Oooh that’s brisk
So our hot water heater died on Friday. Or actually what I have since learned is called the thermal couple died. We called our home warranty folks on Friday and a guy came out on Friday night. He (thought that) he had the part to do it so he got to work and it turns…

FLEM Fantasy Baseball Draft 2008
Last night we had our annual fantasy baseball draft. This league originally started out in 1989 when we were all (mostly) in 7th grade. This would be our 20th year but nobody ran the league while I was on my mission. The draft went pretty well. We used to run an online fantasy sports site…

Practice Triathlon
So with my upcoming triathlon (April 19th), I thought I’d do a practice triathlon. With not a ton of time before work, I opted for a half distance. Yes that’s right, half of the shortest triathlon out there. Got up bright and early and headed out to the Y. First up was the swim. Of…

Logic puzzles
So I’ve been doing some logic puzzles lately. It started off with a visit over to our friend Shanna’s. She had one of those Dell Logic Puzzle magazines, and so I started doing one of the puzzles in there. She let me take it home where I’m sure I violated several laws by making copies…

Saturday Problems
Wanted to recap my Saturday excursions (last Saturday – the 15th). We had decided to go up to the Y to swim as a family. Afterwards we were going to get some pizza. As part of our move (even though we haven’t really moved yet), we got on some mailing list where we’re getting all…

Annual Rubik’s cube post
In looking back at my blog, it seems like I blog about Rubik’s cube cubing about once a year, usually in this February or March time frame. In any case, I whipped out the cube today and fired up JNetCube and got a new record, both in an individual solve as well as a 10…
