October 19 @ 8:20 amI haven’t been very chatty lately, you may have noticed. I’ve been too danged busy… work, life, go go go!
I managed to watch a few movies to unwind. One of them was quite interesting, Lucky Number Slevin. I don’t want to say too much about it because the movie is filled with plot twists. If you liked The Usual Suspects you might like this one.
In order to cement my status as an alpha nerd I bought this recently. I’ve raced r/c cars but I’ve been thinking of getting into r/c aircraft. What better way to start out than by buying a full-up PC-based r/c airplane simulator? Think about it… an r/c airplane is a simulation of a real airplane… and this is a simulation of a simulation of an airplane! Ok, I said it was a nerd thing…
I went to lunch with an Indian friend yesterday. He’s going back to India at the end of the month. Among other reasons, he’s at the age when his parents expect him to get married. They’re setting something up for him now. Arranged marriages seem strange to us normally, but thinking about it… can it be much worse than random dating?
Ok… random brain dump over… I’m out!

I watched a special one nite about the Indian marriages. They now have websites that help “arrange” marriages depending on their caste class & family money. It was interesting.
Miss you blogging!

Hey Mike! Was just browsing through your recent posts on my search for your SPSH. My hubby raced rc cars for ages, and now enjoys the rc aircraft hobby. I wish we had known about the pc simulator. It would have saved us some money in repairs. hahaha He learned first hand by using a “trainer”. It is an add on for his controller that allows another person to take control as you are in flight. I wish you lots of luck in your new found interest. I am sure you will enjoy it.

rc aircraft would be pretty awesome. Maybe you can get a side job with the Seahawks and be the mini zepplin driver that toots around the stadium!
