I never thought I would see the day...

Guess I will adjust my gas budget to reflect falling gas prices. I suppose I should just stuff it under the mattress, given the recent losses in my meager investments.

Let there be light...

Illumination is at an all-time high. If only it translated to my productivity at work.

Come Sail Away

Weekend project saw the installation of 2 sails on the balcony. They are like "an umbrella, deconstructed" with poles on the corners rather than in the middle. These will assist with sun deflection, aesthetics and a sure-fire way to anger my landlord. Note the carpenter on the roof. Huge thanks to Jimmy, Todd and Rob for their design and execution of this endeavor.

Upcoming Tapas Party

I am on travel in an altogether unexciting place, but I did pick up this new cookbook for next week's Tapas party.

Happy Belated Birthday, Truck!

Yeah, sure, you are a husband and a father now, but I can't seem to call you Chris. So Happy Birthday, Truck. Hope you had a great day! This picture was taken at his & Holly's wedding back in July 2006.

October Road

October is National Apple Month, Sun Dried Tomatoes Month, National Chili Month, National Pork Month, and National Spinach-Lovers Month.

Three more weeks with Liz!

Today marks the countdown of 21 days before Liz takes off for an assignment on the other end of the world. Although we will wish her the best, a support group will be formed to deal with the short-term loss felt here in MS. This picture was taken on Liz' birthday last year at Anchuca. We later sent this boa to Julie in Iraq as part of a girlie care package. Liz can expect similar treatment from the Vicksburgers. In related news, I am interviewing for new sidekicks. Maybe I can get Xandi back down here...
