Two southpaws named Mark. Hmm. LOL! Anyhoo, Mulder went the distance, but got the loss. Sucks!
Saw The Extraordinary League of Gentlemen. Special effects were awesome. Movie was on the so-so side. 😛 But like I said, special effects!
I think I still like Pirates of the Caribbean best so far. I want to see it again!
TUCK YOUR SHIRT IN!
I just don’t get it. If you’re riding on a motorcycle, TUCK YOUR SHIRT IN. First of all, you should be wearing a jacket of some sort. Second, no one wants to see your pale, bony back speeding along the highway. Ye gods!
I CAN KEEP A SECRET
I’ve been keeping one (for the most part) since the beginning of the year. Sometimes I want to write about here and let my lovely readers know. But I can’t. So I don’t. Sometimes I mention it in passing, a casual slip here and there. No one knows what I’m talking about, of course. One day though, I might slip and I will encounter the direct question, “How do you know?” Will I evade the query without lies, merely dodging the question? Or will I break down and confess? Or will I point out facts and have the person deduce the conclusion themselves?
I know not. The question has yet to be asked of me…
1. What’s the last place you traveled to, outside your own home state/country?
Cancun, Mexico!
2. What’s the most bizarre/unusual thing that’s ever happened to you while traveling?
When I was in Hawaii that first time, I actually met a guy and hung out with him. LOL!
3. If you could take off to anywhere, money and time being no object, where would you go?
NEW ZEALAND! I would spend the time traveling throughout the country, both islands. And I would pay my respects to Kevin Smith in Christchurch…
4. Do you prefer traveling by plane, train or car?
I haven’t tried the train yet, but I suppose I prefer traveling by plane because then I feel as though I’m going somewhere faraway from home. But I like traveling by car too.
5. What’s the next place on your list to visit?
Kauai.

SUCKS! I actually had the chance to listen to this game on the way to work and I had to listen to them to LOSE. Grrr! Poor Barry Zito. 🙁
Yesterday the sergeant read a letter from our recently retired records deputy. I had gotten a chance to read it before swing shift came on and I almost cried. I almost cried again when the sergeant read it to us.
Dale wrote a very wonderful letter, first thanking everyone for the potluck, then going on about his years with the department. He’s keeping all the cards and gifts and in the future will share them with his grandsons, to share with them his time with us.
Of course, what got me was the personal thanks he gave to me for the pictures and the website. I felt so honored by the mention. I almost cried at that moment. When I first read it, I had to stop because I didn’t want to start bawling at my desk. Shucks!
I want to say this, Dale is a class act. The reason he got such a beautiful send-off is because *he* is a beautiful person. He worked hard, kept an even demeanor (even in the face of total idiocy and stupidity), and he treated everyone with respect. He is one of the best men I have known in my life and he was certainly the best at work. All that knowledge now retired. Alas! But I respect Dale and I keep trying to tell myself to follow his example at work. Sometimes it’s hard not to vent though…
Anyhoo, I’m very happy for him. He gets to enjoy his retirement with a working mind. I wish him and his family all the very best…
Bryant will be tough to beat – Interesting article by Dan Wetzel. Even though I’ve never met Kobe Bryant, I’m inclined to agree with the article…
