Stepside gets my teeth wiggling

Yes, the title made no sense. I figured I would step away from the cold and logic side of things and just cut loose, as it were. I am actually thinking of installing Windows 2k on a machine for my father for his server/backup computer. I was thinking of setting up RAID since I have …

I have been so busy lately that sleep has not been one of those things that a lot of is permitted. I think this weekend I will be sleeping some. Also, all of our Christmas shopping is finished and wrapped so we are set. It will be a good Christmas I believe. Later…

A day off

Looks like I get a day off tomorrow for a holiday. I do wish it was a day off on Friday but Thursday can work. Speaking of working, I am hoping to dig a trench along the whole fence line in the back yard and pour concrete in it. So far our three dogs have …

Not much to say…

Well, I do not have much to say this entry except that my Grandfather died yesterday, the 24th…..

I can be boring…but not always

I have noticed that when some of the people I know write blog entries they seem to have pages to say. I don’t think I have ever been able to put into words all of what I think, so mine tend to be a bit shorter if not redundant in nature. It has always been …

Birthday

I know of this annual thing called a birthday and imagine that mine seems to be today…or at least that is what my parents tell me… I could have a birthday on Feb. 29 and only age every 4 years…well, it would be nice if it worked that way but it does not seem to. …

Yes I know…

I know it has been a while since I updated this thing. Life has gotten in the way so very much since then. I will try to update this more often but that is something I cannot promise. Anyway, just so you all know, I still work at First Community Bank in Houston. I still …

The weekend

This past weekend was a somewhat busy one. On Sunday, 03/10/2004, my wife and I went to the rodeo. Reba was singing for that night. She was in good form and I actually enjoyed going. UPDATE [03/26/2004]: I just noticed the mistake. I bet I was looking at the wrong month. It should have been …

Computer room

My computer room is almost finished. It has been a lot of work but I can actually walk in the room now. Once it is totally done I will be able to do work in there. Anyway, gotta go…lates…

Honeymoon and more…

Well, that was a fun week of being on a Honeymoon. Nicki and I went to San Antonio for the whole week. We did all sorts of things and have pictures to boot. I am still sifting through most of the pictures that are of a digital nature but some are up right now. If …

Less than two days…

Less than two days until I get married. I have always hated standing in front of people. Now I will have to do so and say my vows in front of some people. I seem to be one to go against my nature a bit more recently but that, I guess, is love…sometimes. It’s all …

Handel’s Messiah

Nicki and I went to the Houston Symphony and listened to Handel’s Messiah. I really enjoyed it. Nicki did not enjoy it like she did the Ballet. I rather enjoy listening to Classical music and the like. It was nice to hear the Christmas carols and other songs done the way HM did it. Anyway, …

The Nutcracker Ballet

On the 14th of December we went to see the Nutcracker. I cannot say I enjoyed the whole thing but the first part was ok. I think the reason I did not like the second part was that the whole thing was centered around entertaining the main character which was dreaming all this. That got …

No time for fun…usually

Well, fun for me is usually working and toying with computers. Sometimes I bring out my left-handed guitar and pretend like I am good at playing it. I do have the natural talent for computers but none for anything musical. In other words, you would not want to be in the same room when I …

Moving time…

Sigh, it was a long Saturday. I helped move my Fiancee out of her parents’ house to an apartment. It had to be a hot day of course as are most days(and nights) in Houston, Texas. She is mostly moved in and I got her cable Internet connection going about 30 minutes before typing this. …
