It has been an interesting month to say the least. I have been reluctant to post to the site since it actually still exists in two different locations, but I can’t hold it in any longer. In the home front, I have someone residing on my couch for the first time since Susie crashed back in the mid-90’s. So far things are going well, and…
May 28, 2006I have got part of the new server up and running, and am probably a full day of work away from completely moving the site. However, personal issues have cropped up and everything is on hold. My grandfather, William Holgate, 79 passed away on Tuesday morning so I am in Phoenix helping mom and my grandma get everything organized and done. It was wierd going…
May 11, 2006This is taking forever!! I have run into so many problems, I just hope I can get them all ironed out this week..
May 8, 2006Well I did it. Money be damned. Well at least it will give me something to focus on rather than sitting on my butt feeling sorry for myself. I splurged for my new web hosting and in the next week or so I will be moving all of my domains over to the new site. You might notice some things starting to change, but hopefully…
April 14, 2006Before I left for Australia, I had done my taxes on the free Turbo Tax site. This is the first time in 7 years that I can fill out the 1040EZ since I did no business with SeaGranite last year. I had a number in my head for how much I owed on the taxes and when I logged in today to finish them up,…
April 13, 2006When I used to drive all the way home from work to Studio City every night, I raced to get to the McDonald’s on Riverside and Lankershim before 12 midnight. That is when the Ice Cream Machine at McDonald’s goes into self-clean mode for the night. I guess they want to make sure that they have the ice cream ready in case someone wants a…
April 9, 2006So something that I have wanted to do and be a part of for over a year has finally begun. There will be a ton of gray hear spouting, hand wringing and general ulcer producing over the next several weeks as I go through interviews and challenges from every angle. I told myself that when this day came, I wouldn’t lose focus and keep plowing…
March 31, 2006The Sci Fi channel recently picked up the BBC revival of Doctor Who which started to air in 2005 in the UK. I was interested in seeing it, but I had my reservations after suffering through the miserable Doctor Who movie on FOX back in 1996 (featuring the Eighth Doctor). The Doctor and I were friends back in the 80s on the local PBS station…
March 30, 2006Well it has been a week since I have been back from Australia. It hardly seems like only a week, it feels like a month! Returning home to an empty house is never fun after spending 24-7 with travel companions. I jet lagged the first few days and was glad to get back to work – just so I could have something to do. I…
March 23, 2006The ides of March are upon us, and that means two things: the end of the trip as well as repeating the day twice. After a few precious hours of sleep (I planned it this way so I would be tired on the flight and be able to stay up when I get home and try and get back on a schedule) we were off…
