Patrol Squadron 65 Stepping Down

I was just goofing off for a minute or two on google maps, and I zoomed in on Point Mugu Naval Base. This is where Amanda's dad used to fly the P3 Orion Sub hunter before going to fly heavies for United. The patrol squadron was recently fazed out, but not before google maps caught a P3 on the runway. Read more here

Mercury Swing

Well the mercury in the thermometer is not broken afterall. It actually warmed up to the level where the Texans cover their plants and the Californians pull out the parkas. Having thick blood here in IL, we went to the zoo. It was a beautiful day and still cold enough to keep most of the kids at home.




We also experimented with a new grilling sauce, courtesy of Frontera. It was a spicy chipotle sauce. We grilled the chicken with that and then sliced it up for tacos with salsa and grilled pineapple.
You should try it sometime...or come to visit and I will make it for you

Snow!!!

Can you believe we got more of that white crap again today? It is already gone, but still....it is freaking march!!! April is just around the corner and hopefully so is warmer weather!!!

Sunday Tradition continues

It has been a long standing tradition that Amanda and I have margaritas at a little hole in the wall off Belmont. It is close to where Amanda used to live and one of our favorite spots in Chicago. Wish you all could have been here with us....kind of :)

Not closing after all.

My faith in Apple led me wrong this time. I believed the hype (from Apple) that their new iWeb software would be a better way to blog. I was wrong. It is great for photo albums, pod casting, and publishing movies. Their blogging software is just a little short on the features side of things. I can not publish from my Treo, people can not add comments, and using HTML coding is a royal pain to integrate into the site. I will continue to publish pictures and such on the Apple site, but blogging will be done here. I have not been to typepad in a while and there are some cool new features I need to play around with in the near future. I apologize for the inconvenience, but come back to the new and improved Joslin Blog. You can of course leave comments, or send me an e-mail
