The most Amazing Car Modification

I just can't stop looking at it!

Cornbread - the next Aphrodisiac?!?

In the kithcen, my wife was making cornbread in these TINY muffin tins. I asked her what she was up to. Well she has an aviary fill of finches and three breeding pairs of parolets (really small parrots) - she said that since it is Springtime, feeding birds foods rich in protien encourage them to start nesting and breeding.

Anyway, since then, I know I will never think the same about cornbread.

Computer Convention in Las Vegas

So last week I was at a computer convention in Vegas. It was very valuable with all the people you can meet, but ONLY in Vegas can you go to a computer convention where free beer is handed out.

The best part is that I won $225 without even gambling - it was a drawing held by one of the vendors. When my name was drawn I had to answer some trivia questions and then go into one of those plixiglass cylinders where they use air to blow money all around and you have to catch it in mid-air. What a blast!

By the time I got home I was exhausted. I had to catch a 6AM flight back home and sleeping on a little plane doesn't work so well. It felt so good to be back in my own bed!

April Fool's Joke

So even though I love April Fool's - I always miss out on it. I am usually too busy. Today I got a good one in on my business partner. It went somethign like this:

My Text Message: "When is Kate's Due Date?"
His Reply: "May 5th"
My Text: "If it is May 5th, we have plenty of time. Let's can push out our busines trip to April 22nd, or May 2nd."
His Reply: "Our first daughter was two weeks early. I do not want to risk it."
My Text: "Dude, there is not that much risk. Besides she has given birth twice already. Its not like U R going to miss out on anything."

At this point I cannot describe the combined guilt and thrill I felt at that moment. It has been 10 minutes since I sent that lat message and I cannot image what Travis is thinking right now. I think his wife is going to kill me.

Just got a message back:
His reply: "Okay, I talked with Kate abou tit and she is cool."
-- Doh! he totally turned this around on me! But I called his bluff.
My Text: "Great. I just sent an email to our client. I'll let U know what they say."

Monkey Boyz!

My boyz love to climb trees. I joke with them and tell them if they spend too much time in the tree they will grow a tail.

Nathan actually walked over to some people at the park and told them to be careful when they climb trees!

Car Break-in - in SLO??!?

Today I parked on the top floor of the new parking garage in downtown SLO (the one on Palm st). I was just getting off the phone (with a detective in SB - talk about IRONY) and I left the stairs and turned to my car.

The driver's side door and trunk was open. My first thought was debating whether or not this was my car.

What was stolen? Not much - I have plenty of reason to count my blessings. Even though the trunk was opened -the tools and even a LAPTOP was left behind. Onside my car the charger to my cell phone, a Maglight, and some CDs were the victim. Not to mention my driver's side window is now out of its track since it was forced.

So I did call it in to place a police report. I guess life wasn't exciting enough!

Anyway, I thank God the car was not more damaged. I thank the Lord my client's laptop in the trunk was not stolen and I thank the Lord that this was all that happened and it was not a crime a violence.

Stay safe and lock your doors. Even in SLO Town.
