The last of a dying breed, we DINKs (Double Income No Kids) are just trying to have a little fun. Montgomery may not be the best place to try, but we're making the best of it

I can't believe I missed "Talk like a Pirate" Day!!!!!
Arrrrrrggghh! How did I not know this was happening?
Tuesday September 19th 2006 was Talk Like a Pirate Day! Talk Like a Pirate Day only comes once a year (on September 19th), this year it fell on a Tuesday. I wasn't ready, but I could have learned more about this international holiday on the About TLAPD page and practiced some phrases from the PiratePhrases page. Me thinks I'll be handed the BlackSpot now that the holiday is over!
Seriously, and I am serious!...., this has to be the greatest manufactured holiday ever, and I still can't believe I didn't know about it! How could you have more fun at work, or anywhere!, than talking like a pirate? And of course, talking like a pirate inevitably leads to dressing like a pirate, and thats always a good thing....
One thing be fer sure, ye can bet this holiday a be goin' on e'ery calendar Me own, and e'ery electronic one'll have a "be remindin me a week afore" tag upon it.
Here are some cool things about "Talk Like a Pirate Day":
- Translate your own text into Pirate-speak with the handy Pirate Translator!
- Caroline McCarthy over at CNET has an interesting idea: honor more 21st century pirates!
- Astraware is running a TLAPD promotion! in addition to dressing and speaking pirate, purchases of Tradewinds and Seven Seas will be donated to Marie Curie Cancer Care.
- The Free State Project website has gone pirate!
- Distributed Proofreaders has gone pirate! They also have some pirate-related books on their site.
- SoloDoc has some funny pirate/insurance claim dialog.
My pirate name is:
Mad Tom Flint
Every pirate is a little bit crazy. You, though, are more than just a little bit. Like the rock flint, you're hard and sharp. But, also like flint, you're easily chipped, and sparky. Arr!

My friend the King Daddy Geek
My Friend, the King Daddy Geek has started his blog on being a parent and a geek. I have to admit, his story about sharing his music with his kids is touching, and it does kinda give me sentimental shivers. But so does pulling up in my car next to the sixteen year old kid, while playing Papa Roach loudly through my speakers and getting the thumbs up from the kid. Either way, I guess what we want is approval from the younger generation.

The Konnoisseur Kitty!
My cat is so sophisticated! He only drinks Sauvignon Blanc, and only from France! He likes a greener, more dry wine, with light fruit notes on the backside.

Elvis sighted at the Old Florida Fish House!
Saturday night, we went out to the Old Florida Fish House, which, interestingly enough, is a relatively new restaraunt/bar in Seagrove, just past Seaside, and just north of Rosemary Beach. We ate first at Basmati, an Asian fusion style restaraunt on 30-A in Grayton beach. Afterwards, we went to listen to a friend of ours sing at the Old Florida Fish house. While there, we were accosted by two cute girls making us drink Jagermeister shots and wear Jagermeister apparel. I'll keep those pictures to myself.

The down side...
So far, the hardest thing about this weekend is I have to walk so far to get coffee in the morning. Life aint so bad!
