4th-Aug-2008 08:52 pm - Testing, testing... does this thing work?

OK, LJ is nagging me that I haven't made a post, so I suppose I'll make it happy.

I'm sitting here, calling folks to find out which night we should hold SWMBO's birthday party on - Saturday or Sunday (which is her actual birthday). So far, I've talked to three answering machines, and found that two of our best friends have mutually exclusive schedules for that weekend. :-( Well, no one ever said that this would be easy, right? Guess that's why I get the big bucks. *snort*

Me... right. Well, my friends all call me a Dwarf, my motorcycle thinks it's a large, brown, firebreathing dragon, and I'm Canth's rider. Why, no... I don't have issues with reality; why do you ask?

I ride, shoot straight and tell the truth. I'm also a Master Mason. I'll write more later. Maybe. We'll see how this whole blogging thing goes.
