Last week I had quite a scare from the nurse that visits and takes care of my wound every day. She thought the second incision was infected and would need treatment by the doctor. My brother was able to get off from work and take me to see the doctor on Monday afternoon. He looked […]

Home from the Hospital
Actually I made it home on Tuesday, after 5:00pm, but just haven’t felt like posting. Today is a better day. My brother and my oldest son are coming over for a sleep over and to take care of me on Saturday since Patrice has to work tomorrow.
Patrice has been an absolute angel before and after […]
Across the English Channel Kind of
Actually more like across the pool, but who’s counting? Last night I ventured over to the pool and common area of the complex and was pleased to see that the Linksys router and the wireless card that I ordered with the laptop, an Intel PRO/Wireless 3945 802.11a/g Mini Card (54Mbps) maintained a strong signal and […]
Treading Water Now
I now have my Dell laptop in my lap on the patio. I purchased a Linksys router, Wireless - G Broadband Router with SRX400 (WRT54GX4) yesterday and spent about two hours on the phone with the tech support group last night. At 2:00am I finally got a wireless connection with the router at 54mbps, so […]
Finally Took the Plunge
OK. I made fun of my brother several posts ago calling him a gadget geek but truth be told I guess it runs in the family. I will be having surgery in May on my hip. It stems from a 15 year old injury that has decided to rear its ugly head again. I will […]
A Fish Story
After our visit to the Pope Duval Fish Management Area on Friday of last week Tyler wanted another try at catching one of the smallmouth bass congregating along the shore.
So Saturday afternoon we headed back to the last lake for him to try his luck. I let him wander down to an open area so […]
Perelman’s Pocket Cyclopedia of Cigars 2006
The book goes into detail on the brand name, shape, shape designation from manufacturer, length, ring gauge, and wrapper type. It does not give any recommendations or ratings on the brands.
I stopped by Tobacco Cove on Tuesday to pick up a few stogies to review and as I was wandering around the humidor Tom handed […]
Funny Thing Happened on the Way
I have been toying with the idea on changing the theme here at BlankMindBlog and as you know the web has a funny way of detouring you, if you let it, on many, many sideroads. I came across this web link that calculated your ranking in the global scheme of wealth.
I’m the 47,854,565 richest […]
Proud to be a Niner
Cigarjack has a post, generated from his answers, from a QuizFarm.com quiz named “Your Ultimate Sci-Fi Profile II: which sci-fi crew would you best fit in?” So I thought I’d play along and see where I fit into the sci-fi genre…
You scored as Deep Space Nine (Star Trek). You have entered the dark side […]
Extended South Park Family
Just as a true South Park dad might do, I neglected to add my two step daughters in the original Fun in South Park post. Thanks for the gentle remainder and the images, Elizabeth.
These images are from the South Park Studio website and the imagination of Elizabeth, who is currently attending FSU, and should be […]
Fun in South Park
I was up late last night surfing the net and ran across a website that enables you to create a South Park character. I have never watched South Park but I know the kids watch it a lot. So this morning we all gathered around the computer and headed to South Park Studio and made […]
