From the move-out at Coors Park comes the summer's freshest blockbuster:

Hey, in case you haven't had enough stories about life aboard an aircraft carrier (or maybe there's the outside chance that my story made you interested in more), check out the PBS mini-series "Carrier." The film crew went aboard the USS Nimitz for a while and documented the sailors' lives, warts and all. I've heard both good and bad reviews, but I will say that, according to some e-mails circulated at work, the Navy was interested in more than just a 10-hour recruitment video.

In case you were wondering what the heck the "Diet Ramble On Zero" sidebar was... now you know. I'll send messages there during those times when inspiration strikes and I'm not on a computer (and now those of you reading in RSS now have a reason to visit the main page from time to time).

My thanks go out to Rob and Josh for trying out the cutting-edge web stuff first so I can copy from them bask in their knowledge. Oh, and Tom's doing it now, too, even though he's a self-proclaimed exile of his generation.

Hey, the carrier trip write-up is still coming. It'll be good when I finish it.
