I‘ve been Match-ing for a couple days… It’s quite stressful.

We bottled our wine a couple days ago.

I’ve been ComputerGuying at a pace. I’m very worried that there isn’t enough money to be made in the residential market though. I’m joining the Hackettstown Rotary Club. That might help. I sure hope.

Construction on the Projeti plane continues. It’s all over the dining room table!

I’m lonely.

I’m going to try golfing and hiking a bit. Allamuchy State Park looks like it could make for some nice walks.

My Burning Man ticket arrived in the mail! I’m so nervous!

The NYC Burning Man group looks very very active. The NJ group…. well, I had to write to the administrator to be sure I was on the list after a week because I couldn’t tell if I was on it or not. I’m caught (again) with the option of making friends that live over an hour and a half away from me.

Meetup.com is….. there’s nothing going on in Northern NJ. Nothing that would even remotely interest me. I signed up for like 10 groups and couldn’t find a single group with more than 4 legit members.

Marlboro / Marlborough Massachusetts

As I was driving around Marlboro 2 weeks ago, I ran across the weirdest thing… Some of the OFFICIAL signs in this town read “Marlboro” and some read “Marlborough”. I thought that spelling differences like this had been done away with in the seventeen hundreds!

Match.com Stupidity


Match.com doesn’t want me to use my real name as my username, so they shut down my account. The real crime here is that I’m not a wa-, a wa-, a wacky weatherman named Harris K. Telemacher.

The Name of my Band

Last weekend, Noni, Bamfa, Julia and I went to the Cole Brothers Circus in Hackettstown (just across the way from where the Merry Go Round picture was taken). It was a pretty darn good show! On our way out, Julia got a mermaid balloon. When we were in the car on the way to dinner, I noticed that the mermaid wasn’t the ubiquitous Ariel. I asked Julia what the mermaid’s name was. She eyed the blow-up fish and promptly declared, “Her name is Lola Paralyze!” I think that rolls off the tongue pretty well, don’t you?

Hear it

Projeti

The plane and parts arrived today. See my flying journal

eBay to the Rescue: Pocket PC

The Pocket PC I ordered on eBay came in. I opened up the box, reset the device, set it in the cradle, followed the on-screen prompts to register it with my computer, and it instantly replaced my ailing Pocket PC. I love it when a plan comes together.

[grin] something “just worked”!

eHarmony

I was talking to TJIC and two other friends of his tried eHarmony and both were hopeless like me. Of course, TJIC is easily categorized so he can use the service. ;-)
