Aw, crap … oh, whew

November 7th 2007

I hadn’t had pho for over a week. I know, I know … heinous! In any event, I was really looking forward to beefy soup goodness for lunch today.
I left a little later than usual and trucked on down to my usual place. As I pulled in I noticed a conspicuous absence of cars. To [...]

Mmmm, bacon

July 11th 2007

I saw this over on Kelly’s website a few weeks ago, and asked her where she’d done it. Then, because I’m me, I forgot I’d asked her until I was reminded by a post over on ChrisDiClerico.Com. I finally went and did one, and there is the result. Scarily accurate, eh?
This was actually a [...]

Saving me for last but you better not eat me at all…

February 15th 2007

Came across this, thanks to a post by Bill, and I just had to go play with it. There aren’t a whole heck of a lot of options, but I think that there are enough to make credible likenesses. You be the judge.

Shake it like a bowl of soup…

January 5th 2007

This is probably a little late for most folks for today, given that lunch is only a couple hours away, but I wanted to let all of you in the Piedmont Triad area know that I am declaring today the first, and I hope not the last, Phở Phriday. Look, I made a logo:

Now, I’m [...]

Realisant mon espoir, je me lance vers la gloire…

November 16th 2006

I’ve been in Dallas all this week. It was a last minute trip, and has been pretty hectic since I got here, but I’m headed home tomorrow. All is well, except that now I am addicted to phở. Damn you, bluestarliz, sivatonight, and revjim!
Monday night, after work, I went to a cafe with sivatonight and [...]

Foil: Coaches College - Day 5…

August 8th 2006

The longest day yet. Today included three sessions in the gym and a one hour seminar on ancillary coaches information; the kind of information not related to the technical aspects of coaching fencing, but more the general side of coaching such as stretching, relaxation, and other coaches duties in making good athletes.
In the gym [...]

Well, I promised I would post pictures tonight, and so I have. The one up there is the proof I promised of Maestro’s ribbing. Note the parenthetical name next to mine, on the name-tag outside my dorm room, for all the world to see. He also called me to the podium [...]

Makin’ friends with the ketchup and salt…

May 4th 2006

On Monday, I mentioned that I had joined a community, as part of my further weight-loss efforts. I have to say, I am really digging the whole way you count calories eaten and burned. As I mentioned, I’m big on tracking numbers and this thing totally feeds into that need. I’ve become obsessive about it. [...]
