My Cat is Missing

Jul 28, 2008 Posted Under: Oklahoma City, Personal, Pet

If you see her around the neighborhood, please call me. We went to San Antonio this past week and my father in-law brought his dog over when staying here a couple days. She chased my cat out of the house several times and she has not been back since Saturday.

Hello from San Antonio

Jul 22, 2008 Posted Under: Personal, TDY, Travel

Yesterday we left Oklahoma City around 6:30 AM and drove to San Antonio for my work.  I decided to bring my family with me so they can see the city while I work.  I am participating in building a value stream map (VSM) for a new Air Force program here at the former Kelly AFB.  [...]

Update July 20, 2008

Jul 20, 2008 Posted Under: NBA, Oklahoma City, Personal

I had high hopes for getting a lot of things done this weekend prior to going on a temporary duty (TDY) to San Antonio but did not get much of it done at all.  We spent most of the day yesterday cleaning out my father in-law’s rent house on the next street.  The former renters [...]

Respect The Wind

Jul 16, 2008 Posted Under: weather

I was browsing through this evening and stumbled on this video montage that someone had put together with Van Halen’s Respect the Wind playing in the background.  This video struck a nerve with me because not only was Van Halen my greatest hero band of my teen age years but I have always been fascinated [...]

Finally A Little Rain

Jul 13, 2008 Posted Under: Oklahoma City, weather

We finally received a little rain during the night hours last night. It did comply with typical OKC rules in that it was between the hours of midnight and 3:00 AM. I know it is just a coincidence but it seems that 90% of the time, we only receive rain between the hours of midnight [...]

Forgive My Grouchy Self

Jul 13, 2008 Posted Under: opinion, TDY

I have been so overloaded on school work that I have had a short fuse as you can see by the tone of some of my previous posts. I am sure most of you have been under a lot of pressure at times and have taken it out on others. I do not like being [...]

iThis and iThat

Jul 12, 2008 Posted Under: Apple, technology

With Apple being the newest fad of the day and the ridiculously overpriced iPhone coming out this week, I thought this pretty much summarizes my thoughts. I honestly do not have anything against Apple except that they are way overpriced and that the same Google followers, are Apple followers. If you have ever spent any [...]

Message Boards are Bad

Jul 12, 2008 Posted Under: NBA, opinion

I stumbled on a video post by sports journalist Berry Tramel of the Oklahoman where he goes on a rant against message boards. You must view this video where he shows his arrogance. It is not that often that I come across someone this blatantly afraid of free speech. The context of this video is [...]

WWLS Crew

Jul 09, 2008 Posted Under: NBA, opinion

There has been a lot of excitement here in the Oklahoma City area about getting an NBA team. This excitement is from all types of people that I have run into since this story broke a week ago. There is one type of person that really gets on my nerves though and it seems that [...]

Procrastination is Friendfeed's Fault

Jul 06, 2008 Posted Under: Friendfeed, social networking, technology

What makes a person procrastinate could is a big question and lately I have become the world’s worst. I have gone out of my way in the past to get things done early so I am not pressed for time at the end. I have always been that way. I even get to work over [...]
