Today has been a pretty boring day, honestly. I spent an hour or so working on my website and trying to solve a problem that’s been bugging me since I switched over to this system in July (the boxes down at the bottom of the right sidebar that say “Syndicate this site” and “Powered [...]

Tonight’s the big night. Well, big dinner, at least. Everyone’s coming over here to my Mom’s house and we’re going to grill up some steaks, maybe have some corn, that sort of thing. In other words, one last summer BBQ. I’m still not entirely clear on the process of getting charcoal [...]

Slow week. One thing that I suddenly realized this afternoon was that I’ve had more beer this last week than I’ve probably had in the last two months combined. Let’s see, a pint and half a pitcher last Friday, two large bottles of beers over the weekend (actually half of each of four [...]

Yesterday morning as I lay in bed over at my Dad’s house, I heard the unmistakable sound of my phone ringing out in the other room where I’d left it charging the night before. I was still tired so I didn’t rush out of bed to get the phone, though. When I went [...]

I just finished watching the movie “Memento.” It’s the second time I’ve seen it, and I still don’t know what to make of it. For those who don’t know anything about it, it’s about a man who has no short term memory. He has memories up until a point in his life [...]

I took the MAX (Metro Area Express for those not in the know, it’s our fantastic light rail system that runs across Portland and it suburbs, and luckily I have a transit center five minutes from my house) downtown and met my Dad at the MAX stop where you can pick up the Portland Streetcar, [...]

A friend of mine told me the other day that I “missed a GREAT Folk and Blues!” Bah, like I had a choice! She made it sound like I was sulking or hadn’t wanted to go because I had better things to do. Well, I certainly didn’t have better things to do, [...]

Whoa, comments all of a sudden! Guess people I didn’t know about DO read my website. Yes, Margaret, I dug through my access log, but it was just out of curiosity, plus it was after midnight and I had nothing else to do, so I figured what the hell?
I got one thing fixed [...]

Last night just out of curiosity, I started digging through the access log for my website to see if anyone from Beloit had been looking at my website. Most of the people who I know who read my site have either graduated or aren’t going to Beloit anymore, but I was just curious anyway.
The [...]

I’ve had an interesting few days, though honestly not a whole lot to write about unfortunately. I’ve backed off from the posting every day because there are only so many ways I can tell you how I spent my day doing nothing, so I think until I start doing things again, the every couple [...]

One thing I forgot to mention that happened on Saturday during our drive to Lincoln City was pretty funny. We were on Highway 22 outside Salem, the way I used to go into the city when my Mom would drop me off and my Dad would pick me up, and our entire procession had [...]

According to the software I use to manage my website, this is entry #200 for AGSHender.Net. This is also just about towards four years of entries, though I’d have to double-check to get the exact date I started up the site. I know it was in September, and I know that it was [...]

I think things are back to normal on the Comcast mail servers, so now if you’ve been getting duplicate or old notices when my website has been updated, it shouldn’t happen anymore. My apologies if you missed an entry or two or got the same notification sent out three or four times. That [...]

I thught I’d hold off on posting another entry for a couple of days because Comcast, my ISP here has been having email troubles and so the notifications weren’t getting sent out. In fact, I’m not even sure how many of you got the notification about the last entry I posted. I got [...]
