Can’t say the layout of the site is the easiest to follow, but for something this cool it doesn’t really matter. A true grassroots effort to personal accountability. I hope efforts like these don’t get shut down by the “Cyber Czar”.

IBM is taking on Jeopardy sometime next year. Could be fun.
As the picture proves- Drew showed to be less than enthusiastic about the sad-little-wanna-be-snow we got last week… in some states I think they even call it ice, but hey- it’s Texas, we take what we can get. Guess we’re not moving to Colorado anytime soon…
it’s almost over, i just hope i’ve saved enough money to get me through the next 4 years as i’m sure, come january 20, the final solution to the mess we are in will be to take more of my money and distribute it “appropriately”. maybe the newer deal will work better this time, who knows.
mark papermaster, this guy should be working for the government with a handle like that.
When in Dallas do as Big Tex would do…. eat anything and everything fried or on a stick you can get your lips around. I think a wise man once said ”There aren’t enough meats on sticks”??
Anyways, being mine and Drew’s first trip to the state fair we thought we’d make it a family affair and meet up with Eric, Kristen and their two kiddos Maddie, and Dylan to check out what kind of fried goodness we could get into…. I figured it would make for good story since where else do you find fried oreos, 4lb turkey legs, and a variety of other artery clogging collations.
First and foremost, attention must be paid to the Chicken Fried Bacon…
After visiting what I thought was more of an educational experience than a petting zoo, we ventured out to find the Chicken Fried Bacon stand we had heard so much about…. With the singing of angels, brights light shining, etc… there it was, lots and lots of fried bacon. Although it didn’t come with a nutrition label slapped on the back of it (thank god), I had to try it knowing I would make a certain skinny kid proud. Surprisingly it wasn’t bad, it was actually kinda good, but I don’t know if I would go as far to stand in line again just to punish my arteries… just saying.
We moved on to corn on the cob that could put you into a butter-induced coma, ice cream, corn dogs, philly cheese steaks, and cotton candy- that one being a poor parenting choice, but that’s another story entirely. So we ate, and ate, and ate some more while checking out all the rides, bands, car show (psst Santa I’ll take a new Forrester if you’re out of ideas), and of course Big Tex- Drew loved him. Overall, I think it was a successful first trip to the State Fair minus the cotton candy, and it’s always fun to hang with the older, wiser set of Badowskis…
