Happy birthday, oh very young one! I've got you beat by almost 20 years. Mmm...beer.

I use Flickr, and I'm pretty sure KnightDriver does, too.

Took me 115 hours to beat it. You've got a ways to go, lol.

Having a heat wave here in Maine, it's over 50 here today!

Beautiful pics, James, but then again, you're a good photographer.

The whole fish thing has nothing to do with religion and everything to do with economics.

Oh, that drawbridge section! I thought it was going to drive me crazy! I ended up drawing a map so I could figure out where the heck I was, where I'd been, and how to find things again. At the time I played that part of the game, there were very few walkthroughs available, and I don't think there was a map for that section yet.

That happened to me and Jason one year at Christmas. His parents gave us a DVD player and his little brother gave us his old PS1. All we had for a TV was an old one that I'd had since college that also had no AV input other than the coaxial cable jack. So no joy for a while.

Nah, I recommend just watching North Woods Law instead. Besides, if I had a reality show, the bigwigs in the capitol might realize I exist. I much prefer to fly below the radar!

I hate the cutesy ones, it's like they're trying too hard.

I love Orcas, they've always fascinated me. Andy (my boss) and I had a conversation at the time of the second trainer's death about how it shouldn't have come as a shock to anyone who knows anything about orca biology and intelligence. Orcas are highly intelligent and social, and what they did to Tilikum essentially amounted to cruel and unusual treatment. Any highly intelligent social creature who is deprived of the comfort of others of its kind goes mad. It amounts to  the equivalent of locking a child in a basement and denying it social interaction, and we all know how well those children turn out. I can't bring myself to watch Blackfish, it'll just make me too sad and angry.

When your plans of moving to WA come to fruition, you'll be in the perfect place. There are several places that run orca watches. I always wanted to go when I'd visit my mom when she lived out there, but it was always too early in the season.
