back from las vegas. I came back neither married nor rich.

I am exhausted though. zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

An old southern Baptist country preacher had a teenage son, and it was getting time the boy should give some thought to choosing a profession.

Like many young men, the boy didn't really know what he wanted to do, and he didn't seem too concerned about it.

One day, while the boy was away at school, his father decided to try an experiment. He went into the boy's room and placed on his study table four objects:

A Bible,
A silver dollar,
A bottle of whiskey,
A Playboy magazine

"I'll just hide behind the door," the old preacher said to himself, "and when he comes home from school this afternoon, I'll see which object he picks up. If it's the Bible, he's going to be a preacher like me, and what a blessing that would be! If he picks up the dollar, he's going to be a businessman, and that would be okay, too. But if he picks up the bottle, he's going to be a no-good drunkard, and, Lord, what a shame that would be! And worst of all, if he picks up that magazine he's gonna be a skirt-chasin' bum."

The old man waited anxiously, and soon heard his son's footsteps as he entered the house whistling and headed for his room. The boy tossed his books on the bed, and as he turned to leave the room he spotted the objects on the table.

With curiosity in his eye, he walked over to inspect them. Finally, he picked up the Bible and placed it under his arm. He picked up the silver dollar and dropped it into his pocket. He uncorked the bottle and took a big drink while he admired this month's Centerfold.

"Lord have mercy," the old preacher muttered in disgust, "he's gonna be a Congressman."

brief update:

Still slaving away at work... No huge fires today, so I can actually breathe for a change.
Also, they about made me passout yesterday afternoon... they scheduled a meeting to ask about to possibliity of getting some specific data, which usually means like yesterday... this is something they are thinking about doing a month down the road. Nearly fell off my chair when I realized they were planning ahead for a change.

Cheese:
Monterrey Jack is curing now (2 more weeks).
I'm about done with the Feta. holy cow it was good, complicated to make, but alot easier to cure (cures in a jar of salt water in the fridge).

that's about all.

I am hereby declaring the homemade cheddar cheese experiment a major win.

mmmmmmmmmmmmm

As Christmas comes and goes, I want to wish each an every one of you happy holidays.

Hopefully at some time during this holiday season you've found time to spend with friends and family, relax a bit, perhaps recharge the batteries, feast on good food and better company and so on.

Happy holidays, hopefully the coming year will be fruitful in your house.

Wishing you peace, good food, and relaxation,
Rob

BCS declares Germany winner of WWII
Fri, 5 Dec 2008 10:57:00 -0600

After determining the Big-12 championship game participants,
the BCS computers were put to work on other major contests
and today the BCS declared Germany to be the winner of World
War II.

"Germany put together an incredible number of victories
beginning with the annexation of Austria and the Sudetenland
and continuing on into conference play with defeats of
Poland, France, Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Belgium and the
Netherlands. Their only losses came against the US and
Russia; however considering their entire body of
work--including an incredibly tough Strength of Schedule--our
computers deemed them worthy of the #1 ranking."

Questioned about the #4 ranking of the United States the BCS
commissioner stated "The US only had two major victories--
Japan and Germany . The computer models, unlike humans,
aren't influenced by head-to-head contests--they consider
each contest to be only a single, equally-weighted event."

German Chancellor Adolph Hiter said "Yes, we lost to the US ;
but we defeated #2 ranked France in only 6 weeks." Herr
Hitler has been criticized for seeking dramatic victories to
earn 'style points' to enhance Germany 's rankings. Hitler
protested "Our contest with Poland was in doubt until the
final day and the conditions in Norway were incredibly
challenging and demanded the application of additional
forces."

The French ranking has also come under scrutiny. The BCS
commented " France had a single loss against Germany and
following a preseason #1 ranking they only fell to #2."

Japan was ranked #3 with victories including Manchuria,
Borneo and the Philippines .

Ouch?
