Australia

We went to the movie 'Australia' this afternoon. It's not bad; not a total chick flick but close. Could and should have been cut by at least 30 minutes, but overall I'd recommend it.

I have a cold

I missed two days work this week with a cold. The fever's gone, but I'm still hacking and sneezing and sucking on cough drops. (If you're looking for a stock tip, Hall's should be good.)
Anyway, it looks like I'll miss Kenzie's play. I was really looking forward to it, but I don't like people that go to a crowded auditorium and annoy everyone by coughing their heads off, so I won't do it. I'm sure Kenzie will be great and I hope someone takes pictures.

It's a tough job...

Friday, the engineering manager took the department to the Tri-County shooting range and to Clancy's in Sherwood for lunch.
The idea is that:
a. Some of the new engineers are fresh out of school and have very little actual shooting experience.
b. It gives us a chance to try out some of the new prototypes.
c. It's damn good for moral.
The range has pistol, rifle, and shotgun ranges. I split my time between pistol and rifle.
It's really tough sweating over a hot gun all day and keeping your eye on the target, etc., but someone has to do it.

Happy Birthday

Happy Birthday Daddy.
