All and all managed to get 4 hours sleep last night

Trying to fall asleep listening to the cranberries

Angelo's Pizza was the place we went for pizza when I was kid when we wanted mushrooms. Seriously back then, the thing was covered with a whole layer of mushrooms when you added those to your pizza. Since we were a mushroom family this was always a treat. I don't order the pizza there anymore though.
In the mid-nineties when I worked for PC Elite the other employees there always ordered calzones. I, being someone reluctant to try new things, had trepidation at ordering something other then pizza from Angelo's. I'm glad I overcame that. I have introduced quite a few people to Angelo's calzones. So I would say this is the go to thing to order from them.
I was also very surprised at the new mini arcade they added. When I was young I always played the original Mario bros. arcade game there. If they would have had that now I think I would have entered into full geekgasm mode. Now if they could onl darken the place a bit it will be almost perfect - just like it was when I was growing up.

I had started a year in review for 2009, I was going to write up a link to all my stories of a personal nature over the last year.  Highlight becoming a father, etc., etc.  It's now two weeks into the new year and I never got the story completed.   Instead of giving up completely, I decided that the year in review was going to be just like Shermer, Illinois.  On a side note - have you notice that no matter how many times you write out Illinois you need to spell check it?  Anyways if you don't understand the significance of comparing a year in review to Shermer, I'll let Jay and Silent Bob's little scene from Dogma explain it to you.

It was a tightly held secret that before Creeva could play trumpet, french horn, baritone, (and very little saxophone) - that he flirted with being a drummer. Thankfully the danger was averted once he learned to actually read music, thereby disqualifying him from being a drummer entirely.

I've been trying to decide what big writing project to work on next. I have a couple I need to wrap up, but what about for the future. I'm tryingto find that genuine voice I used when I was complaining about my mother - but that horse is so dead and beaten you can't even tell it ever was a horse.

I've been thinking about a series about growing up a geek - but quite a bit of those stories would cross with a retro blog I want to get off the ground ( which if you are interested to help write for let me know). I have a few articles where I should get out my daddy issues, but those have been put to bed. I'm not sure I want to dredge up the past that my father and I have moved on from.

There is alot I could write about - just stunted at the prospect for the moment. I can say be on the look out for something genuine this year.

Great - now to decide what in the next 351 days......,
