Skippped a day

Me trying to go to sleep.

Me trying to stay awake

I didn’t post yesterday, I was debilitated by my insomnia…. Two nights ago, I went to bed at 9:30, and woke up at around 1:30. I got up and was up most of the night, which was fine, because I wasn’t tired. Night before last was different. I went to bed at 10, woke at 3 and got up. But I was tired, and felt  exhaustificated. SO I went back to bed and was wide awake. So I got up… Boom. Instantly exhausted.
Lay down, not sleepy, get up, sleepy. You get the idea. 
The dawn was strange yesterday because there was no growing glow from the east. Just an increasing grayness over the whole sky. There was a huge catfight downstairs, I went down to check it out and when I came back upstairs, I could tell it was getting light. Then when it got pretty light, I laid down for the zillionth time, and I think I passed out unconscious, because The Wife went to work without saying goodbye.

Last night I went to bed at 11:30, and seemed to sleep all right.

Anyway, that’s my excuse for not posting yesterday. I like to post every day except only maybe on weekends.

Above and below are pictures of a bird from over a week ago. If you click on them to see the large view, you can see his amazing color. Dazzling.
Tomorrow is Friday. If you stay up past midnight tonight, it will be Friday, and it will be night. Friday Night. Then, after work Friday, it will get dark again and will still be Friday. You can get two Friday nights if you play your cards right!

Smithsonian, Metro and Roses

One day we took the Metro down to DC for an afternoon and went to the Smithsonian:

Underground at a DC Metro Station
A Bat Skeleton
Sea Turtle

A rose at my Moms. It was as big as a large grapefruit
Another big rose
I am not liking this new blogger interface. Maybe it’s Google Chrome…Cant cut and paste pictures. Supposedly you can drag them but that doesn’t seem to work. I spend most of my time in HTML view and every post takes a long time and is very difficult to post.. I would like to add more pics, but I fear the hassle and just don’t have time to mess with it anymore.

I’m Back!

We got back from the US Saturday. Glad to be home. For the next few days, I’ll be posting pics from the trip.

Above is a panorama view of the back of our house in Chesapeake Va. 
I thought it was in surprisingly good shape.
. Above is a panorama view of the front. And my Moms space ship car.
Above is The Wife and my Mom at the Mall.

AND above is a Crab from our vacation at Rum Point. You gotta love crabs. They are so tough. This guy is missing two legs on his left side and he is still ready to do battle with giant me. 

Last Day in VA

Today is our last day in Virginia, tomorrow morning we head back up to DC. I haven’t seen everybody I wanted to see, I haven’t even taken many pictures, but the wife has. I am sure eventually she will post abunch.
Today down here in Chesapeake, it’s supposed to rain. On the TV you can see the rain on radar coming toward us.
Below are some pictures:
Last Night we had dinner with my friend and co worker Steve, and his wife Chris.
This is a picture of our old house in Silver Spring Maryland.

USA MonDAY

The way I wrote the title, it rhymes.
Today we’re heading down to the Virginia Beach area for a couple of days. Yesterday we hung out with the Mom and Jim, her BF, went shopping, and last night went out with a whole bunch of cousins.
This is going to be a quick n dirty post. I have L.O.C.I.B.D. and need to get working on that…

In The USA

I’m in the US at my Moms house. It’s the first time I’ve ever been here. We had a good trip yesterday.  Nonstop from Grand Cayman to Washington DC.
I posted a post from the airport yesterday but it got lost. It’s not in my drafts. No real loss there though.
That’s it! So far I’ve been able to get internet access without a problem.

Friday Post

Below are a couple of cartoons that describe how myself and blog topics interact in this universe. There is a simple formulae. When I am out and about, far from the computer, topics are abundant, when I sit down in front of the machine, they vanish.
Both pics above are from I F*cking Love Science, on Facebook.

Tonight we are going to see The Avengers movie, it’s opening night. We’ve seen all the startups so I think it should be good. We’re going early to get seats, although we already have tickets. 

Tomorrow, we are going to the USA for a week. As you know, internet access is very difficult to come by in the US, but I shall try to post posts as usual.

Anyway, I can’t think of much more this morning. I hope you have a good weekend!

Third Honeymoon Photos

Below are pictures from our third anniversary Honeymoon. We went to Rum Point for a couple of days (and nights).

These red vines were very red.
Purple Anemones, when you get too close, they disappear fast!

Fish peeking at me from the safety of soft coral.

We had a great time! It was good for a couple of days to get away and play tourist.

Day after tomorrow, we head up to the USA to see my Mom, sister, fanily and friends!

Boring Assed Flower Pictures

Last week, one of our cactus’s grew a flower. It took about two days for this giant stalk to grow our of the cactus, then in one night, the flower opened, and the next morning was wilted and dead. You could look at the flower, and then look again 15 minutes later and see a difference in growth. It was way cool.

This afternoon The Wife and I are taking off for a little third anniversary honeymoon vacation. Two days at an undisclosed location. However, I will be checking this blog, and if you DON’T leave a comment, I’ll know about it!
