Summer is almost here!

My first money I made on the web. $1.50! Thank you, whoever you were who signed up to be a member of MySurvey. Now I only need 264 more signups to get all the money I've put into my website back into the bank...

I've been my riding my bike a lot more lately. Here are the bikes we got.

Tiff had to work on Saturday, so after I got groceries, I popped my bike in my trunk and did the entire circuit on Presque Isle. 13 miles. Got to do that some more! Unfortunately, I was silly enough to pack my cell phone and got two voice mails, and ended up conducting about 15 minutes worth of emergency work business while next to Perry Monument and on the north shore, actually biking while talking on my phone. Isn't there a law against that?

This brings my unusual count of places I've been called regarding work issues to 3:

1. Niagara Falls, NY -- Literally in my car RIGHT next to the Canadian Falls
2. Sarasota, FL -- On Lido Beach.
3. Riding a bike on Presque Isle.

Not that I'm complaining. I just find it somewhat humorous.

Wedding plans are progressing. Slowly but surely. Ask me for the link to get updated on the latest, via the super secret web site.

Recent TV shows I've been getting into. (Don't laugh):

American Dreams (NBC) A bit preachy, but hands down the best hour of television right now. Sunday Nights at 8pm. If you lived through the 60's or know someone who did, watch it.
Everwood (WB) A tad corny...
Gilmore Girls (WB) A tad girlie, but the dialog is incredible.
Survivor (CBS) Destined to forever be a classic.
CSI (CBS) A good cool down after Survivor

Okay. My KILLER Beef Stew is nearly done, so I'm going to need to go now. It smells SO good. I went through a non-cooking funk last week, but this week I've been back at it. We had spinach stir-fry Saturday night, which is even better than the KILLER beef stew. If you're ever over, request the spinach stir-fry. It's my specialty. (Damn, I forgot an ingredient Saturday. I just remembered!!! No, TWO! Oh no!)

Visit to Florida

This post retreived from the jasonramsey.net archival vaults.

A little longer between updates... I flew down to Florida for a while. Visited my parents and grandparents. It was good to be down, even for a short amount of time. Flying out of the Erie airport was a dream. Few lines, quick service. Flying back from Sarasota was a little rougher, but thankfully my mother pointed out the self-check terminals. Use them. They rock.

More recently listened to songs:

Thinking About Tomorrow - Beth Orton (Daybreaker)
Hey Jude - Beatles (Past Masters Vol.2)
Fill My Eyes - Cat Stevens (Mona Bone Jakon)
Soldier Blue - Buffy Sainte-Marie (Native North American Child)
Possession - Sarah McLachlan (Fumbling Towards Ecstasy)
One of these Mornings - Moby (18)

Bought bicycles on Wednesday night with Tiffany. We both got 24-speed, aluminum frame, hybrid bikes. (They're weak mountain bikes that are more geared towards road use than any off-roading.) The good news is that they were relatively inexpensive, and BY FAR better bicycles than what we had.

Otherwise, this month so far has been pretty interesting. A chance to spend time with relatives. A chance to get a lot done at work. And something even more interesting that I'll just sit on for a while.
