Very tired and so many things left undone. The biggest is not applying for a web development position that popped up. Perhaps I will make that a must do goal before leaving. As long as I leave the house by 8am I’ll be doing fine. I really need a laptop. I think the next computer purchase will be a laptop for the household.

Did some cache maintenance on two Geocaches today. That felt good. Renewed the tags for the Jeep so I’ll be legal to drive tomorrow. Granted, I’m not mechanically where I need to be but as long as I’m not forced to parallel park or get boxed in, I’m fine.

I put a new battery in my watch that hangs from my belt loop. The 21 mth old has seen it for the first time and is determined to figure out how to remove it.

Body Found in East River May be that of Spalding Gray


(New York-WABC, March 8, 2004) — Relatives of Spalding Gray have been told by authorities that a badly decomposed body pulled from the East River yesterday may be that of the missing actor.

…so badly decomposed that the face was unrecognizable…

A report from the medical examiner’s office is expected to be back later today.

Productive morning thus far. Paperwork in place for new contract. Finishing touches on a two day project that took 2 months. Client invoiced!

Now a lunch break and then I’ll seek some paperwork. I either have to license the Neon today or the Jeep. One of the two must have tags. Then I drive with either a busted tail light or a busted starter. I’d prefer to take the car simply so I can lock up my stuff. Driving with luggage in a Jeep and taking a reststop are challenging to say the least but I’ve learned a few tricks.

Coffee May Pump Up Work Stress

Study says it increases anxiety levels, though men think it improves performance
I will personally vouch for that!
A British study says men who work alone may pump up their stress levels if they have coffee, even though they believe it will boost their productivity.

And men working as part of a team may feel less stressed after they get a jolt of caffeine, but it may make them less effective in their tasks.



there’s also evidence to suggest that caffeine boosts confidence, alertness and sociability, along with improving performance …

A New Day!

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

This Morning

The covers were so warm and cozy today. Cuddled up against my wife, The blankets seems to wrap tighter around our bodies holding us to the bed.

Tommy seems like he can’t decide if he wants a battle or not.

I moved boxes and furniture today. Shopped for slacks (I hate that). Helped movie girl scout cookie stands around.

Am tired.

Still have 2 dogs to bathe, dinner to cook, floors to scrub, 2 client quotes to write, 1 project to finalize, paperwork for the next contract, and financial projections to make.

Seems like everytime my relationship gets good with one of the kids I find a way to blow it. Sarah is now upset with me. She got stubborn about a shirt and we were running out of ways to resolve the conflict (in hind sight we still had many options) so I resorted to emptying her closet to the floor and yelling. Was cool dad yesterday. Bad dad today 🙁 This caused damage to Sarah and I, Cathy and I and Amy and I. All the ladies in the house are upset with me now.

Women Plan Topless Protest on Daytona Beach (link safe for work)

Two women are planning to lead a topless protest Sunday in Daytona Beach in spite of a federal judge’s refusal to stop police officers from arresting them.

…Shirley Mason and Elizabeth Book intend to march with other shirtless women and men for a half-mile …

Of course there are going to be men there!
The women believe it is unfair that only men are allowed to go topless in public places…

I don’t disagree!

Their lawsuit claimed they should be allowed to protest topless under the free speech, freedom to assemble and equal protection clauses of the U.S. Constitution.

Someone I think the following is going to get them. There are always 2 interpretations: 1) the people that can afford to have it interpretted, and 2) the people that can’t afford it

officials have warned the planned protest violates city ordinances against public nudity, disorderly conduct and obstructing sidewalks.

This Morning

Slept like a rock accept for the half a dozen times the dog woke me with barking, or the child with the smashing of a coffee mug. Other than some cat vomit we had no mess so I assume the dog was barking at the raccoons and other critters that roam at night.

I awoke paniced this morning then found calm. The wife is working herself into a tizzy over my leaving town. I’m not happy with it either but it could quickly turn into telecommuting and we need the money badly.

Last Night

Spent too much time on the computer and my wife passed out without our evening chatting. I goofed.
