The Life Of Ryan May 24th-30th

 

I started a book about Flash CS4.  There are a series of projects in the book which lead to one large project.  Flash is an intimidating undertaking.

Dave Letterman made me laugh out loud this week.  That was the first time in a long time – possibly ever.  It was the same night as Leno’s final show.  I didn’t watch.

I finished “Taking Up Serpents” by David Kimbrough.  An excellent oral history of snake-handling in eastern Kentucky.

Apparently, I am quite special!  In the Manchester Enterprise, I was mentioned as a featured guest at the Reading Celebration, last week, alongside some pretty important characters.

Being mentioned in the same paragraph with such venerable characters is overwhelming.

I fixed baby-back ribs in the oven for the first time.  My wife really enjoyed them, but hasn’t been very hungry since.  They must have tasted good that night, but once the taste stayed in her mouth into the second day, she got tired of it.

I ordered an item that is a pair from Musician’s Friend.  I received one half of the pair.  After contacting customer service, I was informed that I would have to send the one I received back in order to get the two I ordered.  That – doing things the hard way, things that are unnecessary – sounds like the federal government to me.

A pair of my best friends became engaged this week.  Congratulations Chris & Tiffany!

My good friend Kenneth and I watched “Bedtime Stories” Saturday night.  No “Happy Gilmore,” but very entertaining.
