My current weblog.
Thursday, June 20, 2002I just caught a snake on my kitchen floor. It's not at all unusual to come across snakes in South Florida, water moccasins are particularly common, but it has been years since I have encountered one and never indoors. In general snakes prefer to stay away from humanity (surely a sign of intelligence 
).
The little bugger is young and dirty, probably from dust under my kitchen appliances, so I'm having trouble identifying it. There doesn't appear to be any stripes or banding, except for one brown-ish band on the neck, and it hasn't tried to strike anything, so it's probably harmless.
If I can figure out what it is today, and know that it won't poison anyone, I may just keep it...
Just to be on-topic for a moment, Verizon Wireless has finally unleashed their flat-rate 1xRTT plan for $99/month. Hopefully this will start a price war that will push rates down to $50/month by the end of the year. Still holding my breath for 1xRTT / GPRS Compact Flash adapters, and broader availability of high-speed phones with Bluetooth.
My life is still crazy, and time is not on my side. What few spare moments I've had for writing have been spent with my paper journal. Amazingly, I still get many hits every day. This page will probably be mostly dry for the next two months, with random bursts of heavy posting. Not this week, however...
My long-lost love is back with a passion that neither of us had ever experienced. Eight and a half years of history, mostly painful from my perspective, followed by ten amazing days of tearing down walls. There are stories here that I want to share, just have to find the time to get my old online journal running again...
Dad's condition is continuing to improve, he was moved to a rehab center last weekend and should be home very soon. He'll need to work from home for a while, but that shouldn't be much of an issue for him (he's a crusty old mainframe guy working in change management these days, not accustomed to the Internet's ability to make location almost entirely irrelevant).
