Nutty Putty Cavey

True, it has been closed to the general public for quite some time now. However, if you show yourself well-equipped in terms of equipment and first aid knowledge, a group of caving enthusiasts will give you the code to the door that barricades the caverns. On January 6th of this year we proved ourselves thus worthy and delved into the depths of the legendary Nutty Putty Cave. Enjoying the healthy amounts of mud the winter runoff had bestowed to the stone corridors, we saw such sites as the Birth Canal and finally spelunked where many a Zoobie had before us--cementing our inextricable bonds to the subterranean world of Happy Valley.

Well, now that I've conducted this little exercise, I shall now rate the results:
* = a good match (funny, appropriate, etc.)
† = a bad match (totally the opposite or just wrong)
‡ = a completely nonsensical match (totally random--I wonder why?)

According to my calculations, I contrived good tunes for the various facets of my life exactly 50% of the time.

I guess that's pretty good.

Do You Know Any Klingon Opera?

Here's your Star Trek clip o' the day...MELOTA!

When No One's Home...

No, I wasn't listening to Black Sabbath while showering...

Why do you ask?

Spring Fever

The temperatures have not been so frigid and snow has been melting as of late... I am incredibly excited to engage in my favorite warm weather activity!

Just what does this seasonal frolic consist of, you ask? Jumping into my 1984 Subaru GL Sedan, rolling down all of my car windows, keeping my left arm firmly on the windowsill, bumping my music incredibly loud, and steering only with my right arm.

I can't wait.
