Civilization Expansion
It's odd how you could read a website for months and years, and then suddenly something unexpected is posted that leaves you wondering what the heck that was all about. Today may be one of those days for you. My favorite way to relax is to play Civilization IV. Challenging, intellectually stimulating, full of history … Continue reading Civilization Expansion

Relaxing Weekend, Back to Work
That was my first 3-day weekend since June. I'd almost forgotten how much I enjoyed my 3-day weekends every other week. Friday was a day of nothing; puttered around the house, read blogs, played some Ultima Online, and waited for Alex to show up so we could catch "Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow." … Continue reading Relaxing Weekend, Back to Work

My son was nowhere around this time - he was playing D&D Friday, then I left … Continue reading Mom's Day Weekend Recap..

Put a new MasterCard/Visa logo on my website. … Continue reading Thank you thank you, I'll be here till Tuesday. Try the veal.

I don't even remember what the prize is. I just remember that I want it. Ultima Online is having a contest for players to write up strategy guides. Actually, I think they've decided that strategy guides are a good idea but they don't have the manpower to write them, and this is a trick to … Continue reading There is a prize…
Lunch is over
I had poorly cooked vegetables for lunch and surfed for odd things on the web. I want to refinance my townhome but the dweebs at Countrywide aren't any help. See, I have a prepayment penalty for the 1st 5 years of my mortgage (currently about $3900) if I refinance early, and that 5 years ends … Continue reading Lunch is over
