Today, a Look Back ...

At the Louisville airport this morning I was randomly selected for additional screening. I thought to myself, “Oh great now I’m gonna have to explain the taped up feet with a strip and full body cavity search.” Well, I didn’t because it was not discovered or brought up at all. I’m not sure if I feel grateful for not having to explain or annoyed that something like taped up feet wasn’t checked. Especially since shoes need to be removed after that shoe bomber guy in 2002. So what is the point of taking off shoes that do not set off the detector anyways. Especially if the feet are not ever even looked at? A whole lot of nothing if you ask me. (Great, now that I say this I’m gonna get some problems tomorrow.)

Ended up getting sucked into the movie Troy last night when I should have been sleeping for my 4:20am wake up call. So glad I filled up the rental car last night.

I finished Ill Wind by Nevada Barr and didn’t have a backup book with me. I know I didn’t have Firestorm (the next book in the series), so I only took Ill Wind with me. I picked up State of Fear by Michael Crichton. So far it is typical Crichton. Tons of different characters and subplots that will twist and turn and eventually climax with fantastic revelations. It is a popcorn book to say the least. It will hit the work lending library as soon as I am finished with it, but in the meantime it will be entertaining.

When I landed in Oklahoma, I kept looking out the window for wildfires but saw nothing. I was unable to do any sightseeing because I had a message from the sales consultant that the hospital had sprung a three page list of questions and requests for things that they wanted to see in tomorrow’s demo, so I am spending my time here working on that. Well, after a nap to catch up from the 4:20am wake up and a shower to take the edge off. I was starting to feel rank even if I didn’t smell or anything. So wish me luck with tomorrow’s presentation. This is certainly not typical. In fact yesterday’s was very nice.

I got my supply of plastic bags ready for tomorrow.

Have you seen the new Hershey’s Kissables? I picked up two packages last night at the gas station. They are candy coated miniature Hershey kisses in Red, Green, Yellow, Orange and Blue, I guess adding brown would realy have been too obvious. The candy coating is too thick. The great thing about M&M’s is the candy coating is just the perfect thickness and the chocolate inside is also perfect. Stick to bars Hershey’s you are better at that. And M&M’s get right of Mazing bars they are not good. Stick to the core roots, Milk Chocolate and Peanut M&M’s. And get a character for brown.

Sorting Transformers ...

Photo-A-Day 2.0 #02424 Yesterday I drove Andy to school. Today I walked over with them. I did so not because I didn't think Andy would be safe on their own. Andy has been walking home from school for well over a year so walking to school is the same thing just in reverse. I wanted to see how long it actually took for the walk to go. I of course, over estimated how early we had to head over. The walk itself only takes a brisk 15 minutes. And that is at a modified teenager's shuffle. So Andy can leave the house around 6:25-6:30 and still get there by 6:45 when the doors open to the High School. Good to know. During the day I started one of the projects I've been meaning to start and have been putting off. I'm sorting through my Transformers and getting them ready to sell. I have talked with the guys at Double Midnight Comics about selling them my collection. Not the stuff I have on display and also I am picking out some figures that I want to keep as part of the collectio...

Time with Lexi ...

  Photo-A-Day 2.0 #02401 Today We watched my sister's dog, Lexi. My sister and her husband were coming back up here from their home and they had boarded the dog. They weren't sure if they'd be there in time to pick her up so we did that for them. We had Lexi for a couple of hours before they arrived and we had dinner together. Lexi was pretty chill for the most part until Torrun came in to the living room to investigate. At first they just looked at each other. Andy grabbed for LEXI's leash and then Lexi tried to go after Torrun. Torrun ended up bolting for the upstairs and we did not see her for hours. James knew enough not to even come down.

Time For Another Change ...

  Photo-A-Day 2.0 #02402 Andy decided to clean their room today. In so doing they decided that they no longer wish to hang on to their LEGO sets. So, I now have them all and I spent the afternoon disassembling many sets to fit into the one bucket. There were many Minecraft sets in there. What I'm going to do eventually is take what is in the bucket and separate it down to the individual sets that I still have instructions books for. The organizing of that is going to be daunting. I will try and figure out an efficient way to separate everything but I'm sure that will take some time. Andy also decided that they no longer want the piggy bank that was mine. That I am putting into a box for Andy for when they get older and maybe have kids of their own.
