Haven't been online much. My MacBook has been freezing up at odd intervals and with the painting I didn't have time to futz with it. It was up long enough to take a TimeMachine backup and get my current password file onto a thumb drive. From here there can be annoyance but no catastrophe (unless one or both of these backups hosed.)
The plans of painting productivity evaporated into laziness and napping. I bought the paint and then that was it.

I kinda' thought your 3 day budget for the project was a bit high. But now I understand. ;o)

The painting is basically done. We slept in the guest room so we didn't have to put the bed back together. We'll walk through and touch up what needs it, then pull down the tape. It looks really good but it did take us from 9 AM to 10 PM for prep and painting.

Playing poker tonight as relaxation before a big day of painting tomorrow. I'm in one of the FTP fantasy freerolls - 7 card stud hi/lo. I would say this isn't one of my best games but I've cashed every stud I've played and not even close in any hold em or omaha game or HORSE game.
My age must be showing. We have a late night at work Tuesday upgrading systems and Thursday morning I'm still wiped out.

I completely understand where you are coming from. I'm just starting to feel normal again.

Two things about this 1) Holy crap, this is my neighborhood and places I shop at and 2) Who counterfeits $5 bills? Isn't the risk/reward ratio off for that?

After a few grueling weeks, it looks like we have booked a vacation cabin in the woods near Asheville. We'll be going to more waterfalls, Chimney Rock and fun stuff around there. On this vacation last year I brought along the giant Bone book. I find sitting in the woods reading and hiking to be a pretty good time.

I'm looking forward to it. My favorite part is the state park where I can go swimming with my dog but I like the whole area up there.

There's a lot packed in here: "*FRP* Newscast in one hour. Seen MJ's will yet? We have. Also, preview of 'public viewing' at Neverland. Your tweets onscreen!!" http://twitter.com/ricksan... One tweet contains why I hate broadcast news in general, CNN and Rick Sanchez in particular, and the media's sudden adoration of Twitter. 140 chars of hate.
*snort* Tell us how you really feel, Dave!

Also, I hated media's obsession with the Michael Jackson freakshow when he was alive and I don't like it anymore when it turned into hagiography and necrophilia.

The $50K HORSE at the world series of poker is not going my way. I needed Huck Seed to finish 1, and Erik Seidel and Chau Giang to finish 2 and 3 for maximum gain. ES and CG were the first two out at 7 and 8, Huck Seed is short stack of the remaining 6.

There is probably more in wagers on every WSOP event than the prize pool. I don't have a cash bet per se, this is for my fantasy poker league on Full Tilt.

I could kick myself over Vitaly Lunkin. I picked him in my A group the event before this one. If I had him, I'd be killing everyone.

For unknown reasons, I was imagining what kind of TED Talk that Bill Engvall and Jeff Foxworthy might give.
I've always enjoyed watching both of them on Ferguson because they're actually much sharper than their acts make them out to be.
- J Wynia
When I was at Georgia Tech in the mid to late 80s, Jeff Foxworthy was working at IBM in the same neighborhood, right there on 14th St. He's definitely no dummy.
- Dave Slusher
Foxworthy's act is weird and frustrating. Just when he starts getting funny, intelligent, and insightful, he realizes that he's losing his audience and starts telling redneck jokes again. I'd love to see what sort of comedian he could've been in some other time and place.

Attn all Republicans reading the talking points: You don't get to claim that single payer means "a bureaucrat decides on your care" as an argument against. EVERY SINGLE PERSON with health insurance ALREADY HAS BUREAUCRATS DECIDING, and they are bureaucrats who make more money when they deny your care. You are lying and you know it.

EXACTLY, Dave! They're just insurance bureaucrats rather than government bureaucrats. I just wish more people could HEAR this and understand it!

For my Fantasy WSOP, I really really really need Chau Giang to do well. If he wins the bracelet, I'm rocking it hard. If he came in 1st and Erik Seidel and Huck Seed came in 2nd and 3rd then I'm in as good as shape as possible. I'll easily be top 100 if that happens, and I might do it anyway even if they go 6,7,8.
The people at my work with the blue tooth headsets for their office extensions have taken to having their meetings on the back porch. I would too if I had one and did phone meetings. Luckily my job doesn't have many meetings lately.

This one hits close to home. Back in 1997-1998 when I worked for Intel, I programmed a script to send text pages to my beeper 20 minutes into meetings I wanted out of so I could leave to "take this call."

Mark Sanford gets even scummier when he tries to justify and back-pedal on his adultery by the depth of love he has with his mistress. Exactly how much did you care about the emotional connection between Clinton and Lewinsky? It has gone around, now it comes around.
My fav part is when he apologized to his sons...I am sure he had them in mind when he was "Hiking the Appalachian"

As a fun drinking game in any Sanford appearance now, take a drink when he says "dear friend" and chug when he says "dear dear friend."
