It looks like I wont be flying in until tomorrow. My flight leaves out of Rochester tomorrow afternoon, goes through Philidelphia and arrives in DFW at 8:12pm.
So that our plans to go pick blueberries in Tyler with my nieces are off and our dinner plans at 6pm that evening are shot. Fun, huh?

My 11:52am departure time with USAirways has been delayed to 2:42pm due to storms near DCA (Regan National Airport, Washington, DC). Of course, this means I'll totally miss my 1:35pm flight out of DCA (which would have gotten me home at 4:43pm).
Right now, it looks like all other options out of Syracuse on any [...]

Despite my best efforts, I never did see any beavers last night. To be honest, I've only ever seen a beaver in the wild once, so I'm not entirely certain what their habits are, or where the best places to wait out to see them are. I saw a few structures that might [...]

Back in March, Jess and I went hiking in Green Lakes State Park near Syracuse. I couldn't help but notice all of the fallen cottonwoods boarding the lake, the tell tale signs of beaver incisors indicating their demise. While we never actually saw any of the living creatures, I knew that heading there at the [...]

I don't know what I did to deserve it, but I'm usually plagued with pretty terrible neighbors on airplanes.
Like the guy who took up at least a seat and a half forcing me to spill out into the aisle therefore getting jabbed in the elbows by every passing person and beverage cart. And then [...]

Exploration and a thirst for knowledge, coupled with general openness is what makes me who I am. While my interest has great range, all aspects of humanity are of a particular interest. This includes, but is certainly not limited to, our sensuality. I have an intense interest in the primal aspects of what make us [...]

I know webcams are selling quite strong these days. The sheer variety of them and their inclusion in the screen of almost every laptop in production today is evidence of this. But, what are people using them for?
Does anyone still operate the traditional 30-second, continuously refreshing, whether I'm home or not webcam any more? I don't [...]

It's supposed to rain all day tomorrow. I had scheduled a photo session in the rain for Saturday evening with a great subject, but she forgot that she already had made plans for the day and had to cancel.
Anyone else want to give it a shot? We'll meet near-ish to Denton around 6:30pm Saturday evening. The session will [...]

An interesting set of questions for a Friday, stolen from Jet.
 
If you had the power, what would your ideal weather be today?
My ideal weather for today is the same as it would be on any day. I like temperatures between 65 and 75 with a cool breeze. I like the sky to be partially cloudy. [...]

Erica does it on Thursdays. But now it's Friday and I've decided I should do it too. I'm not going to let that stop me. So, without further delay, here is T^4 (Three Terrific Things Thursday Friday).
* I am very fortunate to have a wife that stands by me and our marriage even during the [...]
