You never question a Ninja's tactics.

Hmmmmmmm, bacon.

BTW, my wife uses this stuff called "NuSkin" or something clever like that. She uses it to glue her cracked and split fingers back together. She has a bit of a dry skin problem in winter.

Hey, I remember this conversation! I think I might have even responded.

Now that you have gotten on the electronic band-wagon for paying bills, I have the next step for you:

Have them AUTOMATICALLY paid! Most utilities and other regular monthly billers (I coined a term!) have this option. I moved to doing this after I realized it had been YEARS since I had seen a mistake in one of my bills. Not worth the time everymonth. You can still review the bills online, too. Now I don't get all that mail, and don't have to worry about when I'm out of town.

I think my favorite part is "Super Truth cooperator." This smacks of something translated in babelfish.

I'm a single profile dude: "One Dad's Life" (or a space eliminating version of it) everywhere I go!

I agree with Zach - the purchase of my Nikon D60 was clearly my best purchase of the year...got me back into better photography since I had to cut myself off from my film SLRs due to film/processing expense!

Still love my old SLR, though. In fact, I plan on using it tonight. I have 5 rolls of film sitting here waiting.

Other than that, my best moves this year were involvement in the St. Louis Blogger's Guild, and continued blogging and tweeting!

1, 2, 3....

I addressed that whole "complain" thing on my blog today, too. I have no Christmas list, and have many thanks. MANY. I haven't made a list, but they are there.

I blog and have a twitter account. Although I initially have focused on St. Louis related people, I'm slowly branching out. In both cases, my world has expanded because of social media.

Who knew?

I have a boss (who is actually a good boss!) that explains it easily like this: "Don't play the victim" and "choose your battles wisely."

Those two statements tend to put it all in perspective for me.

You've had some great self-portraits lately. I love looking through the 365 days projects on Flickr, but never liked any I've tried myself.

I can't imagine working on a submarine. I've visited a couple, and I can tell you I am too claustrophobic for that gig!

I'm certain its a job that had a lot of camaraderie and generated many stories, though!

Wow, this meme is really making the rounds! It swept through St. Louis in the past month, too.

I also do most of the cooking, because I find it fun and relaxing. I begged my mom incessantly as a kid to learn, and she taught me. Now she sometimes calls me for advice. Relocation of my office has really hurt my weeknight cooking, but the weekends and special occassions are ALL MINE. I even cooked on my birthday, where we had to explain to everyone that I actually WANTED to do that!

Rock band, been there, too. Still play (at 42) though mainly at our church's weekly contemporary service. Guitars and Keyboards/synths for me. No singing.

Congrats to Nanna J! I know that is not an easy thing to do.

Love this picture, btw. Composition, exposure, post-processing...everything is very nice!

Is it true a car drove through a tent during the lugging?

I was so looking forward to getting pictures of that, and just got one of the last tent.

The whole event was a lot of fun, I'm looking forward to the next one.

I LOVE taking pictures of bees. We have lots of Bumble Bees in our yard and I am constantly chasing them around. It's even worse with the recent purchase of a new Nikon D60.

If I remembered where it was on my blog, I'd post a link of one of my Bumble Bee and Coneflower pictures.

I'm looking forward to getting macro lenses and close-up flashes (I've never had close-up flashes, before) for the new camera. I miss the macro lense I had for the manual focus film SLR.

What a cute kid!

Nice list (including the previous version). I have a hard time finding "Dad" blogs that aren't outdated or bad links.

Certainly some solid words of wisdom, here. I haven't been in the military, but I am a leader and I try to instill most of these points in my direct reports (in a "normal" 9-5 job), with an eye towards making them new leaders (and my replacement).

While certainly not a military type (unlike other High School rockers, though, I had and still have a TREMENDOUS respect for military types!), this is great advice that works well in all areas of life, whether you play in a band, write a blog, work as an engineer, or work as a janitor.

The basics of any occupation or pastime are the same.

Excellent post and insights, as always!

My wife is quite petite and the milk laden breasts looked pretty good on her!  Without getting into too many details, let's just say I didn't mind the milk issue. :)

Greggs last blog post..Friday Photos - Whitaker Music Festival - July 23, 2008

Is there any chance that we should all just stay inside this weekend, safely locked behind our doors? You know, to stay out of the way of the Courtney party machine, described above?

I've got to get to the Habitat for Humanity Store. It seems I hear about it everywhere, now.

OK, use of shutters for a wedding, hmmm, how about for putting old photos of the bride and groom on?

Greggs last blog post..It's Springtime for Hitler and other tales

I had the veggie-tales song where the tomato is translating the Spanish the cucumber is saying:

"Poor tomato, he can't dance...like the cucumber can!"

Now, I suppose rainbow connection will be in my head.

"I'll go maybe twice, and then I'm out."

Yeah. That's how leatherface started! I joke.

Hey, if I did this, I'd look ridiculous, as my natural complexion borders on pasty. I'd love to have me some nice dark brown skin. I have a lot of India friends (as I travel there), and I am so jealous of their skin! I mention my pasty pale complexion and they all laugh...and it's not the laugh of jealous people. No. It's the laugh of, "We're so glad you mentioned something. We thought perhaps you didn't know how pale you are!"

I'm so jealous.
