The Science Channel is rebroadcasting the entire Cosmos series by Carl Sagan.  Cosmos originally aired in 1980 yet is still amazing in its relevance.  As a kid growing up in a static Nile like world dictated by annual floods, droughts and religious explanations for everything, Cosmos was eye opening and brain melting.  Carl Sagan changed my [...]

The Vet called today.
Sylvia has cancer.
Specifically, it is called hemangio pericytoma, which is somewhat good since this type of cancer doesn't normally spread too far from the tumor. Her tumor is on the right leg, so the most reasonable option is amputation. I had a 3-legged cocker spaniel as a kid, and now [...]

Anna and I traveled to Sumter this afternoon to see Dr. Whaley, Judie, Samantha, Desirae and the Colonial Family Practice Group. Everyone there is salt of the earth and incredibly nice/helpful/friendly. We wouldn't have made it through our Columbia experience without them.
The first reason we went was confirmed soon by a quick X [...]

From Anna's blog today…

Michael is moving out now on a rainy Sunday morning, headed for his new house in Florence after staying a few weeks at Teresa's house in Lexington. After four years of rooming together, this [...]

At a space conference in Los Angeles today, The Planetary Society (co-founded by my hero Carl Sagan) announced news from the “Save Our Science (SOS)” campaign protesting planned (and highly insane/stupid/shortsighted/ignorant) budget cuts for NASA’s space science program:
“Budget action is needed now,” said Planetary Society Vice-President Bill Nye, “The longer you drive in the [...]

Sylvia has surgery tomorrow (Thursday) to determine exactly what is inside of the large tumor on her right leg. We're not sure what to expect or what the surgery will expose, but we're hoping it will be not be terminal. Sylvia has been a wonderful and needed addition to our family since she [...]

You've probably heard of GCal by now since almost everyone has and uses a GMail account.  But, if you're not using 30boxes, you're a sucker.  30boxes really is a great online app that is easy to use (Anna uses it) and incredibly flexible.  You can even sync it up to your GMail if you're so [...]

After playing with Typepad and Wordpress over the last few weeks, I've decided to go back to Wordpress for a number of reasons.  Price, reliability, basic functions, ease of use, appearance, backend structure and so on.  Nonetheless, thanks for visiting!
