UFC 101 coming up this weekend. That means its time to record a podcast about it and other MMA news tonight.

Told Bailey and I would take her to lunch and she said, "I want Chinese food." Yes, I have taught her well.

Figured out how to get Google Voice # to connect to Skype. Point Voice# to Gizmo5, then fwd Gizmo5 to Skype. Inelegant, but it works.

Bailey got a couple finger tips caught in the car door. Luckily it gaps some but she is going to have black marks under her fingernails. Ow.

Just took a walk down the canal trail. 56 degrees at 11 am on July 30. Passed people wearing sweats. I am loving this weather.

Mowed the lawn this morning in about 67 degree weather - in July. Loving this cool off.

Taking Honeybun to see Harry Potter tonight. Filling out the loan paperwork right now for the large popcorn. :D

I was right. 'Not full enough' is the correct answer. This is after about 5 more. I get the bonus prize, a pocket of rocks.

How full of rocks can a 2-yr old girls pockets be? Apparently the answer is 'not full enough.'

Decided to take the day off work and hangout with Bailey. She needs a Daddy day and Mommy needs a break. Time for Chinese food!

Affliction had a rough day. Canceled their event for next Saturday, then went out of business as a fight promoter.

Playing with my new voice recorder. I hope it will result in a better podcast.

Going live on Talkshoe in a little less than an hour. http://bit.ly/17Nudi

Power Co. rep interviewed on TV news about power outages; asks customers to have patience. Of course those w/o pwr can't see the news.

Just came back from the basement after tornado warning. Bailey loved getting to watch the lighting. The cell just missed us.

Think Bailey was trying to give me all the hugs and kisses she missed for the week she was gone. :) Daddy's girl is home.

Happy that Honeybun & Bailey are getting home in about 3 hours.

I see Walter Cronkite died. I remember his news casts. Does that make me old?

Paying for yesterdays 3 mile run/walk with shin splints. Battled with this back in my USMC days. Now I remember why I stopped running.

The second JKMMA show is now online. We wrap up UFC 100. http://bit.ly/jkmma2

Think I'm going for a run (possible more of a walk) down the canal trail and get some quality podcast listening in.

Honeybun and Bailey left for NM to visit the grandparents. Have the house to myself. The hot, no AC, it's-an-oven-in-here house. Um, yea.

Five seconds after that last picture was taken I heard my wife say, "No, don't put her in the cooler." Poor cat.

The cat loves this. No, really.

This morning Bailey looked and me and said, "Daddy, need my light saber."

I've never been so proud. (sniff)

Had a romantic date with Honeybun tonight which we ended by having ice cream at Baskin Robbins while watching the sunset over Safeway.

50 cent day at the pool today. Bailey finally got to use her new "blue noodle". Thankfully that was well before the tornado warning.

Hdln: "Two lost icons: For Generation X, a really bad day." I'm Gen X but if that headline is true for you, reassess your priorities.

Made it back from Grand Lake. Little sunburn on the forehead, but otherwise intact. Turns out "nature" isn't so bad. :)

This one will make you cry. http://bit.ly/10BV5n Thank you Pixar.

One more work day and then a 3 day weekend where I will suffer at a condo on a lake.

Oh Google Voice. When are you going live? Don't be such a tease. I need free voice mail. And where is "Google Student Loan Payoff"?

Healthcare insurance? What this country really needs is Universal Haircare. http://bit.ly/gDJtX

Great. First time I used this Belkin cable, the tip broke off in my laptop's headphone jack. Now I get to make a claim for a repair.

Tornado warning in the area. A tornado actually hit to the east of us and pretty much trashed a Lowe's.

Ah, cream of broccoli soup: the poor man's Lobster Bisk.

Weird headline O' the day: "Highlands Ranch opens new open space". Um, how do you open what is open by definition? http://bit.ly/13cCI8

Lunch time. If Bailey eats all her lunch she gets a special treat: oatmeal cream pie. Mmm. One of Daddy's favorites.

Cheney Quote O the Day: seven and a half years without a repeat [attack] is not a record to be rebuked and scorned, much less criminalized.

Working in the yard. Been a while since I've been outside. What is that yellow ball in the sky? It scares and frightens me.

Celebrating my graduation with dinner. Family and friends gave me an original Michael Parkes lithograph. Awesome.

Happy Mother's Day Honeybun. Wife, mother, total hottie. You're the complete package.

Tweaktoday mission accomplished. http://bit.ly/RXwka. Also reveals my thing with pop can tabs.

It is such a beautiful day, I've decided to take the day off - to stay inside to clean the carpet.

My second podcast is up. It's less than a minute and might even be funny. http://bit.ly/GsmWx

Took Bailey to the pool before work today. This is sure to be the highlight of the day.

Walked Bailey to the school so she could ride her scooter. Now she is climbing on the playground instead.

The way they keep saying Obama's first 100 days, I expect someone to give him an AA token. But he keeps spending like a drunken sailor.

This is what happens when a company picks the wrong pitchman and misses what it means to be "green". http://bit.ly/10iqys

US officials rejecting the term "swine flu" to protect the pork industry. I don't care what they call the flu. I still love bacon.

http://ping.fm/p/WVqms - You have got to be kidding. Snow on April 27. Isn't Colorado great?

Now that I'm done with grad school, no more excuses. Time to paint the kitchen.

I hear today is World Malaria Day. Um...yea World Malaria?

Shakespeare's birthday was today. Had I remembered earlier, I would have spent the day speaking in iambic pentameter.

At 6:37 am this morning: BRRRRAP, BRRRRAP, BRRRRAP. Stupid woodpecker. I am really starting to not like that bird.

I decided to celebrate earth day today by living on it. I also used a paper cup earlier.

Made myself a ringtone from Dream by Priscilla Ahn. Chose the part where she sings the "Oooo's". Honeybun said she knew I'd use that part.

When did Earth Day become Earth Week? Talk about religious fervor.
