Going on Vacate

Andrew and I are leaving tomorrow for Florida.  Never been before.  We got this vacation package because a telemarketer called Andrew.  He fell for the deal.  Its a good one, I just have reservations about the quality of places we will stay.  We are taking a 2 night cruise to the Bahamas.  VERY excited about [...]

#1 is an official term?

The Saddleback Church bathroom is the closest to a “hands-free” bathroom I’ve seen.  No front door, self-flushing toilets, sensored faucets and soap-dispensors, and “hands-free” paper towel dispenser.  I was impressed.  But not nearly as impressed as when I saw the instructions for their new “water-save” flushing handle.  I didn’t know that #1 and #2 were [...]

2 cups of coffee

I went to dinner tonight with some friends at about 7:00and had 2 cups of coffee because I was so tired.  This is a tell-tale sign that I am getting older:  it is now 12:30am and I am wide awake.  Andrew is asleep (on the couch of course) and I just finished my Astronomy homework.  [...]
