Perfectly Windy Sky

A friend/ex-client sent me a message via Facebook to ask how I was doing, if I’m keeping busy etc.   Below is my response to him which I’ve pasted in because it’s too damned late/early to re-write the whole thing: Busy?  Well…hmmmm…Thinking a lot, but don’t seem to be doing much. Stressed out in general which should…

I posted this as a blog entry on Facebook and, even though I briefly mentioned this in my previous post, for the sake of consistency, wanted to post it in its entirety here, too… We had some really strange weather here today.  Now, to understand the significance of what happened, I have to include a little background info…

 I haven’t made an entry in a while…not sure why. I guess I just haven’t done much of anything to write about lately. We’ve been playing tennis, but haven’t gone since Saturday because the weather has been crap.  We had the weirdest thing happen today. The sky got really dark and it was obvious something…

Even though I have a bunch of entries in here, they are mostly imported from MySpace and Facebook blog entries.  And, I intend to import a bunch of my old stuff from a few years ago, and, if I’m REALLY ambitious, some of my old stuff from when I was a kid and in high school. …

Now, normally, you’d think that, while watching the Women’s Singles Finals, I’d be rooting against the player who ousted both Serena and Venus Williams in back to back matches at the US Open.  But, I have to give credit where credit is due.  Justine Henin is a force to be reckoned with and she deserved…

I’ve been a fan of tennis for a long time and, in fact, used to watch quite a few matches in my high school days when Chris Evert Lloyd (my favourite at the time), Martina Navratilova, Andre Agassi and John McEnroe were the hot stars of the court. I haven’t watched many matches in a…

After two days of a three-day weekend spent inside feeling like crap, I woke up feeling much better today.  I decided to go out and find a couple of caches and try out GeoScout, the new software I downloaded for caching with my iPAQ Mobile Messenger 6955.  All in all, the software was much better than using PocketStreets,…

 Ever since I was a kid, my mom was sick a lot.  She was in and out of hospitals – both medical and psychological – a lot of my high school years.  This means that, in addition to having to deal with more grown-up things than I probably should have at that age, as an…

At long last, I have finally achieved one of my dreams – to win a stuffed animal of significant size at the Fair!  We were at the PNE (Pacific National Exhibition – the equivalent of a State Fair – held in Vancouver yearly) last night and were looking around at the different games that were…

 I have never (to my recollection) seen a lunar eclipse, particularly not one where you see the eclipse in totality, so I decided to stay up to have a look.  The cool thing about being a night owl in general is that it’s not that difficult to stay up until 2:45am to see interesting celestial…
