...first time in a few months, and I felt like getting something worthwhile with my money (as compared to cheeseburgers and GasAmerica soft drinks). So, Jim, Brendan, and I drove 25 miles north up to Castleton Square Mall and a few surrounding stores to grab some cool swag. I bought: -New pair of khaki cargo pants. (Originally $30, now $15.) -Blue/White Urban Pipeline polo shirt (Originally $33...

...thing I have inherited. My Dad and sister are both the same. Air con is my friend. You may have noticed an increase in number of posts about the gym, cycling and stuff. Saturday we set off to Castleton in the Peak District . It is a place that I have been to many times with Hugh Armour. The caves are fantastic, and there are a few decent pubs. This time we headed for car park at the base of...

Right then folks... That nice Mr Staley sent me a link to this: http://www.hermit.org/Eclipse/2007-03-0 3/ Turns out this weekend should see a lunar eclipse as well as a rather nice full moon rising... around 12, then go from there. After lunch we'll go down to Peak Cavern, then up to Mam Tor to watch the moon come up. Those of you staying for the moonrise would be well advised to wrap up warm

...with Heather and that was totally awesome!!! It's always fun to hang out with her though. We went to Kohl's and I bought many earrings with the $20 gift card from her family. Then we went to Castleton. I bought these cool five-piece rings and she bought a watermelon colored shirt that has green buttons going down the back (so cute, not my style of colors) and green earrings that matched. We...
