The final judging of our mustache contest was held this weekend. Before I reveal the winner, take a look at these mugshots and decide: who has the most Handsome Mustache? Les Hermann was the odds-on favourite going into the weekend. An untimely shaving accident nearly put him out of the contest entirely, but he was able to salvage this handsome hairlip. Craig Kroeger is a mustache veteran. In fact, I've never seen him without an outstanding field of hair under his nose. That may have played against him in the judging. Dan Cody got stuck ...
My Friday afternoon doldrums were interrupted by a ruckus. ("What kind of a ruckus? Can you describe the ruckus?") (Yes, I can). I was sitting at my desk, which is next to a window that overlooks a parking lot, which is next to a row of, how do you say, "run down houses". First, I heard the sound of screeching tires, which is not that uncommon around here - quite a few accidents lately. The next thing I heard was a gruff voice screaming "Get down on ground!!!"

They were just absolutely stroking themselves over the possibility of a playoff including Woods. ...
I've written about the sweet nectar of the gods, the coffee, several times on my weblog. As I pointed out in "The Coffee Connundrum", it's hard to function at a high enough level to make the coffee in the morning without first *having* a cup of coffee to get me going. Case in point: I woke up this morning, shuffled my way into the kitchen, and proceeded to follow the steps in making a pot of coffee 1. remove old grounds (if neccessary) 2. grind beans, place into filter basket with filter 3. turn on Oops, I may have forgotten a step there. Yeah, there's the whole part about adding water. Apparently, I followed steps 1, 2 and 3 above, and even went as ...
