Insert a Meaningful Life Here

The Bride is sick and hacking up a lung. She has no sick leave left, so she is forced by her office to either go to work or take leave without pay (even though she has annual available and FMLA). I suspect she has broncitis because her boss had it and the symptoms she's described to me and the sound of the cough. Eldest was sick earlier this week but is looking much better and she went back to work on Friday. (And I didn't have the flu, as misreported earlier. It was probably something I ate the previous night.)

The Bride and I had good interviews on Friday. She met with the folks at the Nevada Department of Transportation and, across the parking lot a couple hours later, I interviewed for a Management Analyst position with DMV's Research and Development Division. We were both met by nice people and we agreed that if offered, it'd be hard to turn down the positions.

If you're looking for my old website, don't bother. bobmoore.org is gone. I shut it down today because it had served its purpose well for the time I needed it. I was always a tad uncomfortable with the domain name because, technically, an ".org" extention is reserved for non-profit organizations (charities). I'm far happier with my current site and will be working on it this weekend. Stay tuned for a special announcement sometime this year. :-)

Got up this morning and did school stuff first-thing so I could go riding. What a day! High sixties and low seventies for the entire trip with no wind. Did the Three Albertsons and felt good about my pacing, though the lack of outside riding caught up with me afterwards. Looking at my three other Albertsons' ride from last year, I'm a little miffed that I haven't improved in speed/time since last year, but I am eight pounds lighter since my first one at the end of September, which means I didn't gain too much weight over the off-season. Feeling a little leaden right now but that will pass and I'll burst with squirrel-like energy very soon.

Are the Olympics over yet?

The demented people I work with are always dropping video links on the office. These three are good and they are work-safe. WARNING: not for dial-up.

- Get the feeling Big Brother is watching? The ACLU is worried about your privacy and sponsored this page to wake you up. Don't take it seriously.

- If you want to be a commissioned officer in the greatest military force in the history of history, you gotta learn to dance.

- Yes, there are love songs about computer geeks not making love.

This is the coolest web site I've seen in a while. I freely admit I'm a techno-geek and love electronic toys. You are reading the blog of a dude who once owned (and they're still in the house somewhere) the original blueprints of the Constitution-class U.S.S. Enterprise, NCC-1701. I'm too embarrassed to admit here how many hours I spent drooling over those blueprints and, now, this website.

So it'll be no surprise to you that I support this ticket in the upcoming presidental election.

I'm going to miss Don Knotts, the bumbler with the heart of gold. Take a minute to whistle The Andy Griffith Show theme song, would ya?
