OK, here's a joke from the fine people over at cartalk.com:
Tired of constantly being broke and stuck in an unhappy marriage, a young husband decided to solve both problems by taking out a large insurance policy on his wife, with himself as the beneficiary, and arranging to have her killed.
A "friend of a friend" put him in touch with a nefarious underworld figure who went by the name of "Artie." Artie explained to the husband that his going price for snuffing out a spouse was $5,000. The husband said he was willing to pay that amount but that he wouldn't have any cash on hand until he could collect his wife's insurance money.
Artie insisted on being paid something up front. The man opened up his wallet, displaying the single dollar bill that rested inside. Artie sighed, rolled his eyes, and reluctantly agreed to accept the dollar as down payment for the dirty deed.
A few days later, Artie followed the man's wife to the local Safeway grocery store. There, he surprised her in the produce department and proceeded to strangle her with his gloved hands.
As the poor unsuspecting woman drew her last breath and slumped to the floor the manager of the produce department stumbled unexpectedly onto the scene. Unwilling to leave any witnesses behind, Artie had no choice but to strangle the produce manager as well.
Unknown to Artie, the entire proceedings were captured by hidden camera and observed by the store's security guard, who immediately called the police. Artie was caught and arrested before he could leave the store. Under intense questioning at the police station, Artie revealed the sordid plan, including his financial arrangements with the hapless husband. And that is why, the next day in the newspaper, the headline declared: Arti Chokes Two For A Dollar At Safeway

We did the haunted house yesterday and the day before. The room I was in and worked on was the "swamp" room. It took a lot of setup, but it was fun to do. A week of setup taken completely apart in about an hour...
The main reason for this post is that I found this website: http://www.ultralounge.com
I bought a cd from them a Long time ago, but I didn't realize that they had so many to choose from. The one I got was "Bossa NovaVille" and it is filled with unbelivable elavator music.

Lots of stuff has been happening recently. Every afternoon this last week I helped (well, sort of - a lot of time was spent talking and unicycling) work on the Senior Homecoming float. We had a 50's Hollywood theme and ended up building a great - Huge, float. I'm now working Sundays instead of Saturdays for a varitey of reasons. Today I took the SAT 2 (Writing Physics and Math2C) in Reno at Wooster High School, came back to watch the float at the Halftime of the football game, then drove to Auburn and back to shuttle a car here. I started the Calc C internet course, but have not spent much time on it yet. My CD-RW/DVD drive in this laptop went dead, so I am eventualy going to get a replacement. College Application time is drawing near, and I don't quite know what to do.

Our Barbershop show is today. We did a rehearsal for a small audience yesterday, and it came off pretty well - minus the power outage.... Our high school group, "Easily Distracted," has a couple of songs that we put some coreography to. Besides our "Sierra Mountaineers" group there is a High School quartet from Santa Rosa, "Lock the Exits," that's going to sing for a while tonight. It should be fun.

Well, it's been a while. I haven't updated the webcam for a long time, and no new content to the site. School started a few weeks back. I'm teaching many people how to unicycle at school (or more precisely, letting them learn, for there is not a heck of a lot I can do to help them out. It's more of an experience thing.). I saw Bat Tumb yesterday - it was pretty darn funny. My car at lunch has started looking like a circus, with juggling balls, clubs, and unicycles. I've been keeping pretty darn busy after school doing this and that (yearbook, barbershop, etc.). My classes aren't too bad, although English is getting really, really boring.
