Not many of the leaves are brown, but the sky is grey.
Today is my cousin, Ryan’s, birthday:
Last night, SaraRules fixed Sloppy Joes for dinner. Very tasty! Â After dinner, we went for a walk around the neighborhood; we covered roughly 1.67 miles in about 40 minutes. While out, we checked out some of our neighbors’ lawns and landscapes for ideas that we might like to employ in our own yard.
Upon returning home, SaraRules put in some time quilting, while I set about wiring a wall plate in the family room for coax and Ethernet. I noticed something just before I started running the wires: The Ethernet cable I was using was the 568a configuration… a variation which I had never made. Once I figured out which of the strands were different, wiring the plate was pretty easy. I apparently did it right, as the 360 found Xbox Live without too much ado. We wrapped up the evening with an episode of Human Target and some ice cream.
Chew on This: Food for Thought
There are many wonderful things to be done, and only you can do them.
Workout
Last night’s walk helped keep up the step total: 6,318 steps.
I’m going to try to get back into the gym next week, after we get back from the Right Coast. Â We’ll see how that goes.
Stray Toasters
- Improv Everywhere: Who You Gonna Call?
- Enrico Caruso, and Confessions of an Operaholic
- A couple of items from SaraRules:
- LEGO + science(!) = Stop-motion LEGO documentary about early microbiologists
- Legendary Jazz Pianist Hank Jones Dies at 91
- Periodic Table of Superpowers

I’ll elaborate on this later. - Awesome Star Wars Wedding Cake
- Daft Punk: Da Funk (original audio remix):

At least we still have Law & Order: The Next Generation and Law & Order: Voyager… - From the “Whiskey Tango Foxtrot…?!” file:Â Blowgun woman: “I like to hear people say ‘ouch’ “
- After taking on The Covenant and The Flood, UNSC ODSTs and Spartans seem like they can take on just about anything… but are they ready for this?
Namaste.
