Cynthia McKinney — Proof That Anybody Can Get Elected to Congress

Friday, March 31st, 2006

I’ve hinted before that there are total morons who have managed to get elected and that in general, it gives me hope that even I could get elected.  But maybe there is a “moron-factor” that I am not aware of that allows people like Cynthia McKinney to spend 11 years in Washington D.C.  I’m [...]

March Sadness

Thursday, March 23rd, 2006

What a travesty!  First that both West Virginia and Gonzaga lost.  But even worse… the over excited crap that the CBS announcers spilled out for UCLA.  “Climb the Mountain”?  Come on guys.  This was not the greatest game of all time.  This was a UCLA team who had a horrible first 15 minutes of a [...]

Web-Host Change

Tuesday, March 21st, 2006

Well, it’s hard to believe that we’ve had our own domain now for almost 2 years.  So as the time has approached, I couldn’t resist looking for a little better deal.  Hopefully, my good deal doesn’t turn into a nightmare.  I can’t say that I wasn’t unhappy with ixWebHosting but I was able (via a [...]

It’s Madness, Baby!

Friday, March 17th, 2006

It’s that time of year again… March Madness, The Big Dance!  This year, we haven’t spent as much time watching games as we normally do in preperation for filling out brackets for the tournament, but we have watched a fair number of Florida and Gonzaga games.  Florida, you may understand, but Gonzaga because of Adam [...]

American Idol — Okay, I Admit I Watch It!

Friday, March 10th, 2006

Like any good American, I now watch American Idol. But I am particularly interested in seeing how well Elliott Yamin does. Based on those questions and answers you can see he is a type 1 diabetic on an insulin pump. Then, based on this past week’s post-performance interview, it turns out he’s 90% deaf [...]

Progress On the New House

Monday, March 6th, 2006

Our new house in Spring Hill, Tennessee, is coming along pretty quickly.  They just finished the brick work and are now wrapping up the interior framing, wiring and plumbing.  Within the next week, they anticipate starting on the siding (for the rear of the house) and drywall for the interior.  While I was there, I [...]

Fun with the Yard Sale

Sunday, March 5th, 2006

In an attempt to clean things out of the house, simplify our lives, get some quick cash, and reduce the amount of stuff we’ll need to find a place for in our new house in Tennessee, we decided to have a garage sale.  We would have had it about a month ago, but this was [...]

Grayson Makes a One Second Cameo Appearance on TV

Friday, March 3rd, 2006

Last night we were watching this past Sunday’s episode of dLife (a special presentation of The Story of Insulin — Grayson appears in Part III at around the 8:16 mark) and we saw Grayson’s picture flash by as part of the show. It’s actually kind of funny for a couple of reasons. [...]

Insulin Pump Problems for Gainesville (FL) High School Student

Wednesday, March 1st, 2006

Becky found this really interesting article about a girl who attends Gainesville (FL) High School and continues to have problems with teachers trying to take away her insulin pump.

Olivia’s father, Steve Drago, was already upset about the questioning when he heard about the Lake County incident. Then Olivia came home and told him an [...]

Autistic Basketball Team Manager Plays in Game

Wednesday, March 1st, 2006

The story of Jason McElwain can’t help but remind you of the movie Rudy (and the story it’s based on). So there it was, the last game of the regular season (although basketball instead of football). The beloved team manager was suddenly given the opportunity to suit up for the game. Then, with four [...]
