I have been on a diet for the last several weeks which, so far, is going pretty well.
My company offers the employees free snacks in the form of unlimited chips, cookies and sodas.
This recent photo from my new photographer friend Mark Austin hits me where I live. I am doing well to resist the lure of the tasty snack treat without a scale in the break room….for now.
On a related note
Check out this recent news story from local ABC affiliate Channel 13:
U-Haul chase ends in Brays Bayou
Anyone familiar with my band, The Flying Fish Sailors, has likely heard the song Greg wrote called Haul U-Haul Haul which is a spoof of a sailor’s hauling shanty and is about moving domiciles using a dilapidated U-Haul truck.
The similarities between the song and the news story are eerie…
So an officer came in a great big cruiser
The aquarium tipped and we started to lose her
Then I saw me a sight that made me shiver
As the truck dove nose first into the river
When I got to shore I was damn near drowned
As I watched that truck floating right out of town
So I sat in jail “˜til the very next day Sir
With the mileage fee just a’tickin’ away Sir
But from all this pain one thing I’ve learned Sir
Well the next time I move I’ll just buy new furniture
For those unfamiliar with the song I have added it to this post for your listening enjoyment.

One of the first things we did when we bought this house many years ago was have some new landscaping done. Part of that landscaping was three, small Bottlebrush Trees. Over the years they’ve grown and now extend past the rooftop of the house. Each spring they explode with blooms and the end result is like a flowering fireworks show bursting with red and green all over the front of our home.
It’s really quite beautiful.

Picked up a 24″ Westinghouse L2410NM LCD to replace my aging 20″ CRT.
I was amused to find the Wiggum For President site and then a little disappointed when I realized it was an official Fox project rather than something that had spawned spontaneously (spawntaneous?) from the melting pot of the insidious and unpredictable WWW.
Still, you gotta love the slogan “Hop On The Wiggum-Wagon”
I have owned the domain cthulhu.com since 1998 when it inexplicably became available to be registered after being one of the first Internet domains created. I’ve generally had the domain pointed at baldheretic.com or geekradio.com as I’ve been quite lazy about creating any Cthulhu specific content. There’s been the odd thing here and there, but nothing lasting or involved.
What with it being an election year I decided to throw something up and voila! Cthulhu For President now has an official site. I’m still looking for content and direction. I’ve got feelers/tentacles out to my like minded friends so we’ll see what develops. If you know any artists or writers that might want to contribute, send them my way.
Right now the site has been put up on stumbledupon.com so it’s getting a lot of hits and is in the process of going up and down, along with the other sites hosted on the server, so don’t be feel compelled to tell me you can’t reach it if you can’t reach it. I am already aware.
