Happy Thanksgiving Everyone!!!
Since Lauren and I are unable to get back East for the turkey day festivities and we were graciously invited to a few people’s places out here in Tucson, we are going over to one of my coworker’s places to celebrate and get our yearly turkey fix. I hope everyone has a Happy and save Holliday and the best of luck fending off all other shoppers in tomorrow’s Black Friday Armageddon.
Lauren and I took an extended weekend trip out to San Diego to visit out friend (and my fraternity brother) Brandon last weekend. Neither of us had ever been there before, so it was a great opportunity for her to visit California for the first time as well as visit one of our friends.
According to The Business Opportunites Weblog, my site is currently worth:
My blog is worth $0.00.
How much is your blog worth?
Eh, so I shouldn’t quit my day job… oh well… not like I’m going to sell it even if it was worth a few million dollars.
I finally posted the pictures from last weekend’s trip to the Titan Missile Museum.
YESNet, a group for young members of my company’s engineering and science staff, organized the trip for any who wanted to go see the museum. It was so popular that they had to open up a second tour just for us to prevent it from getting too tightly packed in the complex.
The tour was an amazing look at the only remaining silo of the fifty four Titan II silos that once surrounded Wichita, Little Rock, and Tucson. Crews consisted of four Air Force soldiers (two officers and two enlisted technicians) that were underground and sealed off for twenty four hours at a time. They ate, slept, and trained together for that entire time and were usually expected to be on site between 4 and 8 times a month.
It’s definitely an eye-opening look at what we, as a country, did during the Cold War to try to prevent an actual war from breaking out by making sure that, should there be a war, the country that attacked would be destroyed.

Well, Lauren and I decided it was about time we share our apartment with two little bundles of fur, so we adopted two baby kittens yesterday. The white one with dirty ear tips, tail, and front paws is a female named Sophie. The tigery one with white belly and paws is a male named Miles. They are brother and sister and are currently 9 weeks old. Click on the image below to see more pictures of them.
Update 10/16/05… they are just too damn cute… look at them sleeping…
