How come so many men have no idea how to buy pants? I'm serious! Spend a day at the airport and watch how many men walk by with pants that are one to two inches above their ankles. I mean really! Your legs just don't grow overnight. Men, take some fashion advice here. Pants are supposed to cover your leg. The whole leg. There should be a break in the lower leg where the pant bunches slightly from hitting the top of the foot. You are not going clam digging in the airport. Please don't dress like it.

Hey by the way, I need a new scanner. Anybody have any recommendations for a quality, high res scanner that won't break my bank AND won't break itself after only two years like my last one. I have a Mac and a PC I have to support. Toss me a note if you have a suggestion. Thanks!

Ever had a profane outburst at something/someone and suddenly realized you were in public? How about on the phone? How about on a voice mail system? Say with your coworker? And now your outburst was recorded for all to enjoy. Just a suggestion: Don't do that.

My climbing partner has kidnapped my girlfriend! She has gone climbing with Gary four times in the last week. I'm jealous! It's not that I think he is gonna make a move, but it's that he has seen her more than I have. I'm green with envy. But he is teaching her how to climb, and admitedly, Gary is a much better coach than I am. Still, I miss her. Hell, if I think about her too long I *ache* for her. The consequences of a long distance relationship. I plan to bring her to SoCal for a week or so in mid August. These are the advantages of frequent flier miles. Makes an LDR a lot more palatable. I hope I can make it that long. Otherwise I just might have to hop a flight to BC this weekend.

Fourteen people (at least) have hit my site looking for Extenz. Listen guys, if you are reading this, the pills won't work. Ever. Not for you, not for anyone. Try and move some of that blood from your groin to where it is really needed and think about it. Just accept what you got and get on with your life. Don't make some schmuck with a vitamin recipe and a marketing plan any richer. Oh what the hell. Send in your money. Fuel the new economy. Millions have been made off of suckers in the past. Why not join the club? If the placebo effect gives you better wood - have at it. Just don't bitch when after spending all your money you find that the captain hasn't moved up in rank.

My house has been invaded by legions of red army ants. They destroyed a plate of cookies and a bowl of grapes left on the counter in my kitchen yesterday. I have officially declared war. Let it be known - they struck first. I was happy to live as peaceful neighbors. But they wouldn't leave well enough alone. What began with a few guerilla assaults on crumbs and misplaced food particles escalated into a full scale invasion. I refuse to be over run by this mini red menace. I won't have an army of little commie insects taking over my kitchen. To arms! To arms! I have unleashed an deadly counter attack with my secret weapon of Windex and Raid Ant traps. I have found that Windex makes an exceedingly effective ant poison, stopping the little bastards in their tiny tracks. I suppose if you dipped me in a pool of ammonia, I would probably die pretty quick too. As of today, it appears I have beaten the little bastards back, but I'm sure they are planning another assault. But I'll be ready. I won't go quietly. I'll defend my kitchen to the end.

Wow! I have a whole week with no planned travel. Novel! This will change I'm sure, but I'm going to relish the thought of it for the time being. By the way, some new photos up in the pics section of the site. Enjoy.
