Day: April 7, 2005

Over came a hurdle on one project today!

In other matters a project of roughly $X was delayed as the client recalculated their schedule and re-estimated the project at $3X.

Having an off day like me? Sugar levels wrong? Ambivalence gotcha? Then you need further distraction! Try the Kitty Cannon! Or an even more fun game brought to us by James! (James’ is better as it has more user control over the distance)

Strangely enough, that first domino fell again…

(and that’s Murph in action! We needed the cell phones desperately yesterday!)

Fend Off Dementia with Sex, Crosswords and a Run

CANBERRA (Reuters) – Sex, cryptic crosswords and a good run could help ward off dementia and other degenerative conditions by stimulating new brain cells, an Australian researcher said Thursday.
…mental and physical exercise helped create and nurture new nerve cells in the brain, keeping it functional and warding off diseases such as Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s

[Turn on your best Monty Python] Through careful and repeated experimentation researchers did find it inadvisable to try all three at the same time. One researcher commented, “We had decent luck with simultaneous crosswords and sex particularly with certain positions such as the ‘doggie’ and, my personal favorite, the ‘woman on top’. Running and simultaneously solving crosswords sometimes worked but often ended with injury. Running and sex just plain looks silly. Doing all three activities at the same time proved to be disastrous!”

prolactin appeared to promote new cells in the brain and could be found in high levels in pregnant women

Perhaps that explains some of the more laughable behaviors of pregnant women. They are simply trying to learn how to use their new brains!

Ever get the impression that the White House just doesn’t have the class that it did in the past?

April 7, 2005 — VIDEOTAPE of Jenna Bush in very high spirits at a bachelorette party is being sold and could end up on national TV by the end of the week. Luckily for Jenna, the cameraman missed “the high point . . . Jenna on all fours doing ‘the butt dance’ — and doing it very well — as guys were ogling her thong.“

You know, if my daddy was president I think I could keep a clean nose and act appropriately for a 4-8 years.

Heading to the ER. The blood stopped so did we. The ER won’t deal with him if its not pouring out but man if we had have showed up the way it was pouring this morning I bet we’d be at the front of the line!

Computer repair in the morning, programming throughout the day, Pack meeting this evening.

At 12:01am yesterday the second domino fell then miraculously I had the sudden ability to right either the first or second domino but not both and before I was faced with that choice, apparently some kind soul righted the first domino and I was able to right the second. I didn’t have time to look into it yet but my thanks goes out to you.
