I don't know how I get myself into these situations, but I seem to have really got to learn to say no occasionally.  Of course, where would the fun be in doing that?

• I am currently working to finish up a couple of minor things from idea exchange before Sunday.  Hopefully, once I get this done, Bruce can go live shortly afterwards.
• I am busy trying to get some people together to plan a 20th reunion for my high school class.  I have a meeting setup for Sept 22 at the Greene Turtle in Columbia to kick off the planning.  I have also setup a site on Blogger (www.parkdaleclassof88.com) to put out news that everyone can read without paying for it.  Hopefully, I can get a couple of people to help me add content to the site.
• I have the RHS Boosters spaghetti dinner on Sept 28 to plan and execute.  I'm going to kill Mary when I see her next!!!
• I have volunteered to help out with my church's website.  The site is built on Joomla and the guy running it doesn't know too much about CSS and JavaScript.  Hopefully, I can do some simple things to make it look nice and work better.  I am thinking of incorporating either the Google web development widgets or JQuery 1.2 into the site.  I will definitely be switching them over to Google Calendar for their event planning.  I can't believe they actually have it in an embedded PDF file.
• Chris Miller and I have been cooking up some bits of trouble that should be fun to see what comes of them.  More on that in the future.  Of course, it will be nearer in the future if I can actually get access to the database to do some work!!!!  I will be using Domino 8 Designer to do the work, so I should get some real experience with the wee beastie.
• I submitted one abstract for LS 2008 and am thinking about trying to put another one together before tomorrow's extended deadline passes.
• Oh, and I have a day job that's been keeping me awfully busy.  Spent most of today wrestling with MS Project 2003 via LS COM objects.  Can you believe that Project doesn't have a straight Save method in the COM objects?  Freaking silly.  Instead, you have to do a msproject.application.FileClose/FileCloseAll/FileExit and pass a 1 to make the file get saved.
• Do you have any co-developers that fit these scary criteria?  If so, try to get management to move them on.
• I love the last line of today's Dilbert.  "That leaves fraud, which I like to call marketing"  Priceless
• Jackson is playing soccer again, although I am just a spectator this time.  It's so much more enjoyable when you don't have to scream the entire game.  Of course, I still do.
• How sad is it that I put the wife and kids to bed tonight and headed out to the bank and to do some "emergency" grocery shopping at 10:30?  I do more shopping at Bloom after 10 than a married guy ever should.  Oh....and can you believe the price of milk?  $4.19 for a gallon of milk, regardless of the %, and we are complaining about gas prices?  Seeing as how we go through a gallon a day, that's almost $30 a week on milk.
