I drive my cARRR back from Maryland yesterday afternoon and had a surprisingly smooth trip. Driving really can beat taking a plane if the timing is right.
Good to be back in Cackalacky.

I’m a crusty old pirate, I live by the sea

Arrrrr!
Nothing like being in Annapolis on International Talk Like A Pirate Day. Arrrrrr!
Appreciating the parent blog
Kelly and I began documenting our lives as parents on the Hallie and Travis page weeks after we became parents. The site has grown, largely through Kelly’s posting, and has become a resource of sorts for other parents. Tonight another parent discovered the blog and posted a reply. Instant camaraderie!

Tooth geek
Wow. Its 10 PM and I actually just spent two bucks in the hotel store on dental floss. Never thought I’d ever become this obsessed with my teeth!
Be ye reminded, ye scallywags
Tomorrow be International Talk Like A Pirate Day, lest ye wench-chasing, grog-guzzling ways have caused ye t’forget.
Arrrr!
To the Annapolismobile, Robin!
I’m heading north in the morning to the company’s home base in Annapolis. Gonna meet some customers, do some support, and wreak havoc with the status quo for a few days. Things start off with a bang with a lunchtime call at the infamous Rams Head Brewery. I’ll be returning there after work for some tasty pints of their IPAs.
Yeah, I could fly there but why spend four hours going car-airport-plane-airport-car-work when I can just go car-I85-I95-work? Air travel being what it is these days, I can get there in the same amount of time and keep my dignity. Easy call to make, yo.

Spent some time yesterday with Travis at Lowes, looking for some piping I could use to hook up a garden hose to the tank. Out of a long aisle there was exactly nothing I needed. Guess I’ll have to be more creative.

Good guess
The weather station reports 1.54 inches of rain fell at MT.Net yesterday. I had guessed 1.50. Pretty close!
Ingrid approaching?
On the heels of what was Tropical Storm (and briefly Hurricane) Humberto, Tropical Storm Ingrid is now churning towards North Carolina. My guess is that Ingrid will turn north before getting to us, but I Am Not A Meterologist (IANAM). I sure wouldn’t complain if Ingrid stopped by just long enough to dump a bunch more rain on us, though.
