Pastor Rick Warren

Pastor Rick Warren is like most Christians- way too accepting and blind to the fallacies presented on the bible.

Leaving Honduras

Just a couple of observations about my recent trip to Honduras....

The airport in San Pedro Sula has several SSID broadcasts indicating free internet like Digicel Internet Gratis and Claro free internet with nice strong signals.  However i have yet to be able to connect to any of them.  My Android ICS phone never gets an IP address and my Windows 7 laptop assigns some unusable IP without a Gateway.  I can't even find a paid connection.  So the internet at this airport sucks.

I am flying on a Wednesday and first class was not completely full- no one sat beside me and coach was not slammed full either.  Note to self: fly on Wednesday when you can.

Church

This is the third time in seven days that i have come to church.  It would be a colossal waste of time if my children were not involved in the service.

Strange Things

Atticus can't sleep with his feet under the covers and if i take a piss in the woods while walking the dog, he will lap up most of my stream before out his the ground.

Dog Smell

The sofa in our living room smells like dog because we let the dog have free reign of the living room.  Keeping him off  a new sofa will be a challenge so we won't be getting a new sofa anytime soon.

Our current sofa is torn, the cushion are worn and it is in pretty abysmal shape.  I can't even stand to sit or lay on it.  Don't even think about lifting one of the cushions.  The last time I did I found half eaten candy, pencils, spoons, hair, partially eaten brownies, rubber bands, a cordless telephone, chewed plastic toys and much more nasty shit.

Just a day in the life!

Insomnia again

Woke up at 3:45 AM and can't go back to sleep.  I can't seem to switch off my mind.  I still have somewhat of a cough.  Sucks...

Insomnia

I woke up coughing up phlegm at about 3:45 AM and couldn't go back to sleep.  Not being able to sleep seems to be happening to me more often now.  Maybe something having to do with age?

So I got online to book my flight to Jackson Hole in February.  I went to the Upromise site like I normally do to earn some money for my kids' college education.  At Upromise I normally book flights through Expedia where I received back 2% of the total spend.  It seems Expedia made a change and now only gives like $0.94 per booking.  Before I was getting $3 to $9 depending.

So now I booked this flight using Upromise and Orbitz which gives me $3.25 per booking- better but still not great.  I am beginning to wonder if it is worth my time is use Upromise.

I tried the Upromise Turbosaver but it sucks because it messed up the view of some web pages that I visit on a regular basis.

By the way, Expedia kicks Orbitz ass.  The overall look and feed of the Expedia site it much better than Orbitz and the deals are pretty much the same between the two sites.  What I really dislike about the Orbitz site is that they don't offer an iCalendar attachment to download into my calendar to automatically put the itinerary information on my calendar.  You would think that a site like Orbitz that has the traffic they do would attempt to make things easier for the user by offering such a feature.
