Site Design and Veteran’s Day

I continue to wrack up a debt to my good friend Anthony who added more graphical elements and design suggestions for me. My niece, Christina, is now publishing poetry and blogging via blogger – she’s doing it anonymously for the moment. It has been a really nice visit with my Mom, her beau Ralph, and […]

Politics

It has been a fabulous experience working so hard on the Bruce Roemmelt campaign for the past 6 months. My only regret is that I did not discover Bruce’s candidacy earlier and work that much more. We got close, very close for a first time challenger running against a 13 year incumbent in a district […]

Cavalia

Last night Erci took me to see Cavalia which is playing for one more week next to Pentagon City Mall. It is a magical combination of horses (a lot of stallions), horsemanship, dressage, trapeze, gymnastics, tumbling, art, fantasy, and hauntingly beautiful music. It is perhaps not quite as impressive as many of the Cirque du […]

Lawn Mower, Much Faster Mowing

Lawn & Leisure delivered my new Ariens Mini Zoom 1540 riding lawn mower on Friday the 8th, and I tried it out pretty much right away. Initial thoughts are that this thing is unbelievably noisy. Hearing protection is a must when operating the Mini Zoom for more than a few minutes. It is also more […]

More Palm WiFi Testing

Testing Plogit again, had to reset my Tungsten C to get WiFi working again.

New Lawn Mower on Order

Last Friday morning, after several days of research into my choices, I ordered a new Ariens Mini Zoom 1540 riding lawn mower from Lawn & Leisure of Sterling, VA. Joel at Lawn & Leisure was very helpful and applied no high pressure sales tactics. Buying any riding, rotary mower was hard for me to do. […]

Roemmelt for Delegate

Last night Erci and I went over to Virginia Assembly candidate Bruce Roemmelt‘s house to help with his campaign. Last night this meant stuffing envelopes, and sorting bulk mail. Reminded us of newsletter production back in our Society for Creative Anachronism days. The crew at Bruce and Beth and Sam’s house are really nice; a […]

Voting and Meeting Bruce Roemmelt

This morning Erci and I went to vote in Virginia’s primary elections and we ran into Bruce Roemmelt, who is running for State Assembly district 13 this November. I have been very excited to meet Bruce since I first discovered he was running against our current delegate (a completely useless man), and that for the […]

Palm and WiFi

This is a test posting from my Palm Tungsten C using Plogit. If this works I’ll be able to update this blog more often from my PDA.

31 Minutes to Vote

At 7:09 this morning, my wife and I got into line outside Evergreen Precinct’s Polling Place at Mountain View Elementary School in Haymarket, Virginia. It is the first election we have voted in where the line at Mountain View extended outside. As usual, there were campaigners from both the Republican and Democratic parties outside the […]
