Busy Busy

By jesser | Published: 2:07 pm

It's already 1 PM here, and I am just now getting around to this. This is absolutely indicative of the sort of week I've got lined up. Tonight is my only free evening, and it is certainly not a free day … with every portion of it being lined up with meetings, etc. Last night, [...]

Memorial Day Weekend

By jesser | Published: 8:37 am

Well, we had a very nice memorial day weekend. Friday at Elitch Gardens was good fun. I rode all of the roller coasters … and only liked two of the, the old-fashioned wooden roller coaster (with no upside down) and the flying coaster which was slower and less dramatic in general. The day was a [...]

Six Flags!

By jesser | Published: 8:12 am

Matt earned some comp time last week when he stayed over the weekend in California, so we're kicking off memorial day weekend by taking half days and going with our siblings (the ones who live in tow, that is) to Six Flags Elitch Gardens. Elitch Gardens have been a CO institution since … like forever. [...]

By jesser | Published: 12:05 pm

In the Dog House

By jesser | Published: 8:15 am

Isn't this a cute bag? Kelly and I certainly thought so. We ordered it for my mom for her birthday a week or so ago. It arrived last week and it was sitting on my coffee table, patiently waiting to be wrapped. Loki apparently liked this bag very much as well. He thought it looked [...]

Brain Age

By jesser | Published: 8:05 am

I'd been hearing loads about this game, Brain Age that they made for the Nintendo DS. It's sort of like a personal trainer for your mind.

I'm in a bit of a strop this morning for a couple of reasons. Loki has been wearing my nerves a bit thin with his antics. The day before yesterday, he took two boxes of special K bars off the kitchen counter and ate them all up. He left the box cardboard and wrappers for [...]
