20081101_Henderson_NV_Rally0058Originally uploaded by Barack ObamaMake your plans now. Where is your polling place? What time will you be going? Let your boss know if you might be late or leaving early. Allow time for long lines. And get out there and vote!

Whee! I Mean, Wii!

The Girl has been advancing in her computer skills. She takes digital photos and uploads them to Flickr. She joined Facebook and added her info and profile photo. AND - she figured out what to get for my birthday, tracked it down online and ordered it! She was then dying to tell me what it was, as she is still not very good about keeping surprises...

If We Lose on Tuesday, Then You Betcha!

Posted on October 29, 2008
Various media and commentary sites are reporting Sarah Palin has broken the unwritten (or maybe it is written somewhere) rule that you never talk about the L word, especially not six days before the election. Not only that, but she has apparently expressed an interest in being at the top of the ticket in 2012...

The Bowling Gear Video

Posted on October 29, 2008
No, we're not yet ready to have video of ourselves actually bowling, but per the request of TCU, I bring you the movie mix of candlepin bowling gear!Score update: Tonight I scored an 84, 94 (53 on the first half) and 83. The Girl brought in a 78. On one string she had 48 in five frames...

Office Done (Mostly)

Posted on October 25, 2008
After a full day of work and with the timely arrival of Middle Sister just when the big moving portion of the day came, the home office is ready for use. Below is the whole story, as recorded on the Mino:Before: Progress 1 - Credenza pulled out, lots o'junk gone: Progress 2 - credenza and kitty condo relocated: Progress 3 - Mischief finds a spot: Complete!:

Home Office - The Baseline Recording

Posted on October 25, 2008
The introductory video to the mess that is my office took over a minute, so I figured I'd just load that one to flickr now. The flickr max is 90 seconds, so that's that. Longer stuff will have to go to YouTube. Anyway, so you can see what I'm starting with, I bring you the story of my home office: Oh, and I forgot to point it out, but that folded up pipe-like contraption by the door is a Gazelle Edge...

Flip Mino!

Posted on October 25, 2008
I've got a new gadget! It's a little tiny camcorder with really simple operation and easy download and software - the Flip Mino. I have the cool black version. Just push the big red button and it starts recording. Touch the up or down buttons to zoom in and out...

Sure, NOW Space is Vital

Posted on October 24, 2008
Now that Senator McCain is scrambling for every last vote he can scrape together, especially in Florida, he's talking a different story about funding for space-related programs. Unlike the three times during debates that he ridiculed Obama's support for a Chicago planetarium where the future astrophysicists of America would first discover their passion for science, McCain now supports increasing funds for NASA:During a visit to Florida last week, Sen...

The Girl's Foliage Photos

Posted on October 23, 2008
The Girl has become quite the little photographer, and is now using her Flickr account that I got her two years ago to go with the digital camera! She has four photo sets from our foliage weekend, which are gathered together into one collection. Click on the lovely photo below to go to the full collection...

Tales of Bowling

Posted on October 23, 2008
The Girl and I have joined a candlepin bowling league for the winter, with some friends from golf. It's been quite fun, and the rust is falling away from my long-dormant bowling skills. Last night was our fourth week, and I got a 104 on my second string! Now, for those of you who have only done ten pin bowling, let me explain that candlepin is a much lower scoring game...

"Natural Law" and the Modern World

Posted on October 20, 2008
Cosmic Variance has a much more thorough and eloquent post that I would have the patience to write on science, morality, "natural law" and the ick factor in politics and marriage equality.

Fall Foliage Photo Fun!!!

Posted on October 20, 2008
We went up to Argyle, New York, in the Lake George area, this weekend for our 2008 Fall Foliage Tour. Of course, we took lots and lots (and lots) of pictures to share with you all! We stayed at Lant Hill Farm, a lovely B&B on a working organic farm...

Fall Foliage Time!

Posted on October 17, 2008
After work today The Girl and I are off for our annual fall foliage expedition. This year we're breaking new ground by heading to upstate New York and a bed and breakfast located in the guest house of an organic farm surrounded by mountains. The Foliage Network says we've chosen the perfect weekend and that the foliage in that area is "spectacular" this year...

All's Well in 401(k) Land

Posted on October 17, 2008
Our payroll guy returned from vacation and found a bunch of notes from his manager, who had been handling things in his absence. Among them was a notation about my 401(k) withholding and my check. Turns out the money was funded properly to Fidelity, but the information on the pay stub was incorrect...

Speaking of Bullies

Posted on October 16, 2008
What's up with the 46-year-old school bus driver accused of taunting a 10-year-old boy on his bus by calling him gay repeatedly and then inciting the other kids on the bus to tackle him on the sidewalk and beat him up? And then joined in the fun! Maybe the kid was eloquent, just like that Obama guy...

Eloquent Eye Rolling

Posted on October 16, 2008
John McCain acted like a schoolyard bully in last night's debate. Eye-rolling, ridiculing of intelligence, ignoring responses, squeezing his lips together in an apparent attempt to restrain himself from all the outbursts demanding to be released (either that or trying not to vomit, I'm not sure), flamboyantly scribbling all his wicked good comebacks on his notepad, repeating accusations instead of responding to the facts presented, sighing loudly into his mic, and even wrapping it all up with a snort-laugh...

Congrats to TCU!

Congratulations to good friend and frequent commenter TCU and her hubby Darth Latte on the much-anticipated birth of Baby Ava!

Extreme Saver

Posted on October 15, 2008
Today's check had my first 401(k) withholding on the new plan. I verified my election of 8% (with an automatic 2% annual increase) last week. Yep, all set.Open my check today to verify. Eight dollars. In case you're wondering, I do make more than $100 for a semimonthly paycheck...

More Backyard Nature!

Posted on October 13, 2008
IMG_0912Originally uploaded by RSLSI have today (Columbus Day) off for the first time in years, so I've been enjoying the peace and quiet of the backyard. I took lots of photos of birds and critters, and have combined them with the turkey photos I got over the last few days...

Aspen Belafonte Henderson, 7/15/1989 - 10/10/2008

Posted on October 10, 2008
Aspen was with me my entire adult life - he was born just as I was finishing grad school (which I started right after college), and I selected him from his litter when he was just a little baby. He came to his new home several weeks later, when he was old enough...

McCain and Stars - Again

Posted on October 08, 2008
Wow, John McCain really has a grudge against astronomy. He brought up that planetarium funding foolishness again during last night's debate - twice! He tried to make it sound even sillier by referring to it as three million dollars for an "overhead projector" at a planetarium...

Flight Delayed

Posted on October 03, 2008
Too much wind last evening. Going back on Monday.In other news - Governor Palin, could you please answer the question asked? It's a good thing she's not taking the bar exam. One of the most common errors in the essay portion is not answering the question asked...

Flying a What?

Posted on October 02, 2008
For some cool videos of trikes in action (aka weight shift aircraft, powered hanglider, microlight, ultralight), go to this page. The most informative one is titled AirBorne XT912 and features a couple who do tours and instruction in Hawaii.

Ultralight Flight

I'm going for an ultralight trike introductory flight lesson tomorrow. Whee!

Outer Banks Photos Galore!

I assembled all the pictures and videos from my camera phone, PowerShot, Rebel and The Girl's Digital Elph and placed them into sets by day of our trip. All the sets are in one collection. This way you can view them one chunk at a time and not be overwhelmed...

Big Storm

Posted on September 25, 2008
Well, many of our planned activities for today are out. The Girl was to golf around 10:00 and I was to get a hot shell massage at 11:00, then I was going to walk around at the Wright Bros. Memorial and hike in Jockey's Ridge State Park. It's pouring and very windy out, so no golf and no outdoor meandering and picture taking...

Hang Gliding Complete!

Posted on September 25, 2008
We each completed our five flights this afternoon, and had a blast!!!! We each landed flat only once, and the rest of the flights we landed on our feet. The Girl was quite nervous anticipating this activity, but she's ready to sign up for more. On our way home on Saturday, we're each going up for a tandem towed flight, where we'll each go up attached to an instructor's kite and be towed by a little plane or ultralight to 2000 feet, then cut loose for a glide down...
