French Letters Book One: Virginia's War

Image
My uncle has written a book, and it's pretty good. You should pick up your copy today . Virginias War is the poignant novel of a small Texas town where, during WWII in 1944, there was a bit of tarnish on the patriotic bunting and not everyone was eager to join up for the fight. It was there one morning that an unexpectedly pregnant Virginia Sullivan read in her father s newspaper that she supposedly had eloped with a soldier. One who had already gone off to the war, an awkward thing, since he didn't know anything about it. This first book of the French Letters trilogy is the tale of one woman s home front experience folded into the story of a town that is happy for its war bride because of her family s generous dabbling in the black market of war rations, until the Government pokes into their affairs.

All About Bentley

I finally got my old domain back, allaboutbentley.com I let it expire a few years ago and when I went to renew it someone had bought it. They wanted $600 for it. I just waited it out. Morons.

The Streak Has Ended...At Two

I just realized that with the change of presidents, my streak of seeing the current president in person has come to an end. It wasn't much of a streak, I saw George Bush Sr and Bill Clinton, but never W. Senior was campaigning and I saw him at OC . And once I was in DC and standing outside the back fence of the white house and saw Clinton jogging. But I never had the opportunity to see George Jr. So, the streak ends at two.

A history of horrible birthdays

Over the course of the last few days, my birthday has reminded me of the difference between my life now and my life one year ago. It's not a monumental difference, but last year on my birthday I found out I was going to be outsourced. Not great news, especially on what is supposed to be a happy day. That triggered a memory of another bad birthday. I was around 12 or so, and I was sick on my birthday. My mom made me a chocolate cake, but after blowing out the candles I declined a piece because I didn't feel up to eating anything. That continued for a few days. Finally I was feeling better and was looking forward to eating some cake. What's that you say...it's all gone? Ah man. OK two bad birthdays doesn't really qualify for "A history of horrible birthdays" but that title was catchy.

Welcome to power Mr. Obama

So you are the 44th president of The United States. A country built on freedom of religion and sound biblical doctrine. You are now considered the most powerful man in the world. Please don't screw up our country.

I tomatoed my router

Do you have a high-speed internet router....one of those wonderful devices that lets you access the internet at home from your laptop without being tied down to the desk? We do. It's a Linksys wrt54g. I got it for my birthday about 3 or 4 years ago, and have loved the thing. Ironically on my birthday this year it decided it didn't want to work anymore. You could see its configuration web page, it would give you an IP address...but it wouldn't hook you up to the internet. For some reason it wasn't getting an IP from the cable modem. I figured I could flash the firmware with the same or even a newer version and it would return to normal. Didn't work. Then I thought I would try an older version. Well that pretty much killed it. When you went to the configuration page, it was there, but it was all messed up. And that killed the link to the page that let you flash the firmware. But, being the super genius that I am, I looked through my internet history,found what the fla...

I'm a man! I'm 40!

What I got for Christmas - 2008

I was sitting here just now trying to remember all of the nice things I got for Christmas this year and so I thought I would write them down.

I'm a Begger

Hey does anyone want to buy me an iPhone and pay for the data plan? Surely there's some generous person out there that wants to bring some joy into the life of someone less privileged than themselves. If that person is you I can help you fill the void in your life with a little cheerful giving. Giving being on your side of course, and the receiving on mine. So just run down to your nearest Apple store and grab one up, prepay for oh...10 years of service or so(honestly I dont think you can do that but it helps the story) and then send the phone my way. Your payment will be a lifetime of glad tidings.

Let It Snow

I know it's a little flaky having it snow on the web page, but it'S NO joke. Do you get my drift? What, you don't like these jokes? Are you giving me the cold shoulder? I thought these were funny, I figured they would sleigh you. Well you can just take a chill pill. Give me a break here, I'm working alone. Snow man is an island. You should congradulate me for my effort. "Freeze a jolly good fellow.." Ok that's enough.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Happy Thanksgiving everyone. Now, lets eat!

It's That Time of Year!

In Your Face 10

We were watching the new show "Twins, Twins and Sextuplets" the other night. It's about a family that has 10 kids. Zane came in the room and asked about it: Zane: "What's this show?" Me: "It's some show about a family with 10 kids" Zane: "Whats that other show with all the kids that aren't twins? How many do they have?" Me: "That one about the Duggars ? They have 17 kids." Zane: (Spins around and yells at the family on TV with 10 kids) "IN YOUR FACE, 10!" (oh by the way, you might be wondering about the time I posted this... its right down here \/...yeah i can't sleep)
