Lily’s first steps
At the grand old age of 47 weeks, 2 day, 2 hours and some 17 minutes or so (ie. at about 4.29pm, May 19, 2009) Lilyana took her first unaided steps. We’ve been waiting for her to take her first steps for a few months now, because she’s been able to pull herself up on…

The mechanics of a good arm swing
A few weeks ago, Jennifer started giving me grief about my arm swing, because at the top of the swing my hand turns completely out, meaning my palm is perpendicular to the floor. Now, I don’t know when this started, but I know it’s a result my trying to learn the more dynamic release that…

Summer League: May 14th 2009
Week three of the Summer League ’09 at Fugate’s Bowl-a-rama in Hazard, KY was a good one, if I do say so myself. My team is by far and away the best team in the league. We currently hold three of the top four averages (yes, I’m the fourth highest average), which doesn’t mean a…

Tornado warning!
Tonight at about 7.30pm EDT a storm warning came across the TV newscast. This storm warning was soon upgraded to a tornado warning. As it turns out, we were right in the path of a massive storm cell and it was coming straight for us! They showed pressure maps on the news to show the intensity…

Summer League: May 7th 2009
So tonight was the second night of Summer League 2009, here in Hazard, KY. Unfortunately, I forgot to grab the team scoresheet, so I don’t have the exact numbers of my team mates, but I can tell you that one of my team mates bowled a 759 scratch series, 783 handicap, which I suspect will…

It’s been a year already…
Midday yesterday marked the anniversary of our arrival here in KY and what an eventful year its been. I’ve been through several contracts. Some lucrative, some not so lucrative. My first child (hopefully not the last) was born. Our car has broken down a half dozen times, as well as a computer crapping out completely.

Bring on Summer League
Last night was the first night of Summer League, here in Hazard, KY. I was lucky enough to get recruited by two of the more consistent bowlers from the most recent Fall League. These guys were members from the team that came in either first or second, I forget which. They both averaged over 200…

New work possibilities
Well, in the last week things have changed a little as far as work prospects go. Last Sunday, I went bowling and for the first time in a long time, the owner, Fred, was working the counter. What’s more, Jennifer had dropped me off to go and get in the tanning bed for a little…

CSS Hacks
Recently, I read a blog posted by an old workmate in New Zealand about CSS Hacks. More specifically, it dealt with CSS rendering differences between IE7, IE6 and browsers that actually render CSS correctly (ie. Firefox, Safari, Opera and Chrome… to name a big ones).

Recent developments
Recently Jennifer and I have been really trying to step out and find a place of our own. This is a little nerve racking because we barely make enough money to cover what little financial responsibilities we have. The thought of adding another $350 a month (minimum) is a little intimidating. Having said that, we…
