Now I've went and joined a bowling league. I don't know exactly why, I guess I thought I needed to get out more. It's comprised mostly of fellow co-workers. Apparently they needed me because I am a horrible bowler. Something about handicaps, I don't really know. What they neglected to tell me was that it costs $12.00 a week. And there's a sponsor fee. And you need shoes. Oh, and a ball too. And it goes on for 26 weeks. Talk about fine print. So, the way I figure it, I will be "investing" about $700 and half a year in this little adventure. At least I got to pick the team name! We bowl every Monday night, so come support us. Actually, no wait... let me improve first... then you come support us! All the way, baby!

I'm finally doing it!
After years of wanting to... but, no I can't... but I want to! But, no, I just can't... (you get the picture) I am having Lasik surgery. Which is kind of a big deal for me, because I am really weird about my eyes. I'm afraid they're going to start doing their thing and I'm just going to punch them upside the head or something. I've managed to achieve an outstanding intolerance to my contacts though and can't wear them but a few hours a day, if that. This is usually followed by a nice headache and it's becoming all too annoying. They're very funny at the Lasik place though. They advertise the $599 and eye, of course. But once you get up there, they tell you for that price they use, and I quote, a "vibrating razor blade" to make the flap. Or, they can use a nice laser for only pennies more per day (a lot of pennies). And, I'm like... you keep that vibrating razor blade away from my eyes! Even though I'm pretty sure it's all a ploy to get me to pay much more than $599 an eye... the threat of vibrating razor blades to my eye balls will cause me to fall for it every time.
A Few New Photos...
I've posted a few new photos to my personal Flickr site. Nothing too exciting... mostly nature shots.
New Yearbook
I've published a new yearbook to Flickr... the 1961 Indian. Thanks to Bob Riggle for allowing me to scan his.
Small Town OK
I'm expanding my Asher Flickr page to all small towns and what makes them cool! To that extent, I have renamed it Small Town OK. I've just posted some pictures of Shawnee.
In addition, I've started a couple of groups. If you don't know what that is, it's just a pool that any Flickr member can dump their photos into, as long as it fits into the group. There's some interesting pictures in there.

08/08/08 08:08 :: What were you doing?
Yeah, I know this type of thing is going to happen every year 2001 to 2012, but it's kind of fun. At 08:08 PM 08/08/08 I was watching the opening games of the Olympics. What were you doing?
Last of the Gulf Shores Pics
I have posted the last of the Gulf Shores vacation pics (taken by others) over on Flickr. Take a look, if you wish.
New Ada Photo's on Flickr
Okay, I know you probably don't care, but I have posted some new photos on Flickr of Ada, East Central and Wintersmith Park. This particular one is of the Sugg Clinic, an Art Deco style building downtown that's listed on the National Register of Historic Places. I've also started a new Flickr group called "Oklahoma National Register of Historic Places" (whew!) that has a lot of interesting buildings and sites in Oklahoma. The address is www.flickr.com/groups/ok-nrhp
