6th row baby! Thanks to Jim’s friend Isaac for getting tickets. It should be fun, in a redneck/trailer park sort of way.

Aphro 5
Happy birthday (Aphro)dite. She turns 5 today.
Courthouse Temperature
Yesterday was such a beautiful day. The photoclub met early in the morning at the Victoria Courthouse. It wasn’t the best architecture in town, but I thought it would have some interesting textures and shapes. Turns out I didn’t realy shoot any of the things I thought would be interesting. Instead I was more preoccupied with the sun and the temperature. I still managed to shoot a few pictures, but mostly I was enjoying being outside.
Still I came away with a bunch of pictures that I am proud of and that I like. Pics are here.
Playground Days
Yoshi and Digger went for a walk today, and their humans went with them. While the dogs ran through the Elk Lake fields, KaptainK, Little E, Suede and myself tried to keep up. After walking a while we stopped at the playground so Little E could have some play time of her own.
When we were done at the park we went out for lunch, then home. During the drive home Little E and I were pretty silly.
I love days like these. Trés fun.
Duke Dinner
We had KaptainK, JJ, and Digger, plus JennV and Duke over for dinner recently. Duke is Jenn’s new puppy. He’s very soft, fuzzy, furry and cute! Welcome to the pack Duke!
Revved Shivering
Last weekend Suede and I visited my mom in Nanaimo. Yoshi was pretty revved up and looking for some exercise so we took a quick trip up to Qualicum Beach to let him run around. And run he did! He had a great time romping on the beach, splashing in the water, and chasing after sticks.
The rest of us did our best to avoid the wet hound, and stay warm. It was a little windy out, and that made it a little chilly right on the water. Yoshi kept playing until he was shivering he was so cold.
After getting back to the car, we towelled down Yoshi, packed him in the car, and headed back to my moms. Yoshi was pretty knackered after that run.
Block Efficient
Tonight I implemented a new block of functionality for muddylaces. Much like coreman.com I now have a block that will provide a link to previous years posts for this day. This will only be shown when there is a post to be displayed. It was a fun little exercise. My implementation isn’t the most efficient, but it works for now. If I had a lot more traffic, I would have to change things a little.
Like Nuisance
I, like many people I know, have fallen to illness. Yeuck. I feel gross, tired, and congested (a little). It is never fun being sick. Luckily I have Yoshi to keep me company. Too bad he is usually a nuisance. Crazy dog. Blech.
And I have to go out tonight too.
Homegrown Navigation
I put back my half-broken homegrown theme. The fancy one just wasn’t me. That and I could not get used to the navigation being on the right. I much prefer it on the right.
Friday Bounces
Just got back from Friday night volleyball. I hadn’t played in a quite a while before joining this league, so I had forgotten just how much fun it really is. We play in a rec league so most of the people are just there to have some fun. Of course there are a few different pools, and each week teams move up and down between pools, so sometime we are matched against a team that really doesn’t want to be playing at our level. Oh well, c’est la vie, and thats the wal the volleyball bounces.
Still tonight was good. In our first match I got a couple of really good blocks which always makes one feel good. I guess overall I played pretty well. Beside the blocks I had a couple good spikes/hits, and more than a few good digs.
One that stands out was really quite funny. There was one hit by our team, but the ball went the wrong direction. I took off after it, managed to get a hit in and sent the ball in towards the net. As I was trying to slow down, I started to lose my balance. Problem was I was running out of gym to run in. I managed to make it through a doorway, stopped, then ran back into the gym and rejoined the game still in progress. 🙂 Good times.
Time for a shower, then time for bed.
