I was running late this morning, and in my rush to get ready for work, I forgot to weigh in. But based on my trend over the past week, I fell short of my goal, only losing about a half pound. I have a lot of catching up to do. 😕
Today, the Dothan Police Department had a chili cookoff as part of their fundraising efforts for the March of Dimes. All-you-can-eat chili for $3. Mmmm. My wife is going to hate me tonight. 😉
I finally got back on track and lost a pound over the last week. I forgot to post last Monday, so I’ll create a retro-active entry for that.

What we discovered is that you can’t do this: $message = <<<MSG Hello $postvars[‘FirstName’] MSG; Even though heredocs can accept other complex … Continue reading
I just took the Yankee or Dixie quiz. It correctly deduced that I am 94% Dixie.
Yesterday, I received a check in the mail which was my portion of the CD Minimum Advertised Price Antitrust Litigation. I posted something in relation to this over a year ago. The settlement check is in the amount of $13.86, which (ironically enough) is not enough to buy a new CD.
