What's appropriate for this blog?
10 November 04 12:29 PM
Concerning my post about funneling my $600 check from the U.S. government to Amnesty International , I've received quite a bit of feedback. Some of it is a response to my position on U.S. policy, like "Jay, you're a dumbass. " "The world is safer with Read More...

In the United States , today is Labor Day . Now that I’m a manager, I don’t labor too hard, but I took the day off anyway. We’d talked before about taking the little one on a ferry ride, but hadn’t done it yet. Today seemed like the last good chance to Read More...

My mom just bought another house. She keeps doing this. Nurse by day, real-estate mogul by night/weekend. I hope it works out for her. My brother & I were at the hardware store getting stuff to help her fix the place up, and found that they had spools Read More...

Fallingwater
18 August 04 10:33 AM
While in PA, we visited two Frank Lloyd Wright homes. The first was Fallingwater . I didn't go inside, instead spending the time roaming the grounds. One of the neat things about the design is that it's hard to see. You can never really look at the whole Read More...

Losing it all
18 August 04 08:41 AM
2 days before the trip to the Far East , I lost my wallet. Looks like it fell out of the luggage on my bicycle on the way home. That’s a tough time to lose a wallet, because I really wanted that stuff for the trip. There was also a lot of cash, a lot Read More...

My blogroll
22 July 04 04:38 PM
I don't have a blogroll listed in the sidebar. I read in SharpReader , and maintaining two lists seems tedious. So, I've saved an OPML file that you can import into your reader if you're curious. Be sure to use “Save Target As”. Read More...

New hair, step 1
22 June 04 05:17 PM
