I am in Erlanger Kentucky today. I gave a demonstration this morning. Also this morning my new electric razor ran out of power. No problem, I’ll just plug it in. Nope, I didn’t bring the power cord for it and I don’t think I charged it since the first time I had charged it upon purchase. Yeah, the razor cut out at the exact midpoint of my shaving. I had half a face shaved and half all scruffy. Luckily I just shut the razor off for a minute, turned it back on and used it furiously till it shut off again. I was able to do this enough times to get my whole face smooth. That could have been very inconvenient.

Let’s see, I found out that One of my stocks dropped 15 points in one day the other day because they failed on a clinical trial. This stock has been nothing but misery since I bought it. Well, now I can sell it and take the loss as a tax deduction. The stock is called NUVELO INC. Here is the story about the drug failure.

Today’s photo is is of how awesome the sky looked.

The other photo of a water tower in Florence, KY. I thought it was kind of fun.

And the other photo is of the wall at Hoggy’s.

Hoggy’s is a BBQ place in KY. The food was very good and so were all the sauces. They also kept bringing us more and more cornbread, my weakness. I learned about the New England BBQ Championships. I think they would be a lot of fun to go to.

On iTunes I found a very funny video podcast called Don’t Be That Guy Films. I downloaded and watched all eight of the episodes. They were very funny. The guys have some good ideas and each episode ends with a picture of a guy that you don’t want to be. You can subscribe to their podcast, I’d recommend that you do so.

Foxtrot coming to daily end.

Bill Amend is going to be going to a Sunday’s only format with his comic strip Foxtrot. I have been a Foxtrot fan for a long time, since it began and since I bought my first Foxtrot collection. After that I bought every Foxtrot book I could find. Bill Amend created a very likeable family in the Foxes. They are so interesting and fun. I love that the characters haven’t aged in the years that Foxtrot has been around. I am going to miss reading the dailies.
