Veggie Pasta

1 Red Onion diced 2 Carrots diced 1 Celery diced Fresh Mozzarella 4oz bacon 6oz fusilli pasta (My personal favorite is Dellalo) 1.5c Marinara sauce Parsley for topping

Cook the bacon to desired doneness in a 10 to 12" skillet. Personally, I like it just a bit chewy, rather than crispy.

Drain the bacon on a plate with a paper towel while you cook the veggies.

Cook the veggies until soft and browned. Add sauce and bacon and warm.

While the veggies are cooking, bring a well salted pot of water to a boil and cook the pasta per directions on the package.

Aliquot the pasta onto two plates add fresh mozz into the pasta and spread the sauce evenly between the two plates. Top with parsley.

This makes enough for two people.

Those that can’t do, teach… Those that can’t teach do HR.

Try watching this movie, it was based upon a real event:

Last Breath

My oldest brother went to work for McDonald’s, then later for Hardees as a manager. I remember how his room smelled. Like old grease and sadness. He lost feeling in his fingers due to working the grill and was working all the time.

I vowed never to work in food, ever. Now 40 years later, I still haven’t. Although for a bit different reason, as I love to cook and have made it a hobby. I would not want to make something I love to do into something I HAVE to do.

O’Hare (ORD).

When? Every time I’ve flown through it.

Longest? 20 hours… I think… My brain has tried to blank that period of time out to save my sanity.

Now I avoid flying through ORD at absolute all costs. DTW, DFW, DEN, hell even ATL are better to fly through. 3 years ago my family flew to Kauai. On the way out we connected in DEN, which went great. On the way back we had to make two stops, first at LAX, the second at ORD. We made it through LAX with no issues. Got to ORD and had a 10 hour delay. The only reason why I didn’t rent a car and drive home was due to being awake for 30 hours at that point (I don’t sleep on planes). Also, the plane was always “just one more hour away”.

Funny enough that’s what I want. No idiotic grave that will just be dug up in 25 years where my remains will be dealt with in other ways that my family would have no control over.

Just cremate me and spread my ashes above 10000ft (3050m for my more civilized friends). Then I will forever become a resident of the sky, which is my favorite place to be.

As far as my friends go… Ehhh my last TPK was with a meteor storm spell

Part whirlwind, part most stability I’ve experienced in my life, and part adjusting to a new norm.

My life in the mid 00’s was… Interesting. Mrs Canopyflyer and I met in 2004, got married in 2005, moved 400 miles for her job in 2006 and baby #1 was born in 2007.

So by 2008 I was getting used to:

1. Being a newish husband.

2. Being in a completely new city where I knew no one.

3. Being a new father.

9 to 10 hours a day for me.

But I work from home and work in IT. Also, my two main D&D groups play online as we’re spread out all over the country.
