A Full Fledged Stickney Operation
In honor of what is soon to be The Summer of Stickney… I have spent countless minutes putting together a map of my 3 week tour of the Southern, Eastern and Northern Borders of this great nation. Using the Print Screen button way more than any one man should, I stitched together this image of my planned route. For more details, please check out the official schedule. I expect to see familiar faces around the nation, so get out there!
Ive recently made a decision that I mostly kept to myself, for fear if I didn’t go through with it, I would look quite the fool! I gave my notice at work, planned a month long vacation and am moving to Boston. All of which were things I wanted to accomplish this summer, but due to CBMC ( Circumstances Beyond My Control ), I had to move up my timetable.
I will remain at my present job through July, my last day being Friday, August 3. My work has taught me much, and I will draw from my experiences there for quite a while, I have no doubt.
Next, I’ll take most of the month of June off, to take my vacation, on the road touring with some old friends. It should be a hell of a time, and will give me the chance to see many parts of the country I have not been to before.
After I leave work, it’s the move to Boston. The fates aligned on this one, as Mikey, Dave and Pauly were all in the market for roommates. The IT Job Market in Boston is ripe for the picking, and I do not anticipate any problems finding a job. Plus, everything else was too good of a chance not to take.
If ever there was a Summer of Stickney, this should be it, and I couldn’t be happier.
So Long Narragansett, and Thanks for all the Fish (smell)
I just completed the donation of $250 to the American Diabetes Association! Many thanks to all who donated to this worthy charity! And we are in luck, because this month, the fine people at Cary’s – the maker of Cary’s Sugar Free syrup – have decided to match all donations ( up to $50K ) made to the ADA! So our $250 actually bought $500 in research, awareness and information to the ADA!
Thanks again, I deem this mission a success!
World… Shaved.
Perhaps my English blood is, after 400 years of living in the Colonies, starting to boil over. It would appear that I have, much to my surprise/chagrin, become a tea drinker.
Caught this article the other day on Green Tea Helping Rheumatoid Arthritis. I kinda shrugged it off, I tend to put more credit in medication than herbal remedies… but admitingly, I have been open to more solutions in the past year or so. So I thought maybe I’d start drinking more Green Tea.
Then last night I was flicking through the channels, and I invaribly stopped on the History Channel. They were doing a special on tea. I happened to catch them right at the beginning of the Green Tea segment. When lo and behold, they starting talking about it’s curative properties in relation to RA. Far be it from me to not listen to the History Channel, I bought some Green Tea the next day.
I figure a cup a night could do me no harm. Anyone know what exactly a crumpet is, and where do I get some?
