        11/22/05
        Yesterday Lindsay, Ben, Derek, and I went to Gozo and played around. We headed down to Ramla Bay and tossed the frisbee around for a while. For a change, there were only about 8 people there, but all of them were watching the frisbee action pretty intently. I would assume that most of these folks --

      • Ham-Handed Customs Agents
        11/22/05
        We asked Derek to bring us a Ham from Bob's Valley Market. These hams are truly wondrous things, and we've started a little tradition of having one for Thanksgiving or Christmas every year. They ship all over the U.S., so we had Derek order one shipped to him in Colorado, where he kept it

      • Lindsay!
        11/19/05
        Lindsay and Ben came in last night, and I'm totally psyched to have them here. They left Bishop Wednesday and got in last night, if that tells you what kind of a trip it must have been. They both seemed pretty chipper and gung-ho when they got off the plane, though. They're both pretty exc

      • My Nationally Certified Mom
        11/19/05
        ...actually, she's nationally certified as a teacher, not as a mom. She is a great mom, but I don't think they have any national certification for that.

        She just found out yesterday that she (and all of her colleague co-applicants) passed the national boards. This is a hug

      • I Wish You...Huh?
        11/18/05
        Not long after we got here, I noticed a bumper sticker on a lot of cars and busses -- especially the busses with the really rude drivers. It says:

        I wish you twice you wish to me.

        Uhh, okay, I guess I get the point of the saying, even if it's missing a word or two. A

      • The Marine Ball
        11/13/05
        First, a little background: Marine Security Guards (MSGs) are Marines who work at Embassies around the world, protecting classified information and personnel. Embassy workers tend to think of them as being outside the chain of command, but they all say they're working for the State Department,

      • Carrie's Birthday
        11/12/05
        Yesterday was Carrie's birthday. We hung out at home for most of the day, then got up some energy to go eat. When Sarah and friends were here earlier, they went driving with Carrie and found a neat looking little restaurant on Mistra Bay. Carrie and I went back there last night and found the re

        It's been one thing after another.

        First there were a ton of security holes discovered in the software we're running on our server, so I started upgrading that. Then the "upgraded" version didn't work correctly, so I had to fuss with that. Halfway through th

      • A Guest Appearance
        11/01/05
        As Chris is reluctanct to speak on my behalf, I am here (briefly-because I hate weblogs) to explain what has happened in the last two monts. I plan on writing a bulk email once things have settled down a bit, but that could be a couple of weeks.

      • Halloween Party #2
        11/01/05
        Last night's party was cool, too. It was at the Ambassador's residence, and it was for the kids. Bunches of them showed up, and they had plenty of fun events. The best was probably the haunted house run by the Marines. I guess the idea is that Marines know how to scare girls. Uhh, I mean,
