IHB, despite the Ann Arbor's News dire weather prediction for the day,
it turned out to be a lovely sunny, breezy day at the Nature Conservancy's
Erie Marsh Preserve, where we sounded the depth of the Great Sulphur Spring
to be 16.9 meters.

IHB I had a fun night with Carson and Allida.... I was pleasantly suprised
by Pirates of the Carribean being quite a good movie.
McDonalds gave me a $6.50 off admission ticket to it for being an employee,
which is the reasons I was suprised. This is the first time ever that
McDonalds has given me something that wasn't shit.

Woke up somewhat early, made sourdough biscuits for the first time in many
years. I'm still at my brother's and their daughter had gotten some sourdough
starter as some kind of project.

Determined hunting at outlet malls paid off--I am now the proud owner of
a lovely dinner service for four, in the dansk scandinavian clover pattern,
for under $50. Conversing with boy later in evening, it was discovered that
between us, we now have 4 sets of china (in possession or promised) between
us. And therefore 1. he needs to pray that the set his aunt has earmarked
for him doesn't have flowers on because the rest of them do and 2. when we
get around to getting married and registering and stuff, we can go straight
to registering for corvette tires--y'know, *useful* stuff. :)

IAHB the weekend at the sailing club was lovely, even though there was too
little wind to sail yesterday.
Pitched the tent Friday evening and came back yesterday. Sailed once,
I think, after pitching the tent, taught a few lessons Saturday morning,
hung around Saturday afternoon, enjoyed a pick-up barbecue, got (mostly)
caught up on the club's books, played cards, made s'mores, sailed by the
light of the moon, sailed Sunday morning before the powerboats made it
impossible, and watched son-chan do some fiberglass work.
A fun weekend.

Yesterday took a little old ferry boat from Sandvika to a small island in
Oslofjord, hung out & swam for a couple hours with the family. Hope those
photos turn out - beautiful day.

I'm happy because I finally got the new version of my web site online.
http://PoliticalGraveyard.com/
It's the first complete new version since August 2002. I have added
more than twelve thousand politicians, for a new total of 119,675.

Since Saturday I have been able to walk without my rib hurting (which it has
been doing for a couple of months) and I just managed to sleep an hour because
both upstairs neighbors are back to work. I may celebrate by walking along
the river. Not much chance of swimming this year as I have to gain back 10
pounds before I will have the energy to travel that far. You get to
appreciate the little things after a while.

IHB I've been spending more time in Caro than Kalamazoo. This makes the
long-distance relationship tolerable. Since I tend to spend 4-5 days
here and 2-3 in K-Zoo, it feels more like a weekend relationship with
K-Zoo than Ken. :)
IVHB Jessica and I are signing the lease on our dream apartment
Wednesday. I can't get over how cool this place is. There's a long
description of it at http://www.livejournal.com/users/saltatoria

IHB I'll be spending a loooong weekend at the Rocky Mountain Ragtime
Festival in beautiful Boulder, Colorado. Lotsa great music and mountain
scenery. (Bummed that I'll have to miss the Grex birthday picnic,
though.)

My son and I visited my parents who are camping west of Alpena, MI
(Avery Lake, between Lewiston and Atlanta). While there, they took us
on an "elk hunt". The area has several herds of elk and we went
looking to see them. We spotted 9 elk; 3 females with 2 babies, then
shortly later, 4 young males. Male elk and female elk run in different
herds.
An elk seems about 5 times bigger than a deer. I don't very often see
wild animals that large.
My son was fascinated by the elk, and refused to let his grandfather
drive on until the elk had moved out of our range of vision.

The tar file size and md5sum checks all pass. The Second Great Serial
File Move is a success. Here's hoping it's the last.
And NO SPAM IN MY MAILBOX TODAY!

Oh happy day.
I had an interview with a school a month ago. Didn't get the job.
So the principal of the school calls today and says the person they
picked flaked out on them. I was their second choice, so am I still
interested?
Yikes! Will be signing the contract in the next week or so.
I'm a teacher. Whoa.

IHB I managed to download a couple of Daria episodes that are not among the
batch currently being shown on cable. They were everything I hoped they'd
be. :)
