Feeding the Frenzy

by Bryan Strawser · Aug 2, 2003

I’ve been reading alot about remote controlled helicopters over the past few days. I have come to the conclusion that I’d really like to have one.. but damn these things are expensive.

I did find a local man in New Hampshire who has a very nice one for sale at a reasonable cost – but still needs a radio and receiver, which is another few hundred dollars. Hmmm…

Suzy Whaley at the Greater Hartford Open

by Bryan Strawser · Jul 26, 2003

Saw Suzy play yesterday when I was out at River Highlands volunteering for the Real Job and taking in some golf and beer. She had quite the crowd following her around. Was neat to get to see her play.

Whaley Misses Cut, but Makes Most of Her Big Moment

CROMWELL, Conn., July 25 ó For Suzy Whaley, as with Annika Sorenstam earlier this year, things became harder on the second day of a PGA Tour event. After a five-over-par 75 on Thursday that was better than scores posted by 13 players, Whaley posted a 78 today in the second round of the Greater Hartford Open. That put her at 13-over-par 153, far above the cutoff number of even-par 140.

But it did not seem to matter to the effervescent Whaley, 36, a teaching professional from nearby Farmington. A gallery that included her husband, two daughters and parents cheered Whaley from her opening shot. She reciprocated with a beaming smile and waves to the crowd.

“I wish I could explain to you how it feels to have that many people cheering for you all day long for two days straight,” Whaley said. “It’s the most wonderful feeling in the world, and it keeps you going.”

Dooce: Free Refills on Breadsticks!

by Bryan Strawser · Jul 23, 2003

Dooce so totally makes me laugh until I can’t handle it anymore.

There was a relatively brilliant moment in ABC’s last installment of “The Bachelor” when the bachelor, Andrew Firestone, and a contestant named Amber were sitting at a romantically lit dinner table searching painfully for something to talk about. It seemed… [dooce]

A Case of the Mondays

by Bryan Strawser · Jul 21, 2003

For some reason, it seems that I have one today.

Had difficulty going to sleep last night for absolutely no apparant reason. Woke up 2-3 times as well. The cat was the cause of at least one of those times. She purrs really loud at night.

This morning I felt sluggish and a bit non-responsive, which is rather unusual for me since switching to my current Diet earlier this year.

The drive in was one hour, fifteen minutes, about on pace. But we came to a complete stop in the middle of Route 24, which certainly isn’t normal at all.

Work was good, intense, but still felt like I was chasing myself most of the day. Yet, I got alot done. Very strange.

Anyways, time to head home (this is being posted in queue mode) and do some work there from my kitchen table.

Quite the fascinating link between supply chain technology and loss prevention technology. Great comments at Slashdot as well.

Beat Back The Bush Attack!

by Bryan Strawser · Jul 20, 2003

And that would be about as effective as the anti-war protests earlier this year. You go for it.
