A little more ego for me!

This was pretty cool. One of my shots from Centennial Park in Nashville, TN was selected as the "Photo of the Day" at Nashvillest.com
The shot in question is one of my black and whites, which was shot when we discovered an old steam engine parked in the middle of a park in Nashville.
We found this after leaving the Parthenon and seeing the artwork on display in that building, which is a reproduction of the Parthenon of old in Greece.
Yay... Numbah One on Google!
So I've been up for a VERY long time now. I tried to go to sleep last night, but didn't really drift off until after 1am. Then, at about 3:30am, Patches woke me up because she REALLY had to go out to fertilize my yard. I've been up ever since, running on 2 and a half hours of sleep, some caffinated tea, and a handfull of caffine pills.
So what do I do when I get to work, in this horrible state of mind? I Google myself. I haven't done that in a while, so I thought, why not. Much to my surprise, I am now the number 1 result when you search for "Jeff Lane" on Google. Holy Crap! I am finally number one at SOMETHING!
Ok... I know, big freakin' deal, but in my delirious sleep deprived state, I am very easily excitable, especially once the caffine pills start making me twitchy ;-) And to prove my newfound status as the number one Jeff Lane on the interwebs, I present to you a screen shot:

I've got good news, and bad news.
It's 7:25 as I type this. My students should be an hour and a half into their practical exams. Should being the important word here. In fact, there's a sign on the wall of this classroom that simply says "SHOULD".
That sign taunts me. It mocks me. It laughs at me. I am Jack's utter disappointment. I say should, because they are, in fact NOT an hour and a half into the practical exam. I say should because instead of being hard at work installing and configuring a Linux system, they are off enjoying the beautiful evening. read more »
Thirty Four
On this day, in 1974, I came into this world. Sadly, not much has changed since then. Well, I'm a good deal older, a lot heavier, and have better toys, but still. I'm still the same person I was at 4, or 5, or 10, or 16. But it's just another day. Nothing really special... just another day at work, another day of installing yet again, another day of driving 2 hours, working 8 - 10 hours, going home, eating dinner and going to bed.
People asked me if I had any special plans for today. Nope.. none. What should I do? Dana's at work, and it'll just be me and the dogs and cats. I may play on the radio a bit, but truth be told, I still have to finalize the practical exam I've been writing for my Linux class, so I'll go home and spend the rest of my Birtday doing exactly what I've been doing so far. Working...
But at least there's this:
