MASSIVE Drool!

I have no conceivable use for this, but the "I wanna play with it" factor is incredibly high.

Added some stuff

Don't speak my language? Got something up top that'll do for ya. Mostly. Some languages make the translator gag. I didn't write it (don't think I could) and they don't claim it's 100% either. Also, it is a tad slow, so be patient.

Want to join with some nutballs? Wanna be on of the few, the proud, the truly underappreciated - and become a soccer referee? Well, then click on one of the two logos. Top one takes you to the National site, bottom one takes you to the Northern California site. From the National, I believe you can navigate to the International. Or just search on FIFA.

BTW, although I can,I don't like to code. The less HTML editing I need to do, for anything other than work, the better. I don't script for New Tab or New Window for the links on my blog. Two reasons (3 if you count the above statement):

• I hate it when some site keeps opening new tabs, new windows, or extra pop-ups. Pop-up blockers would prevent that.
• I want people to reach the links I take the time to put in. So I leave it up to the reader to choose how they get there.

To that end, I've put in a little note reminding some (and maybe educating others) that there is a way to open tabs or windows and see those thngs without having to leave my wonderful little slice of paradise.

So, how long's it been? 20! holy....

Okay. So I'm not just now realizing that my 20th high school reunion thingy is coming up in 6 months, but that doesn't mean I can't be surprised by it anyway. Especially when you consider that I just finished up a BA.

Yeah, I procrastinate. In fact, I've procrastinated my procrastination. I'm good at that. It's hard work, procrastination. It's not laziness at all. It is an active decision not to do something that I probably should be doing, but no one will die if I don't, so I won't. See? Lot's of brain power there. Took 1.5 seconds to think it and 30 seconds to type it out without errors......

Anyway, back at the Ranch......

My high-school graduating class had one other reunion, the 11th. Seems that the class officers have fallen off the face of the earth (especially the pres [and we thought she'd be the first inna White House]) so other people, mostly the ROTC people, got it going. It's funny how that works out. It was the same people that a few years later organized an "Every Year" ROTC reunion to honor the instructors (which surprised the hell out of them). We all had fun.

So now I wait for someone to organize an "Every Year" reunion for the band so I can get my double geek goin'. Get Fanfare for the Common Man and Rhapsody in Blue goin'. Some of us wheezers might even be able to swing some Birdland. You can keep the marches, thank you.

So now I've plopped my 80 bucks down and wait, nearly patiently, for the day to arrive when I find out that practically no one (except the 4 VPs that I know about) are doing any better than me. If they remember me, and unless you count the fact they got their degrees first.....
