I’m looking for a new job.

I’m not too proud to ask my friends for leads.

If you know of anything “out there” in the San Diego area or something in another location as long as I can virtually commute, please let me know.

More details to come.

I mostly like what I see here: the raw story.

Little bit of a slow download but worth it.

“It’s called spam because of a Monty Python sketch in which everything on the menu includes Spam. In the sketch, eggs and bacon come with Spam. Baked beans come with Spam. Even the Spam comes with Spam. And the comedy troupe sings the word “Spam” over and over again to mock the ridiculous notion of forcing Spam onto every table whether you want it or not.”

I like to be number one.

However, being known as the worst of America’s 5 worst freeways I could pass on.

Disturbing Story

Long Thought Dead, a Child Is Found Alive and Healthy
By JASON GEORGE

Published: March 3, 2004

PHILADELPHIA, March 2 — A woman who police officials said kidnapped a newborn six years ago, set fire to the mother’s house to make her believe that the baby girl had died in the blaze, and then raised the child as her own, surrendered to authorities on Tuesday.

The strangest part:

While assured that they had solved part of the mystery in the disappearance of Delimar Vera, investigators are just starting to try to unravel other questions in the case, including how Ms. Correa was able to persuade people six years ago that the child was hers.

Andre Moore, who said he was dating Ms. Correa at that time, said she appeared to be pregnant and later told him that the infant was his daughter. Mr. Moore said he learned that the girl was not his child in 1999, when he requested a paternity test.

And I loved this story as well:

Marriage: Mix and Match
By NICHOLAS D. KRISTOF

…….it seems to me that the best way to preserve the sanctity of American marriage is for us all to spend less time fretting about other people’s marriages — and more time improving our own.

It’s been a roller-coaster-couple-ah-weeks.
I think things are settling down.
I think.

You know, these rides aren’t always fun.
It would be nice to just sit down on the bench and watch other people ride for awhile.

ps….vote.

I’ve been recycling at work and throwing out lots of old papers around the office. Some of them are notes for a book including some run off sheets from other books and periodicals. Some of them are on date rape.

Most of the information I already knew. One report, however, made me pay attention when I read that 27% of the 770+ college age men and 18% of the women answered on their survey that in one scenario or another, forcing the woman to have sex against her will was acceptable. Some of the scenarios varied who paid for the date and where they went and where they ended up but the fact that there are some people out there that think that in any, ANY situation, date rape is acceptable, surprised me. I know it happens all the time. I just figured that the people involved knew it was wrong.

I love to eat cottage cheese.

My stomach does not agree.

I had some time this weekend so there are 5 new albums up.

Coronado in the Rain

33 birthday party

Straws and Bazooka gum

misc stuff including our amazing cat Bas climbing the ladder, this picture of my son, Anthony watching laundry tv, and this sign.

This is my favorite album today. Coaster Ride is best viewed by using the slideshow feature and setting it to 5 second delay. You can actually take the ride with me! : )

Also in misc: Utah Trip and Joe and Bas: the usual position.

I added Denise to my sidebar today. And then she has the nerve to argue with me….

There is so much going on but nothing to tell yet.

in a nutshell:
