Sheep Guarding Llama

It is Friday. Dominica is coming down here today. I haven’t seen her for a week 🙁 She is all mad at me because she had to go buy a roof mount bike rack to put my new bicycle on the roof of her car to take it down to North Carolina. We are leaving for Topsail Island first thing in the morning. It will be nice to get away and have nothing to do but relax. No hospitals calling…etc. I will have my laptop with me so I will try to keep everyone updated as to how the vacation is going.

Dominica and Gibran (that she works with) have become addicted to Grand Theft Auto 3 on the Playstation 2. They even brought the PS2 over to hook to the awesome stereo system to be able to play on the 32″ Trinitron with surround sound. Anyway, the thing that makes the story funny is the fact that on the same day that Min and Gibran were playing GTA3 on the big system, Nicklin Associates (the company that I work for) hired the third top professional GTA player in the country. How funny is that?

Today is going to be a short update because I want to get it posted. I will work on getting July 31 off of the other computer before I take off but it isn’t very likely so you will probably just have to wait on that update for a week or so. By the time that I get back from NC we are supposed to have Verizon ADSL in the house and we will be setting up a wireless network. That will be really cool and I can write updates for you while sitting on the deck in the lawn chair looking out at Deep Creek flowing into the Magothy River.

I expect to be able to post tomorrow before we leave though, so expect to be able to check back.

Another day of shopping at Bed, Bath and Beyond. John bought $1000 of new bedding for house. It is nice to finally be into the house. The AC is able to keep up too. It is nice to finally be in a nice cool house. We moved in today. We actually slept here last night. The phone line got turned on today so I am finally able to work on the site again.

Nate called this evening. He and Bob are learning HTML in their grad class at Ithaca College so they decided to start working on a web site for Boynton Middle School’s Music Department. Hopefully we will have something to show you there very soon.

This is a place holder. I wrote today’s update and it is stuck on another computer. Sorry. Actually, I am pretty sure that this has been erased now from that computer. I will leave this here to serve as a reminder that I shouldn’t leave updates on different computers anymore.

It is another super hot day down here in Washington. John and I worked in at the hospital today. We had to interview new salespeople today. Dominica is having friends over from work to play Grand Theft Auto III on the surround sound system.

I have convinced Wilfort to go stereo shopping with me sometime this week. Oh is he in for it. Hee hee. Little does he know. He will be buying his own hifi system in a week or so.

In just a couple more weeks, I will have been eating vegetarian for a whole year now! It is hard to believe that it has been that long but I pretty much don’t even think about it anymore. And people have stopped pushing so much to only have meat available most of the time and now that Dominica has been a vegetarian for about six months, it has really gotten easy. Even Eric is pracitcally vegetarian now. I’m starting a trend.

Not much news to report from today so I am going to go ahead and post. I will be spending the evening working on my school work for the two online classes that I am taking.

Ok, so I wrote the update for Friday and then I forgot to post it before I headed back to Ithaca so it just sat on the computer in Maryland until today. Sorry gang.

Today was a pretty busy day. I started working at Lifestyles this morning and then I had to get an oil change and get all backed for my stint in Maryland and North Carolina (starting today and for the next three weeks minimum.) About 4:30 this afternoon I managed to hit he road and I arrived in Annapolis just after 10:00 pm. I watched some “Whose Line Is It Anyway” and I am about to head to bed now.

I won an auction last night for the final fifth Marantz MA-500 monoblock that I needed to complete the power supply for my home theatre system. It should arrive sometime this week (in NY, where I am not 🙁 ) And Loopy will have to set it up and check it out for me. Maybe this will be my last raving about the new stereo system for some time. But probably not. 🙂

Not much to report today. John and I will be moving from the condo to the new house in two days. This week will be pretty busy. I expect to be able to keep the site up to date though. Have a good week.
