Goodbye, Caramel
Emily's pet hamster, Caramel, died Thursday morning as we gave it medicine. It was 1-1/2 years old. She had been sick for about a week; unfortunately, we didn't realize she was sick until she had progressed too far. Emily has been devastated, but her friends have been great to her, supportive in so many ways.

Caramel, our first family pet, will be sorely missed.

Alex doesn't have to wear an eyepatch for five months! As you can guess, he is really excited! It's been more than three years since he started wearing the eyepatch, and during that time he's stopped twice. We're all very hopeful that it stays off this time.

Hybrid Vehicles Not Best Value According to Edmunds.com

What?!? My Prius isn't the gold standard for cheap cars? Well, I already knew that... while it is cheaper than most cars, it's the principle of the matter than counts!

Santa Rosa Beach


We are here at the beach where it rained a bunch today. Four separate showers, each with thunder, probably adding up to more than an inch. The kids have been pretty disappointed, but at least they have their cousins to play with. I spent too much time on the computer at Topcoder, practicing my algorithm skills. Boy, that site can be pretty harsh on the "30% unused code" rule. I never could figure out which code it thought was unused.

Catalog Choice - Eliminate unwanted catalogs you receive in the mail

Here's a website that will help you get rid of catalogs you aren't interested in receiving. A few minutes at the keyboard might add up to keeping a tree from being cut down.

Note: it works best when you have an actual copy of the catalog you received in the mail.

Spelling Bee

Emily represented her class in a multi-school spelling bee today. We are very proud of her! She and Sammie were very supportive of each other; having a good friend by your side goes a long way.

wsbradio.com: FairTax Webinar
While I hate the word "Webinar", here's a 1-hour introduction to the Fair Tax straight from Neal Boortz. A good educational tool for those who have the time. I'm in the process of listening to "FairTax: The Truth: Answering the Critics" on CD right now, so be sure to quiz me when you see me. :)
