Somara’s dizziness persists

Posted on March 14, 2010 by Steve

It seems the medication the nurse (not a PA or doctor) prescribed for Somara wasn’t enough. There was some slight, brief progress after Tuesday evening but a huge regression happened yesterday. I don’t know how severe it is until I … Continue reading →

Music Collection hits 2500 CDs

Posted on March 14, 2010 by Steve

This was achieved back on Tuesday but I didn’t get around to ripping, cataloging and inventorying the material until today. Of course, you’re probably thinking, “CDs? Does anybody buy those anymore?” Guilty. I’m not quite the musical Luddite as those … Continue reading →

Dizziness diagnosed on Somara

Posted on March 10, 2010 by Steve

Somara even having such a problem was news to me when she told everybody at breakfast on Sunday. Namely her ongoing issue of it for 4-6 weeks. I’m not going to discuss the why at this point because it’s irrelevant … Continue reading →

Light rail begins in two weeks…finally!

Posted on March 8, 2010 by Steve

How I totally forgot about this development is a testament of how pre-occupied I was with a couple other things because last year CAMPO (Austin’s mass transit organization) finished constructing the Howard Lane stop around this time. I’ve been pretty … Continue reading →

Brandi Carlile

Posted on March 7, 2010 by Steve

Last night was my co-worker/friend’s turn to pick a concert and a while back she chose Brandi Carlile who always gives me a Johnny and Rosanne Cash vibe; this is a good thing. I’m not even sure how well known … Continue reading →

Happy Ninth Birthday Jack

Posted on March 6, 2010 by Steve

The younger son of my friends Paul & Helen turns nine today. Unlike his older brother, it appears the weather has panned out in his favor; last month’s weather made DC resemble the South Pole for a while. I spoke … Continue reading →

Trade deadline passes uneventfully for Philly

Posted on March 3, 2010 by Steve

If you want to know and didn’t see me gripe in person or via FaceBook, the US loss to Canada in overtime sucked. Firstly, the US beat the Canuckleheads a week earlier so the game for all the marbles was … Continue reading →

Last weekend was Austin’s cake decorating competition thing. If you recall the year before, Somara took second place for taste on her tiramisu-based confection. This year she got more into the spirit of the Sci-Fi theme. Originally she had two … Continue reading →

174th Texas Independence Day

Posted on March 2, 2010 by Steve

It’s only a coincidence that it happened to be on the same day as the Texas Primaries for both of the major parties; the Teabaggers already had two gatherings elsewhere (Nashville and the CPAC thing). Much like American Independence Day, … Continue reading →

The ultimate D&D room

Posted on March 2, 2010 by Steve

My ex-girlfriends and parents thought I had too much D&D crap but they would’ve had a collective stroke if they saw this (courtesy of Jeremy). It is rather impressive despite all the multiple copies of the same books and boxes … Continue reading →

It’s always easy to forget Nic’s birthday, he was born on February 29, 2000 which isn’t just any Leap Day, it’s the one that happens once every 400 years. His unusual birthday helped me discover a shortcoming I need to … Continue reading →
