Happy Anniversary to the Paragon of Patience
Unlike my blogger wife, whom I’ve only been married to for a few months, my real wife has had to put up with me for 17 years. I know, I know. “What kind of drugs is she taking? And can I have some?”

Postcard from Pepperkat
Got a postcard from our wandering youngster today:
Hi Guyz!
I’ve gotten tons of great pictures! We’re haveing a lot of fun and learning TONS! Did you know that the Amish men only grow beards after they are married? This mornin Heather drank hot syrup thinking it was apple juice! We went to Gettysburg yesterday and today went to a bunch of Amish farms… 2… one was boring but the other RULED! We also rode buggys!
p.s. Chickens sound WEIRD!

What kind of blogger am I?
So far I have seen this quiz by Rhonda say she is “fun and spunky” and that Kat has a “what the hell” attitude (complete with a Catwoman-with-a-whip pic). I think the thing is rigged. Or psychic.
My aren’t you cool! You have no shame, or much to
hide! You share your brave self with the web
world! Your pretty fun to read! You blog baby

I tried to come up with something witty and cool to say about Techfluid, but the only thing I could come up with was: “Techfluid is kinda like Seventeen magazine. Except not.”
Yeah. I know.
Well, you try to think of something better than, “I love her!” or “She rawks!”
Bite me.

Isn’t That Lovely?
NASA has a different mission patch for everything. But in their latest mission, sending two robotic geologists to Mars, they have surpassed themselves with coolness. That’s because all the space geeks from MER-A and MER-B will be wearing Marvin Martian and Duck Dodgers patches. (I care more about the patches than finding water on the red planet. Is that wrong?)
I hope they don’t forget to take the illudium Q-38 explosive space modulator. And where is the eager young space cadet anyway?

So Long, Pencil-Neck
Newsday.com – Pro wrestler Freddie Blassie dies at 85
OK, here’s where I lose some of you…
When I was a kid, Saturday night was “rasslin’ night.” After the 11:30 news, my dad would sit back in his recliner with some odd midnight snack and watch the WWF. Not the over-the-top, blow-your-head-off, superstar WWF of today…but cheesy, greasy, black-and-white TV brawls. You know. RASSLIN’!
I wasn’t a big fan of it (especially in my teen years when I wanted to watch Saturday Night Live like all the cool kids), but it was one of those “Dad” moments that has stuck with me. It would be so cool to sit with him one more time and yell at Fred Blassie, Chief Jay Strongbow, the Grand Wizard of Wrestling and Captain Lou Albano, while gnoshing on some sardines or Vienna sausages, some reeeeeally sharp cheddar cheese, some crackers (Ritz or saltines) and milk. That’s not something I would have bet on missing several years ago, that’s for sure!
For those of you who remember rasslin’ (or the curious few who are still trying to figure out why I am the way I am), check out the photos and bios at The Professional Wrestling Online Museum.

Microsoft gets patent for interactive entertainment.
Argh! I’m going to stop looking at these stories and getting all upset by the stupidity of the U.S. Patent Office. I really am. Their decisions sound moronic and a bit ominous, but they’re not enforceable. They can’t be. Dear God, I hope not.

Mmm… Cheesecake…
Birthday dinner at The Cheesecake Factory. Oh yeah.
Highlights:
- Sitting next to a quartet of giggly
girlsyoung women, listening to their tales of love-life woe, when one of them says, “Like, it’s so inexplicable I can’t even explain it.” - Finding out that the same girls are celebrating a birthday and having the waitstaff sing an annoying happy birthday song.
- Having the wife threaten me with a knife for suggesting that I tell said waitstaff that it’s her birthday, too.
- Getting the worst coffee ever made since some guy in Peru drank a cup of water from a pot into which someone accidentally dropped a handful of strange beans and spent the next two days running around with his loincloth on his head yelling (in Inca, of course), “I am the Great Cornholio! I need teepee for my bunghole!”
- Making a joke about screaming in terror if the waiter asks, “Do you want more coffee?”
- Cleaning the spewed coffee off the my glasses when said waiter indeed asks that very thing.
And, of course, cheeeeeeeeeesecake….
