Chapter 4: A New Beginning

Just a quickie.  I noticed, while browsing through Facebook the other day, that my cousin scanned and posted some old Polaroid snapshots he found of us from when we were just toddlers.  I actually remember these photos.  I, of course, don't remember taking them, but I remember...

I know I mentioned an entry or so back that I had lots of pictures to post, but that Zoto had been acting all wonky.  Well, come to find out, their storage server lost two of the main hard drives.  Even though they don't really support the site anymore, the site admin drove across ...

<--- More pictures that-a-way. I think I'll post some new photos of my reef tank.  I've added quite a bit to it.  Still need to get a new, good overall shot, though, since so much has changed.   Not a great photo, but here's a shot of my Coral Beauty. Ah, now that's a better&hel...

<--- More pictures that-a-way. More randomness from the last six-months... Willie, the newest member of our kitty family, shortly after adopting him back in May. Willie, the red headed stranger.  Yep, we totally named him after Willie Nelson. Yeah, Cash is not such a little kitty anymore,...

<--- More pictures that-a-way! And even more randomness from the last six months. Cat got your tongue? Argh!  I am Kitty Vicious! So, we had this storm roll in back in June that cause the weirdest cloud formation I had ever seen. I felt silly taking pictures of the storm clouds.  Tha...

<--- More pictures that-a-way! Okay, this is the last one I promise.  Well, at least until I get our pics from the Guadalupe River float trip scanned in.  We used one of those awesome underwater disposable cameras.  I swear, it was the first time I've actually had film developed...

Many months ago, Chuck and I decided to be more conscious of our daily nutritional choices, and we've since reasonably modified our eating habits.  Nothing drastic, but rather sensible.  We keep our pantry and fridge stocked with plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables.  We've elimin...

Scary moment of the day:  A snake in my house. As I've mentioned in past entries, Chuck and I are aquatic enthusiasts.  We have two large aquariums, one reef and one fresh water, in our house.  The fresh water tank is, of course, full of aggressive cichlids that thrive on fresh fee...

I remember a time in my life where I spent hours each day browsing through MySpace, posting photos on Facebook, and writing daily entries for my blog.  When I arrived at work each morning, I signed on to every social networking page imaginable, and I panicked at the thought of signing off an...

St. Patty's Day was a night to remember.  Drinking, debauchery, and Irish tunes.  Who could ask for more? Chuck carried this flag around all freaking day. Chuck, me, and Jeremy starting the night out right at Mother Egan's. Chuck and Jeremy proudly displaying their Irish and Scottish he...
