For all my Facebook friends, I am just taking a break. My hobbies were suffering and it is too distracting, so I am taking some time off of it. If you need your Dave fix, I have a twitter feed at :

Hopefully now I can update my watch blog and cyberphreak.com.
Well, I must say this Thanksgiving is a lot better than last year and I actually have a lot to be thankful for.
- My Dad is doing much better this year, physically and mentally. This time last year, he was in the hospital, now he is walking well on his own and looks much better, years younger and many pounds lighter.
- I feel much better now. The clots must of been slowly accumulating for a while. I can breath, walk, run up stairs, and I can smell. This time last year, I was exhausted most of the time. I thought it was stress and too much weight, but it was the chronic pulmonary embolism.
- Our kitchen remodel is done. It was a lot of decisions, but it turned out even better than I thought it would be. All of the colors work great together and it is as beautiful as it is practical.
- Glenn is in kindergarten and learning a lot. Some behavior things here and there, but he is an active little boy, and to be expected. He loves being around other kids.
- Tiffany is well this year, no sinus infections and is very happy the kitchen is done
I am very glad that the second half of this year is better than the first half. It was the first time I have ever been admitted to a hospital. I hope the remainder of the year is uneventful.
Happy Thanksgiving Everyone!
Hat
I have on a bit of a hat bender in the last few months. Funny, I never thought of myself as a hat person, but after getting my ears and back of my neck burned one too many times, broke down and got a hat.
As a bit of clarification, baseball ‘hats’ are actually caps. What’s the difference? A had has a brim that goes around the circumference of the head, a cap has only a brim or bill that covers part of the circumference, ideally to protect the eyes, but often worn backwards for fashion. What I got was a hat.
My first hat:
An L.L.Bean “Adventure” hat. Technically, it is a Boonie hat. It is a commonly worn by military forces around the world during the summer months. It provides great protection from the sun, is lightweight, and in this version, insect resistance. A great, informal, working hat that gets the job done. But, the madness didn’t stop there. After building up confidence wearing this hat all last summer, I decided to take the plunge into a fedora.
My second hat:
My third hat:
An Ultrafino Panama hat. This is basically a fedora made out of lightweight material. It is a blocked hat, so I will try not to crush it too much. It is a more formal hat, with a traditional pleated puggaree. It is a super light hat and stays on pretty darn well, even is windy condition.
Wearing hats makes me realize why they went out of fashion, most look pretty silly when worn with t-shirts and jeans, the standard clothing for most Americans. I usually wear button down shirts and don’t even own a pair of jeans, so I can wear a hat and not look too foolish. Another reason I see why hats went out of style is cars now all have safety headrests. Great of avoiding whiplash, kind of annoying when it comes to the brim of your hat rubbing against it.
Any other hat wearers out there?
