Soaking Up Sun

The beaches opened this weekend. Not that they were closed before, but now the lifeguards are on duty. So we spent the morning on the sand, thumbing through the Times and taking a few cheesy snapshots with the point n shoot camera. Until the humidity rolls in, it's quite comfortable at the beach, with the temperature in the mid 80's and a nice sea breeze.

Done baking, we headed home for lunch and a nap for Bonnie.

The afternoon led us to Target where we picked up Mario Kart for Wii. What a game! Nintendo is going to sell a boat load of this title. It's easy enough for anyone to pick up but has plenty of tricky courses to keep the more experienced players entertained.

And tomorrow it's back to work.

12 Weeks And Counting...

It's official.   We're pregnant!   She's due around Halloween.

We've got a lot to do to get ready.   The furniture is already on the move.   And baby books litter the coffee table.   The dad book I have is interesting - the basic message is do whatever she says for the next 9 months.   You'll have to ask Bonnie, but I think I'm making progress.  :) 

Stall Shortage

Sure, our office doesn't have an abundance of bathroom stalls.   But who knew some felt so strongly in our building?   Luckily, we're moving soon.   

Taking Aim

I've never fired a gun.  But after reading this opinion piece, I think it may be worth looking into.  Florida can be a rather strange place at times.   Knowing my fellow employees may be just an elevator ride away from opening fire, doesn't help.

Dumb Deer

While driving home late Saturday night from The Villages (after visiting Bonnie's parents), we had a close encounter with a deer.    Just before picking up I4, we both saw 2 deer streak across from the shoulder.   I hit the brakes hard, very hard.   It was quite a test of my 325's stopping power - and it passed.  

Anyway, I was telling my friends at work about the encounter.   Somehow we got to talking about hunting.   I mentioned that hunting just doesn't seem fair - the deer should at least get to fight back.   Apparently, if you're dumb enough to try to shoot one at point blank range - they do fight back.

Caught a 48 Hour Bug

Yep.   I woke up Friday with a scratch in my throat.   By Friday afternoon, I knew I was in trouble. Saturday, I slept the day away.   This morning we watched a few episodes of The Wire and then Bonnie was off to work.  Finally, the symptoms are starting to subside.  

Hopefully next weekend will be more enjoyable. 

Histograms

If you use a digital camera or even a basic photo editing program, you've probably stumbled on an image histogram.    Here's a great video to explain what it all means.
