A Sad Excuse for a Nerd

New Blog Name

Apparently "Dave Benz" was a dumb name for a blog. Recently we ordered a new digital camera from thedigitalnerds.com, only to find out days later that the camera we ordered was on backorder for weeks. The digital nerds I spoke to at the digital nerds weren't particularly cordial. That led me to cancel my order with them and I placed a new order for the same camera at beachcamera.com - the absolute best place to buy a camera or camcorder. Beach Camera shipped my order the next business day. That led Rachel and I to determine that the digital nerds are more like the digital turds. I was so enamored with that name that I decided it would be the new name for my blog.

Everything is breaking

First, my phone drowned. Then Addie dropped my Fossil watch Rachel gave me for our 1st anniversary and the face broke. Then the next day our digital camera broke. The screen is all jittery. What is up with everything breaking? I wanted to get a new A/V receiver this summer, but now I need a new watch and a new digital camera.

Of course, I did have fun riding the waves this week on the big turtle and the inflatable lounge chair (see Rachel's blog for pics). We also saw "Pirates of the Carribean: At World's End". It was a little long, so Addie got bored about 2 hours in. She made it through by roaming all over the theater (there was only one other person in there). It was a good movie though, and Zoe enjoyed it.

We got home today, and it is so hot! I guess we got used to the beach with mid 80s and a nice breeze all the time. Here, it is in the 90s and humid. Doesn't look like any rain in the forecast anytime soon either.

Go San Antonio Spurs! Soon to be 4 time NBA champions!

Finish the sentence...

My ex... None. Rachel is the first and only.

Maybe I should... not sit on the toilet so long.

I love... my kids, and my wife... and basketball.

People would say that I'm...white and dorky. And strong.

I don't understand...Zoe with her palate expander in.

When I wake up in the morning... I take a shower? Weigh myself? Eat breakfast? Check the basketball scores.

I lost...the remote to my old Panasonic stereo. I found it later.

Life is full of... Family.

My past is... too weird.

I get annoyed when... people write checks at the store.

Parties are... occasionally fun.

I wish... I could spend all my time with my family...and watch basketball.

Dogs... are awesome.

Cats... are fun too.

Tomorrow... is Saturday!

I have low tolerance... for children with no respect for other people's property.

If I had a million dollars... I'd have a kick-butt home theater (Rachel says we already do).

I'm totally terrified... of dingleberries.
