What Lies Above...

House Finches have taken up residence above our front porch light! Here's a shot of that nest. We've also discovered a Wren's next in the garage. It's like our house is a bird condo building!!!

What lies beneath...

Our deck! Robins have built a nest and moved in the family. We also have a house sparrow with a brood above our front porch light!

Evening at LaGra

We were able to head out of work early today for 6 games of bowling practice! Bucket o beer plus pizza ended up being our "late lunch"!

Then after a quick run home to take care of Baby dog and freshen up we headed to Dogtown STL to catch a Javier Mendoza show at LaGra. Yes folks this is our FIRST Javi show of 2010! We are in jeopardy of losing our groupie status!!!

Awesome show and great way to be reminded of why we love Javier's music so much!

Multitasking...YES!!!

Apple's iPhone 4.0 software to deliver multitasking support

Check out this article on AppleInsider.

I'm nearly 100% happy with my iPhone, but this would be a great improvement. Almost as good as when they added Copy/Paste!

I'm Jacked

Well, I made the move...to a new, heavier ball! After bowling with my 12# Hammer Psycho for nearly a year, I was beginning to notice some deflection and decided with the help of LacubriousToo to move up to a 14# ball. I was happy with the Psycho but thought it would be lame to get the same ball (just heavier) so we looked at what was available and the Jacked was it. So I ordered the 14# and LacubriousToo ordered a 15#, both with fingertip grips! Yep, you heard right, LacubriousToo is moving to a fingtip to improve the rotation and reaction. He's really happy with it!

We had a pretty good lesson with the Pro shop guy, who also fitted and drilled our balls. He gave me some suggestions for improving my approach, which I am still trying to get implemented. Change is so hard! Plus, I'm not all about the sports so the whole muscle memory thing takes a while with me. I had a good practice session but totally freaked when I tried to use the ball in league on Wednesday. I managed to pull it out by the 3rd game, thank goodness. And we are still in 1st place!

LacubriousToo got some suggestions for his swing and release. He's an avid practicer and has bowled nearly every day since he got the new ball. I hope he doesn't overdo it.

We're going to try to get some practice time in this week and weekend so I can get my form back. We're looking forward to joining a summer league with some friends!

Calls from +63 63 884 399

So I've received 2 calls from +63 63 884 399. I missed the 1st one on 2/17/10 but picked up the 2nd one. It was a man with a really thick accent asking for my DH. When I asked who was calling he said Discover. I told him that I already instructed them to take us off their call list as I had been getting several calls from another number 866-290-4961 where the person calling identified themselves as with Discover.

Based on the country code, these calls are coming from the Phillippines.

I did some googling of this type of call, and these are most likely scams. I have not found this specific number referenced anywhere so I'm putting it out here on the off chance someone else googles the same issue.

Cluttered?

On Unclutter.com I found this post about how disorganization may be affecting your job performance!

Haiti

Read about this blog post on Dooce and wanted to repost a link on here.

Whenever I hear about a disaster on the news I tend to feel like doing something but often feel helpless. I like that this blog poster gives some accessible actions that anyone can do. While it's certaintly no "heavy lifting" in the volunteer department, I believe every little act can add up.

Amazing Vegan Ice Cream

Whipped this up tonight as a snack. Tossed frozen bananas into the
food processor and ran it for 5 minutes. I added a tablespoon of
peanut butter. Dished the result and sprinkled with crushed walnuts.
Amazingly creamy and delicious!
