Not An Update

10.24.2007

Just for anyone checking, there won't be anything of note happening on the site this week (and maybe next week) as I get everything together to move to a new server.

To complicate things, my home PC is acting all goofy and I'm about to have to try taking out an IDE card and reinstalling Windows, followed by reinstalling a lot of drivers and sundry programs.

My life: chock full of excitement!

Nite of the Widgey-Widgey

10.10.2007

Back in January the guys came over for Get Away From Your Wife / Game Night. We played some Star Wars, we played some Robo Rally. Tonight we're going to try it again!

It's been a while since I played anything that wasn't on a computer or game console, so I'm looking forward to tonight. And not for any competition or bragging rights - tonight's more about hanging out and having fun.

At least I hope that's what it is. Unless I'm the big winner, then there'll be some bragging going on!

Update!
You can find out what happened over here!

20 Years Of Not Talking To Jerry

10.06.2007

This is one of those posts for me and Jerry, so even though it won't make sense to the rest of the interweb, I don't care!

Today is the day that I don't talk to Jer, but I had forgotten that it was the most important day of the year until actively browsing and coming across the 'mania. Although the masthead banner changes every week, there are a couple of days that I have the graphic set to something specific. On Oct 6, there is a Vigilante graphic set to come up, and when I saw it on Oct 6 I was confused - mainly because I was pretty sure it wasn't in the current rotation of graphics set to pop-up.

A shook my head and quickly remembered that I do indeed set graphics to come up on certain days, and October is when the whole Vigilante fiasco historically happened. Yep, Oct 6 was the day. And then I laughed. I laughed because the day had slipped up on me and I had totally forgotten about it, a day that had been so crushing to me 20 years ago. I laughed because it was Saturday, and I usually don't talk to Jerry anyway, and he would never know.

Unless...

I sent Jer a text message: Today is the day I don't talk to you on behalf of Adidas.* Two minutes later I received a phone call with a hearty laugh - message received and reason remembered, loud and clear.

Heartless bastard.

*Jerry had always said that Vigilante's costume looked like an Adidas track suit. Although I argued with him over this for years, he does have a point
