Mini-me

The real one...

We have a cat!

He's been around the house all day yesterday. Very friendly too. Guess
his owners on vacation. Bought him some cat food which he gorged.

It was such e welcome sight when he came to greet me after a tedious
return trip from NJ.

I was hoping to see him this morning but he had moved on. I kinda miss
him. He reminds me of my dog I had to give away 2 years ago.

Edit:

After some digging, I found his picture

Sivaraatri tonight

That just means no sleep tonight, my leg muscles are sore all over. Went Mountain Biking at the schaffers farm http://www.more-mtb.org/forum/showthread.php?t=1205 this morning. It was good fun riding. The trail is single track but people were coming in the other direction too. There were some decent climbs but nothing too hard. The day wasnt too hot but did gulp 3 litres of water from my backpack.

My favourite part of the ride was where the track would have a short steep decent which would end in a stream and then followed by a short steep climb. You would splash the water, get dirty(which I love) and the cool water would make your feet feel refreshed.

80% of the track was through the woods but we did come across these gorgeous fields and open spaces which made the whole trip worthwhile. Should have taken more pictures, maybe next time.

We plan to go to Baltimore next week. Lets see how that pans out

Empty House

My mom left yesterday. The house feels empty now that shes gone. I woke up this morning not hearing her call my name that its late for work, no breakfast ready or lunch packed. No smiling face greeting me when I got home this evening.

I just wish I knew how to tell her that I am missing her.

Getting ready for the olympics

Well, the geeky way that is. Setup a personal video recorder called
mythtv. That way I can watch it whenever I want.

Btw, WTF is up with only 56 atheltes from India? I must say I am
embarassed about this. We need to support sports other than cricket
and hockey. I hope this really works out. Feel bad for all the
talented people who can't do anything about it

Fwd: Gimme a break is not to be taken literally

Well, the good news is that we won that playoff game, the bad news, have to be careful again :). Just got back from a 2 hour ordeal in the ER.
