Uh-Oh

Seems like it might be time to upgrade from Wordpress 1.5.2. I can’t post, and I am losing some recentl posts. Maybe it is because my software is as old as software gets.

Sweater Letter

Thursday, November 2nd, 2006

I just sent this in an email to the Incredibly Understanding Wife. The same one who lets me do all the things I usually write about on this site. I am lucky to have her. She… well… she is stuck with me.

My first foray into politics

Tuesday, September 26th, 2006

I decided to run for office in my local BMW club. I have no opposition. My platform was summed up thusly:

I love my sister. Look how happy we are.
And yes, I am nearly 30 and I still play in my college marching band. Again, note how happy it makes me.
Good times.

Memed! (Phil’s Foul Four Things)

Come on.
a) No one reads this. Seriously.
b) If you are reading this, sorry for a)
c) I don’t know four people with damnable ‘blogs (that’s right, that’s an apostrophe bitch) so I will likely get an incomplete on this assignment.
Here we go.
Four jobs I’ve had:

Grocery Checker (I maintain this is the best job I […]
