Best Buy

Over the weekend, Lauren and I went to be confused by Inception. It was a pretty good movie, and the first movie in a while where I liked the ending. But the movie wasn’t the best part. I’ve been having a hankering for cotton candy for a while now. It started when my parents came [...]

Wet Paper Towel

I went to the clinic today to have them look at my wrist/arm. I tried earlier in the week to make an appointment, but the times never jived up. If you can’t get an appointment, you can just show up on Saturday morning, and they see people on a first come, first served basis. Yesterday, [...]

Take Me Out to the Ball Game

This was a big experiment. I (1)wanted to see if the video on my phone was good enough that I could reliably use it when things needed to be taped. I (2)needed to learn to use the latest version of iMovie. About 4 years ago Apple completely rewrote their video editing program that comes with [...]

It was no Jerky World

You might recall the worst part of my trip to Texas a few months ago. Today’s trip to Omaha was much better. There were some anxious moments. At 5:52 someone shouted, “Jerky Factory.” Around 5:53 someone postulated that the Jerky Factory probably closed at 6:00. At 5:55 we arrived at the designated meeting McDonalds to [...]
