Hi folks. I'm heading down to St. Thomas tomorrow for a little working vacation, and hopefully I'll have a little time down there to spend here. I've been working for my dad, writing a sort of truncated brief trying to defend his security deposit policy. He deducts a routine cleaning fee, which I'm not entirely sure is legal, but so far I haven't been able...

Okay, new post. As I told Emotedcreations and Margot, the death I mentioned in the last post doesn't effect me so much personally, since I didn't know the guy all that well, but it offends my sense of justice, and I feel really bad for the guys family, who just got done dealing with one tragedy when another hit. Also, like I said, it makes...

Thanks. For black and white, "good use of light" isn't a good idea, it's the law.

The Future Ms. Ascanius had a roommate when she was in rehab (of the physical therapy kind, not the drug kind) after the accident that left her a paraplegic. A truly lovely 40-something New Jersey Italian lady who suffered a high level spinal chord injury falling from a horse. We got to know this woman and her husband, Eddie, pretty well in the months we...

Frederick II of Prussia
AKA: Frederick IV of Brandenburg, Frederick the Great, and "Old Frtiz."
BE was joking around saying I should change my pic, because I have King of Prussia as my location (I thought it was a silly named city and I like it. There's not a whole lot more to it than that.)
As far as you blog goes: I'm sorry to hear the news. Whenever I feel down and out I always try to remind myself that I have my health, my family, and my friends. There's not a whole lot more you can ask for (as I write this I'm sitting her watching John Q).

Yeah, I know what you mean. A family friend of mine's parents died when he was a teenager. Within two years, two of his sisters died, then he moved to the US to be with his last living family member also a sister who died a year after he arrived. His first born son died when he was 16 (every single one of them in car accidents mind you). Just I mean, what the hell, you know. And he's one of the nicest people I've ever met.
I fell asleep with an adiobook version of Dune playing last night and I dreamed all morning of ambushing Harkonnen from a mountainside. It was pretty fantastic.

The summer after I graduated from college I traveled around a bit working a little and traveling a little. Well, friends, Arkansas was about the worst place I ever saw but I ran out of money and gas there and so I found a job working on a farm there. I worked for a few long, hard, hot days, but I didn't like the farmer,...

After I finish my Rolling Rock...
I dated a red-headed girl for a couple of months in college. We didn't talk much. We didn't have a whole lot in common. Really just a love of red meat, horror movies and a vague mutual attraction. So, she'd come over, we'd grill up some steal, watch a movie and make out. It was fun for a while, but it certainly wasn't going anywhere,...

Oh, I've left New England, silly billy. Been to NY (both city and upstate) and travel as far as Florida. But I've never gone further west than that.

Sorry, can't help. He seems to have decided to be quiet; hopefully not for long.

I just got home last night. What a nice trip. It was great to see you. I'll probably update the olde blog tonight sometime.
How about you ? Are you still in the glorious tropics or have you made it home yet ?
