Beginning to doubt that I inherited my father’s woodworking skills

My wife and I were wonding about Spalding Gray and his disappearance. Here’s more Still No Answers in Spalding Gray Case
Nearly two months after actor-writer Spalding Gray walked out of his Manhattan apartment and disappeared, his wife holds out hope that he will return unharmed.
…36 tips…several accounts from reliable witnesses who believe they saw Gray on the Staten Island ferry…Russo has said she fears he may have tried to jump off the boat.
Russo has two sons – ages 11 and 6 – and a stepdaughter with Gray. She has been frustrated that she has nothing to tell them beyond “Dad’s missing and the police are looking.”
…Though she still hopes that Gray will turn up unscathed, Russo said her rational side now believes “he’s had some kind of accident, either intentional or not.”

More programming accomplished.
Enzimes added to slow sink upstairs. Crossfingers; I’d hate to think I didn’t have the pipes angeled enough. I’m thinking that there was an awful lot of corrison from the lack of use of those pipes and that something just needs to be freed in the pipes. Hmm. Corrison would be inorganic and the enzimes would be of no use. I may need to snake the pipes. No big deal.
Time to work on the pinewood derby car.

You know that feeling you have when you’ve had a congested head cold for several days and you are just starting to feel better and you yawn real big and suddenly everything is more clear. Yeah, that’s the one!

Productive morning of coding. Getting hungry.
Weather outside is great; however, I suspect a storm is brewing.

I have taken the 7 yr old and 10 yr old to school. Tommy jumped from his chair as I came down the street thinking I was the bus. Searched him and removed contraband (D&D dice and books); I’m certain there was more. He is just in one of those kinds of moods.
Was pleasantly surprised to find wife and baby awake although I’m certain it was Tommy and I raising voices to each other that got her up in the first place. I am trying harder and harder not to get into shouting contests with him and I am doing much better.
Now I will do some rapid programming followed by phone calls and hopefully a couple of resume submissions and then some financial stuff. I feel better physically although I’m still achy; my stomach feels weak from nerves; my mind is in control but feels like it could race at a moments notice.

This Morning
Awoke to the 13 yr old’s tapping on the wall at 4:40 and although energized, I could not motivate myself to go work on the computer.
Woke again at 6:10 to get the 7 yr old and 10 yr old ready for school.
My lips are dry and cracking despite pumping water, gatoraid, and v-8 into my system. Chapstick seems to be helping. My throat remains a firey torture. Yesterday I thought the throat was on the mend.
Last Night
Settled in early with a fire roaring.

I took Amy and Tommy to a park that was primarily slides. Tommy mostly watched Amy play and Amy did things like climbing open rung ladders that impressed me to all ends. She had such a good time that she threw a royal tantrum when it was time to go. She arched her back to stay out of the car seat, rolled out of it and sat in the regular seat determined not to get into the car seat. I’ve never seen her act this way over not wanting to leave.

My wife remains cold and distant to me. Reading our son’s blog makes me think perhaps she just needs to be left alone today.
Movie: The Passion of the Christ
This is a difficult one to review. I have to say the 2 hours and 6 minutes went by rapidly which implies a good movie. However, I’d have to say that if someone that had never heard of Jesus Christ, had never read the bible, and had never been told any of the backstory, this movie would have lacked plot and given the viewer the impression that they were watching a documentary about how unjust and horrid our lives where 2004 years ago as seen through the eyes of a crazy man being persecuted.
I say “a crazy man” because if someone in ragged clothing ran around today declaring that he was the son of God would we not persecute him? I don’t think a crucifix would be today’s choice; instead we would lock him in a tiny room and give him regular treatments of antipsychotic medicines.
Mel Gibson’s choice of using subtitles and not English was superb! Had it been done in English, I believe the movie would have had no credit whatsoever.
This movie mirrored Braveheart in style. The violence and bloodshed was not as sickening as other reviews I read would have one believe but it is amazing that the body continued to move after the beating and beating that they presented it.
The summary on iwon tells the entire movie. Having read that summary, you would be watching only for the effects and violence.

This Morning
I am finally starting to feel like I’m mending. It still hurts to swallow but I don’t twitch as badly when I do. Tommy has cooked blueberry muffins and I can actually smell them (and they smell great). I’m toying with the idea of eating one.
Goals today: clean for the next 2 hours, pinewood derby, program, clean between all changes of activities

Took Sarah to a party at a karoke bar 30 minutes away from here. Didn’t make sense to drive home then go back for her so I pretended to be invisible and enjoyed a Coke float.
Returned home and collapsed for the afternoon. Didn’t mean to but then if I didn’t, the wife would be disappointed.
Save “The Passion” tonight. I’m going to have to think this over before giving a review. I’m not certain that I can say more than one or two sentences about it.

This Morning
5:20- Noah up and playing gameboy
6-8: went upstairs several times to ask boys to quit yelling.
Throat is on fire. Hurts to swallow. Fever gone (I think).
Baby just woke.
Yesterday
Spent the day sick with a 102.1 fever. My whole body ached. Stayed off the computer. It’s difficult being sick in this house; I feel guilty for not continuing on as normal.
Sex too loud and too long!
Woman Reports Neighbor for Disturbingly Loud Sex
A German woman took her male neighbor to court for noise pollution after he repeatedly kept her awake through half the night and had at least one four-hour sex session
Hold the phone! This guy needs medical attention not a lawsuit according to this!

Ohio woman gives birth to sextuplets in one minute, “It was like a popcorn popper”
“…like a popcorn popper”! We named this one Orville and that one is Jiffy and the little one is Olive Oil and, oh yes, the one that is so alert is the Kernel and of course don’t forget Butter and Salt.
