Just call me "Swims with Wolves"

The family and I went to the Great Wolf Lodge in Washington this weekend. We had a great time.

A couple of observations.

Pricewise, I thought it to be a good value all around - even the food was reasonably priced.

It's a great family environment. The lack of teenage shenanigans was nice and everybody was polite and friendly.

Some people shouldn't wear swimsuits under any circumstances. I'm a big guy, but I often found myself feeling pretty normal in comparison.

There were a couple older mom's rockin' their bikinis - nice work.

Speaking of which, a special note to the brunette in the white bikini under the umbrella fountain - thank you.

Make Sure it Works Before Showing Off

I had a coworker today schedule an hour of my day to show me how some new functionality would work.

Every scenario failed.

There was no debugging information available on the page.

How does a "professional" allow that to happen. When I show off a piece of software, I will at least make sure it works.

Guilty

I got mad at the oldest child the other day for opening a package I specifically told him not to open. Normally that wouldn't be a big deal - because it really wasn't. But what set me off was that a key component was now missing. By opening it, he had lost a critical piece.

Except, I found the piece at work this morning. Because I had opened it at work.

I think I owe my son an apology.

Rejoice - Gas is Expensive!

Me and the missus were celebrating that our local gas station was down to $3.99 per gallon.

And she's defeated my argument that a new, more fuel efficient car would be a good purchase to replace the Tahoe. Bye bye MazdaSpeed and my dastardly plan for a very "fun-to-drive" car.

Poor Choices

While in line to pick up my 44 oz tub of Diet Coke for the morning, I was behind an older lady in my local convenience store the other day. She was kind of trashy looking, trucker cap, shorts, long t-shirt. She certainly didn't look like she had money to burn.

But yet she picked up a carton of Winston Lites and a small collection of scratch off lottery tickets.

It was early, but I was somewhat surprised she didn't get a 6 pack of Bud to complete the picture.

Why do I need another Blog to neglect

I just noticed that Google has integrated Blogger into their Account page.

So, I thought maybe I'd write here.
