Traffic Court

I went to traffic court today.

Yes, I got a ticket.  I'm a horible, horible person.  Thing is, I wasn't even speeding.

I hired a lawyer.  Local boy, not a national guy -- wanted that local vibe.

I wrote an 11-page letter to my lawyer citing how there was no way I was speeding, complete with pictures, scans of receipts of how I was where and when.  I couldn't convince him, I figure I couldn't convince a judge.  Thing is, at this point, nobody cares if you were speeding.

Up and Running

It has been almost a year since my last post. I was in mourning because my brother left me. woe was me... I'm back, baby. Better than ever! Well, getting there. In addition to all the great stuff that has happened to me in the last year, i have decided to take a bigger interest in my health. I am seeing a chiropracter for some back pain -- more on that later. I got a kickass sonicare toothbrush last birthday to take care of that oral hygiene -- haven't had to go to the dentist since. My wife and I are on Weightwatchers and I have lost 15 pounds to date!

Photoshop Fun

I have this awesome pic I wanted to enlarge. I liked the pic because of the golden sky that was caputered through the silohuete of some trees. Lisa took the picture while we were camping at cherrystone. I think it was a fluke, but if you ask her... Anyway, prior to taking it to the developer for enalargement, i decided to color balance it and touch it up in Photoshop CS3 first.
