck crashes truck into gas pump and caues explosion. Luckily, it was caught on security cameras (with video) (thanks Fark for the headline)

A surveillance videotape shows a truck slamming into a gas pump outside a convenience store. The driver then drove away as the pump exploded.

Currently weighing heavy on mind: desire to continue working on the house wiring (network and electrical) and desire to buy/built/network several more computers (kids, house ai, ms biz server 2003, new workstation for wife, new workstation for me, cfmx server, t-1 connected web server connected to another ms sql server securely behind a 2nd ethernet card and its own lan, a lan for the kids controlled by a custom linux firewall, a box for a firewall between house and t-1 [see webserver above])

A New Day!

Let’s start the day off with a PayPal donation link:

This Morning

Woke at 5am and almost got out of bed! Woke again at 6:05. Spent the next 10 minutes making 2 gallons of chocolate milk. Woke the children. Now I’m going to check my shares at Blogshares

Noah watched the chocolate milk pour into his cereal and waited a few moments then put it away and said “Cool, the milk’s turning brown.” I decided to hold my tongue.

Last Night

Tried unsuccessfully to move the children around in their beds. Noah would be in Tommy’s bed, Tommy would be in Sarah’s bed and Sarah would be in Noah’s bed. We’d hoped it would cause much confusion in the morning for April Fools. Noah was the only one that didn’t wake while we were trying to move them so we ended up with Sarah in Noah’s bed saying “Why am I here?” (she later moved herself back to her own bed), Noah made it to Tommy’s bed and Tommy just groggily said “hi dad.”

Stayed up with the wife watching Stephen King’s Kingdom Hospital and tried to stay up for Futurama
