First Summer Barbeque

Posted in Uncategorized at 9:12 am by admin

We had a great BBQ yesterday. I spent most it outside cooking up a storm, but the moments I stole away to greet the guests assured me that everyone was having a good time. I would estimate that we had 20-30 people and I hope that the next couple are equally well attended.

I took many pictures of the guests and delicious eatin’s which I promise to post as soon as I can. I would have put them up yesterday but it was pretty much non-stop action from sunup to sundown.

Yummy!

Gone Fishing

Posted in Uncategorized at 1:21 pm by admin

I work in a lab. We store our cell stocks in a Liquid Nitrogen Cabinet a big drum with a hose connected to a tank that is around -180 degrees. Some of the tubes of cells fell out of their respective boxes and began to float around in the nitrogen. This wouldn’t be a big deal but we can’t see anything because of the fog (same sort of thing as when you put water over dry ice).

Yesterday, we rigged the following contraption to go “fishing” for our lost cells and it was a glorious success.

The Future

Posted in Musings, News at 12:06 pm by admin

I had a plan for this blog to focus on the things that make up who I am. My faith, family and friends, career and hobbies but I have been experiencing terrible writers block. The block where I cannot find the time to write and when I do it becomes very fatiguing. Being still inexperienced with writing for the anonymous masses, I have struggled with this since getting this site up. After much meditation, it dawned on me…

its not that big of a deal.

The new game plan is to have regular updates with  less focused, more personal entries. If I have something big to announce I will make it a separate page with a short synopsis in the main blog feed.

I already feel a great weight lifted off my shoulders.
