I love Dire Straits – reference the title of the post. In case you don’t know exactly what I’m referring to, the song is below (I actually found a Killers version and mixed it into the original Dire Straits version – not professional work, but good enough for me):

Well Grad School is over, I’m in Italy… I guess I oughta start reclaiming this place from Snakeye’s Craft Corner back to the good ol’ Frag. But now I can easily see how school can affect a site like this. There were times I hated to even get on [...]
Parking, that is.
One of my biggest pet peeves is when people drive around forever to find a closer spot or when they stalk you to your car. It’d probably do us lazy Americans some good to park at the back of the lot and use our God-given feet for [...]
It’s been a while since the last post… it’s one of those things where you can have a lot to write about, but you put it off so much that when it comes down to it, there’s really not much to say. Vacations, traveling, Grad School (bleh – but [...]
Holy bejeezuz! Tonight I saw the coolest lightening storm I’ve ever seen hovering right in our backyard. It’s been 100°F plus high humidity the past couple of days which has given way to some good house-shaking thunder boomers. This one takes the cake though.

I’ve been toying with searching for some part time work once I [...]
These past two years have been a roller coaster of emotions for Trav and I. From constant deployments and saying goodbye to saying hello to our little one. At times, I’ve let the negatives get the better of me. The one thing I have really been trying to work on in [...]
Dead at 66. Cancer. That sucks. I was shocked when I heard about it. I will sorely miss the stories his mind created. I’ve found no other author that can engross me has he did. Almost all of his books appealed to my scientific [...]
These pictures explains why I would trade Cleveland in March for the biting gnats and cockroaches of Savannah anyday.
Thanks mom & dad for the pictures… I’ll come visit in June.
