May The Stars Light Your Way
On Sunday, August 24, 2003, Wendy & I went diving at Natural Springs Resort in New Paris, Ohio. This was a significant event for two reasons. First, it was the first time Wendy & I dove alone, and secondly, it was the first time we…
So, I get another envelope from CSTCC. With trembling fingers, I opened it to find a schedule — showing me registered for both classes (YEAH!), and a balance on my account. A balance of more than $300. While unwelcome (who wants to spent $300?!), it…
Tonight we went to one of Wendy’s nurses, Mike, and her husband Greg’s lovely home for a pool party. Wendy has known Mike & Greg for a long time through equestrian pursuits (Wendy’s horse lives at Mike’s barn), and in October 2002, Mike began working at Wendy’s hospital.
The pool party was a lot of fun, including a death-defying leap from 29 feet (the roof of the pool house) into the pool below by another of Wendy’s nurses, Nikki.

We had a nice meal there of barbecue, egg salad, pasta salad, fruit salad, and mini eclairs for dessert.

Apparently, UC’s tuition benefit is only 6 hours per quarter, and I’d registered for 7 hours at CSTCC. I found that there was a form at UC to request additional tuition benefit hours, so I secured that and submitted it.
Hopefully, that’s the end of the bills. We’ll see!
I’ve noticed that this week my site has been unavailable a lot. As it turns out, the issue is with TZO, the service that connects my dynamically-assigned IP address with my domain name. TZO has been dumping my connection, which makes my site unavailable. I’ve…
