What the heck Austin, snow??

Jake likes it.

I’d like it better if I didn’t have this cough from hell. Yesterday I sounded like a de-barked dog.

The Wheel of Time turns, and Ages come and pass, leaving memories that become legend. Legend fades to myth, and even myth is long forgotten when the Age that gave it birth comes again. In one Age, called the Third Age by some, an Age yet to come, an Age long past, [...]

Today was another beautiful day – cool and breezy. I decided to take some pictures in the back yard. My dog is such a ham, he always gets excited when I grab the camera. I didn’t get too many good shots, but here’s some that I liked:

Today was a beautiful day, cool and clear, so we decided to go to the Austin Zoo again.

Since the one year I tried NaNoWriMo I managed to write myself into a corner in less than 100 words, I’ve decided to instead sign up for NaBloPoMo! I did manage posting every day for one month a couple of years ago, so I should be able to do it again.

Tuesday I went to the zoo again. We get a membership every year, because we want to support their rescue efforts, but we don’t really go very often. I got some pretty cool pictures this time – it was a nice, breezy morning.

Here’s the rest of the pictures.

School is going pretty well. [...]

Last Thursday, Rob and I had the fantastic opportunity to go to Bracken Bat Cave and watch around 20 million bats emerge from their cave to go hunting. Of course, we didn’t see that many bats – we were told it takes almost all night for the entire colony to emerge.
It was incredible. [...]

But you can rollerskate in my garage now! If I had rollerskates, of course. Here’s an “after” picture:

Half of that stuff on the left is for the theoretical garage sale we’ll have after we get through at least some of the junk room. Hopefully.
More pictures on how we spent a four-day [...]

Snow gallery – more later probably!

Jake loves the snow. I’d really love to see what he’d do in a foot of snow, but that ain’t happening here. It’s still falling, and sticking pretty good, but if we get a whole inch of actual snow, I’d be surprised.

EDIT: Yeah, it’s more rain than snow [...]

Well, consistency eludes me so far. Again. Oh well.

It appears that Gallery is still working for me. Hopefully, that will continue. I have no idea why it broke before. I'm pretty sure it had something to do with the database, but other than that I haven't the foggiest. [...]

Here it is, 9 pm and I'm close to bending one of my so-called New Years Resolutions, or “Yeah, Rights” as I call them.

Start “playing” Yourself!Fitness and DDR more often
Keep up to date w/ Moneydance
Get the photo albums back up on my website

I've got a couple [...]
