Perspective
I've noticed some commonalities in a couple of colleagues who are retiring this month. Meanwhile, I see at least two others who are up for retirement but choosing not to. Made me wonder what separates them...

Happy New Year 2011!
Happy New Year everyone. Our 2010 New Year's Eve Scavenger Hunt winner is posted (and pictured above). Congratulations to all who entered. You can see the results, scores, and comments here, or read the article showing the winning pics. And I will add that 2011 is a prime number - always special to any numbers geeks. Here's to a great wrap to a good year, and a better foot forward for the new year!

2010 Scavenger Hunt!
Above is the first submission to my 2nd Annual New Year's Eve Scavenger Hunt! The concept is simple. I send you a list of 6 items to identify, collect, and photograph, and you send your single portrait back. Post the results, see who did best, yada, yada, yada... Check this year's results here.

It's that time of year
Tis the season to be grrrrrrrrr. Actually, I can't complain. Snowblower started on the first try and I was able to clear the whole driveway on what little stale gas I left in there from last year! Tree is up. 3 strands of lights placed. About 12 bulbs replaced. In the pick'ems, we have our final two Survivors. Last week showed a few big moves in the pick'ems, proving there's still time to capture that. But who knows about the sportsbook?? I know I lost a 13 team parlay last week on an overtime loss in Indy. 12/13 in the parlay is worth all the disgust and ill-feelings it paid. Bah. Check the lines and stats here.

Pick'em Returns
Back by popular demand with a new 2010 price, ChasingTowers has started up the Pick'em Pool! Our privately hosted tournament features three categories (survivor, pick'em, and sportsbook), each of which awards the top two performers. Rules are posted. So tell your friends, sign in, and start picking! (The link looks like this)

Busted - Temagami20X
I've been on vacation less than an hour and I'm already finding myself in trouble. Customs seemed more concerned with our over-zealous Duty-Free purchases than whatever goodies we stowed away under the boat cover. The rest of the adventure will be updated daily right here, in the Temagami 20x blog.

Another Fish Story
Posted a half-dozen more pics from my latest fishing trip, including a story about a Large Mouth the size of a mailbox! Check out the blog.

Goodbye Boat
You can tell summer's almost here because my boat sold off of Craigslist just two days after being listed. From that boat I caught my first pike, learned to always check the drain plugs before launching, and memorized where every unlighted buoy hides out in the upper Niagara at night. Great times!

Dam
Added pictures from Hoover Dam. One could argue this is just a flooded continuation of the Grand Canyon, but they deserve separate articles.

Wow (cont.)
Posted our album of the Grand Canyon as promised... and on time!

Wow.
We knew it would be 3 hours out of our way to drive to and from the Grand Canyon off of I-40. We also knew it would be worth it. And we were still awestruck. For now I'll post a few pictures into the blog "My Odyssey - Part 2", but I promise an article with higher resolution pictures and video.
Oh, and Happy Mother's Day, Mom! -euphomus

Work From Where??
And so begins my semi-epic journey that will span multiple states over multiple forms of transportation. The first leg is a Caribbean adventure, with this post coming poolside in Puerto Rico! Follow along in my blog, arrogantly titled "My Odyssey".
ps... In case I don't update this on Sunday, Happy Birthday Sarah!! -euphomus

Get in the Game
WaffleHouse gets props today for their efforts in trying to capitalize off an already overmarketed holiday. In fact, their spam was so good that I still can't tell if WaffleHouse was being serious or funny about their "reservations-only" Valentine's Day dinner. So good, even, that I started a Best Spam Ever blog to immortalize that rare piece of spam that is worth sharing!

New Year's Disillusion
ChasingTowers welcomes 2010 with a few delays. First, it's January 26th before I seemingly have anything posted to the home page. I say seemingly because I was able to get the Blog link updated so it takes you to the top 10 most recent blogs instead of the old description page of what a Blog was. That was soooo last decade! We also made a major update to the blogs themselves, adding a picture description (alt text) field, an auto-thumbnail and auto-resize full scale agent, and a decent amount of content, too. So lay off! Second, with record Wii Fit sales, a P90X blog and Insanity blog for work outs, and the passing of the "holiday meal" season, everyone's full of new year expectations! We'll be watching them closely to see who can stick it out the best. Personally, our biggest critic is the one guy refusing to participate. Speaking of Spooke, I stole this entry's title from his New Year's article "New Year's Disillusions" - an article he promised to post New Year's Weekend. Waiting, sweetheart... still waiting! Happy New Year all! -euphomus
