The Ramblings of a Simple Man

  • Bowling 101 – Don’t miss easy spares

    These past 3 months of league have been trying to say the least. I’ve been struggling to put games together, I’ve been struggling to find consistency with my release and I’ve been struggling to consistently shoot spares. Now, I know a good portion of the difficulties have come from the number of changes I made…

  • Ah, the first snow of the season

    Seeing as I’m originally from a slightly more temperate region of the globe, waking up to find a fresh blanket of snow on the lawn is still both very strange and very exciting. I love that you go to bed seeing what would ordinarily be out your window and wake in the morning to a…

  • Home, Sweet home. Sort of.

    This last weekend has been a busy one for us. We found out on Saturday afternoon that the tenants of the house we were wanting to move in to, which incidently belongs to my mother-in-law, would be completely moved out by the end of that day, meaning we could start moving stuff in on Sunday.

  • How to destroy a game in four frames…

    Last night, we bowled in our regular Sunday League trio. Earlier that night, I had stripped and oiled the lanes, and bowled a couple of  practice games. The practice games went well. I threw something like 6 in a row in my first one, so I knew I had a good line and good ball…

  • Thanksgiving Tournament at Fugate’s

    This Thanksgiving, we held a No-Tap tournament at Fugate’s Bowl-a-rama. This comes less than a week after the passing of Fred Fugate, the owner and proprietor of the Bowling center. It was hard to really get motivated to work on the lanes, knowing that Fred wouldn’t be there and that he had buried just 4…

  • A virtualized development environment

    For quite sometime now, I’ve been developing all the projects I’ve been working on directly on my machine. This is handy for a number of reasons, the most important of those reasons being that I don’t have to be online while I’m working and I don’t have to upload to any servers.

  • Job interview update

    On Tuesday, October 6, 2009, we traveled to Lexington, KY for a couple of job interviews, including one for Bankers Life and Casualty Company. Just a week before, 24 hours after posting my resume to CareerBuilder.com, I was contacted by someone from Bankers saying they had reviewed my resume, were very impressed and invited me…

  • A stabbing in Madison County, KY

    On Thursday, October 8, 2009 at about 12.15pm EST, Stevie Christopher “Christopher” Caldwell, the eldest child of Jaime and Stevie David Caldwell was stabbed in a Home Economics class at Madison Central High School. This story has made state wide headlines for the last two days straight. At the last time of reporting, he was…

  • Latest updates: Job and home

    This month has been a rather eventful month, to say the least. Having said that, the last five or six days (Saturday, 26 September – Wednesday, 30 September) have made up the bulk of said “events.”

  • Lilyana and the Emergency Room

    Okay, before anybody gets too worked, let me explain the title a little.  For the past three days, Lily has been running a fever. However, she had maintained a steady temperature of around 101° F (38° C). At about 6pm last night, after waking from an afternoon nap, we took her temperature and discovered that…
