I actually had one of these when I was a kid.
Well, the "family" had one, but I could program it with TI Basic.
And we played Burgertime on it.
Its storage device? A cassette tape recorder.
Yep. Now it's got less storage capability than a flash drive.
(I do not have it anymore, in case you were wondering...)

Would you?
1. Who would you least rather be stranded on a desert island with, Billy Joel or the ghost of Harry Chapin?
2. Would you rather donate blood or stand in the pouring rain for three hours?
3. Quick, if someone offered you 4.5 million dollars in exchange for ten years off your life would you except the offer?
4. Would you take a bullet for the head of state of whatever country you live in knowing that the bullet would kill the head of state but only paralyze you from the waist down?
5. Would you eat a bug for $175.00?
6. If you had to go a whole day with eating only mustard or catsup which one would you choose?
7. If you could go back to when you were 13 years old and talk to the girl or guy that you had a huge crush on but never had the courage to approach what would you say to her or him providing that you now have the courage to approach her or him?
8. If you got caught outside wearing nothing but your underpants what style or type of underpants would you be wearing?
9. If you knew that you were going to die a violent death next week how would you like to go out?
10. If you were the last person on earth what would your favorite hobby be?

Recent Acquisitions
I thought I'd highlight a couple of our favorite newly-acquired apartment decorations.
1. Original Artwork - When our new kitten, Machete, jumped up onto the scanner, quick thinking Sandra hit the photocopy button. The resulting image was lovely. You can make out the orange cat fur and a couple of paws at the bottom. We loved it so much, we bought a frame for it -

2. Decorative Drink Mixer Jug - We couldn't resist this jug of Blue Hawaii drink mix. The Blue Hawaii is something I haven't enjoyed since I actually visited Hawaii about 10 years ago. 1 part drink mixer + 1 part rum and then off to the hot tub.
The best part of this item is the cool jug though. I'm almost afraid to drink out of it because of how cool it looks with all that blue liquid in there. I guess I could refill it with water and add a 2000 Flushes tablet -

Another Anniversary...
Next Tuesday I will be celebrating my "rebirth" as you may recall.
August 28th 1990 was the day of the "Creation of Juan Bodley" in Southfield MI at the hands of Dr. Ian Jackson.
So in remberance of this festive day of no signifigance whatsoever I want you all (that have the time or who aren't belle) to find something they would have given me and make it an "e-present." Meaning find a picture of it and post it here.
Go wild my fiends!!!

One Down, Many More to Follow
RLB & Sandra celebrated our 1st year of marriage yesterday. For dinner, we returned to Ti Amo restaurant on Laguna Beach where we dined on our wedding night one year ago [after our most recent move, Laguna Beach is now just a 15 minute drive on the side streets, we don't even have to mess with freeway traffic anymore]:
Sandra had the rack of lamb and RLB decided it was time to try the much-hyped kobe beef, which comes from cows which are only fed beer their whole lives and are massaged daily, resulting in a marble pattern of fat throughout the meat. I've never had steak which I was able to cut with a fork before. It was delicious. Definitely worth every penny of its steep price.
I don't think we got to sit where Mick jagger sat this time either, but we just missed Magic Johnson. The manager gave us champagne and complimentary desert at our own little privacy table complete with curtains. We asked the waiter to close the curtains and to be sure to knock before opening them again if he didn't want to walk-in on something graphic. He replied, it wouldn't be the first time.
For desert, were were given a complimentary "Italian Love Potion" - steamed cream with amaretto. Yum!
On the way out, we noticed signed menus from Paula Abdul and Geraldo Rivera, but we still haven't found Mick Jagger's or George Bush Sr.'s. Maybe they were out on the veranda.
Signed menus.
I tried to dig out the welvet poker-playing dogs tapestry which Boz sent us as a wedding gift, but it is buried in the garage along with my shriner gear and Hulk Hands.

Machete!
Rebel Leady Boy & Sandra are proud to introduce our 3rd (and final) cat, Machete -
Sandra & Machete.
So now our cat trilogy is complete.
Since our other two cats are male and can get a bit uptight and territorial around each other from time to time, Sandra thought it might break the tension if we brought in a little girl who they did not perceive as a threat and it is working out very well. They are all a lot more relaxed now, which makes no sense to me, because Machete likes to continually terrorize everybody and everything.
Machete is a cat of action.
Also - Sandra refurbished a cat tree on our back porch. Disappointed with the usual browns and beiges, she stripped our green one and gave it a make-over. She is now quite handy with both the glue and staple guns.

In other news, one day when our usual swimming pool had kids in it (we hate kids), we wandered over to a second one and discovered it had an outdoor spa next to it. I love jumping in there. Since our move, I'm only about 10 minutes from my workplace; so I can usually beat the neighbors to it after work.
