Have you ever gone to a restaurant that had one of these screens set up? We have one where I work, and we're looking to capitalize on what they have to offer.

So Much To Blog About

Yet I've forgotten most of it! Arrgghh! I left work this afternoon and went to the local branch of our public library to pick up a movie I'd reserved. While there I browsed some books and other movies, and checked out some others.

I have added the books to my AllConsuming.net reading list, which I have placed on Dan's Domain, my homepage.

This morning I went to see the psychiatrist. He was out sick so I saw another one. I got a new prescription for Adderall-XR, and I'll supplement that with the Adderall I've been taking. I'm still taking Lexapro to get more seratonin in my system.

My boss at work talked with me about some upcoming plans he has for me and for the restaurant. I'm not comfortable sharing them all right now. We also discussed a problem I and a coworker had this past Sunday.

I'm off to watch some prime time television and examine my daughter's Trick-or-Treat candy stash. Oh yeah, and eat dinner.

Lewis Has Bengals Believing

The Cincinnati Bengals are 3-4 in their division, and a division title is within their reach for the first time in years. Honestly, I'd just be happy to see a winning season. But, of course I'll be thoroughly delighted if they win their division.

Go Bengals!!

Yes, it's true. I found it via JoshClaybourn and blogdex.

"My Dreams are Weirder Than Yours"

... so goes the tagline for this blog, especially since this is a journey inside my mind. Susan shares a dream she had recently, and it's weird, too.

The Matrix: Revolutions on IMAX®

The Virginia Air and Space Center will be showing the third installment of the trilogy on its IMAX® screens. The U.S. Air Force Museum has an IMAX theater, but they're not doing this. Instead they'll be showing a double feature about Dolphins and Stormchasers. Maybe later perhaps.

Pets Are Good For Your Health

Yahoo! Pets Tips:

Did you know that having a dog can be good for your health? Studies have shown that petting a dog decreases blood pressure and heart rate, while increasing one's sense of well-being.

This is one big reason why we got a dog in the first place and why we strongly considered him for when we searched for an apartment.

My Four Walls

I just found out that Lucas has linked back to me via BlogShares.

Hernia Scar

I remember as a little boy, that I would wake Mom and Dad up on a Saturday morning, for example, by running in and jumping on their bed. I didn't care if I landed on my Dad or not; in fact, I thought it was an extra bonus if I did.

I bring this up because I've wondered if my daughter Keisha would do something like that. I'm also more concerned because, when I was little, I had a few hernia operations in my groin area, and lately, I've become more aware of how sensitive the area around the scar is. I'm acutely aware of this being the weakest area of my body, and I know that a blow to that area would be devastating.

A Story of Friendship

During the first World War, a soldier in the trenches saw his friend out in no-man's land -- the ground between our trenches and those of the enemy -- stumble and fall in a hail of bullets. He said to the officer, "May I go, Sir, and bring him in?"

But the officer refused. "No one can live out there," he said. "I will only lose you as well."

Disobeying the order, the man went to try to save his friend, for they had been like David and Jonathan throughout the entire war. Somehow, he got his friend on his shoulder and carried him back to the trenches, but he himself lay mortally wounded, and his friend was dead.

The officer was angry. "I told you not to go," he said. "Now I have lost both of you."

With his dying breath, the man said, "But of course it was worth it, Sir."

"Worth it?" asked the officer in disbelief. "How could it be? Your friend is dead, and you are mortally wounded."

The boy shrank from the reproach, but, looking up at his officer's face, he said, "It was worth it, Sir, because when I got to him, he said, 'I knew you'd come.'"
