not a whole lot going on right now. It's been rainy and cold these last couple of days. That makes for some fun driving to and from work here in st. louis. I'm still looking for contacts from my dad's vietnam service time. I got a hold of a person who remembered him slightly. No stories or anything, but that's cool I didn't expect much hopefully he may have some names of people who recollect him. I need to start scheduling some more interviews with some aunts and uncles...hopefully i can get that stuff done aroung christmas. I have a day off tomorrow and hopefully i can get some stuff done on my dad's project. I have plans on redoing the graphic design portion of travishoffman.com hopefully something nice in Flash...but i'm not holding my breath on that one. Well. Oh just in case you were wondering that church is the church my mom and dad got married in. I love the architecture of churches. Anyways, laters.

Alright alright. Happy turkey day yesterday. We headed up to quincy and had thanksgiving. Good food, good times. Headed back home today..friday... Not much new to report. I met up with Dan yesterday to look at what he had going for the monopoly movie. He's got a great start. We tossed around a few ideas and I put my two cents in here and there. I think this will work out well. I'm still cruising in the PT cruiser till the magnum is out of the shop...hopefully by the end of the week. Driving up to quincy wednesday night was no fun whatsoever, what usually takes two and a half hours ended up taking about four. Good times....it was snowy and there were wrecks, as well as just backed up trafffic. Plus we took april's 92 accord. I'm so used to making the trip in the magnum that is was quite an adjustment. All is well thought got to and back in one piece. I've been pretty lazy today and plan on doing the same for sat. and sunday. I'm digging this four day weekend...damn it feels like a sunday though, oh well. I have a nice lead on the project i'm doing on my dad. i came across a webpage that is like a vietnma scrapbook, and I found a picture of my dad on it. I'm in the process of trying to get a hold of someone from his division who knew him. I'm not expecting much, but since I know very little about his time in vietnam anything will be great in my book. Well I'm gonna call it at that. Peace Love...and pleasant digestion of all your thanksgiving foods.

Sunday evening...i have somewhat of a sense of accomplishment today. I have successfully uploaded Interview with Mr. Stu Ffed to it's own webpage at travishoffman.com. I've also uploaded both of my music albums to travishoffman.com's music section. Tommorow morning i take the magnum in to get fixed. Thanksgiving is looming around the corner. We're heading up to quincy for turkey day. I'm looking forward to Mom's oyster dressing. Speaking of food, man I made some corned beef the other day...that was some good stuff, i've been eating the heck out of it. My project on my father is slowly making progress I interviewed my mother, sister, andgrandmother the other weekend . There's still alot to do but i'm not going to rush it. This Saturday I'm heading to Hannibal to meet Dan to see the progress and production of the new bearded llama production a comedy piece about the board game monopoly. I'm taking a backseat to this production, and am just going to handle some filming and the editing. It's Dan's baby, and I have no problems with that at all. I have plenty on my plate anyways. Eventually I will have a couple of pages up on travishoffman.com pertaining to Bearded Llama Productions as a description and a rundown of the monopoly flick in the early stages. Well, that's really about all I know. Chow for now.

Been a while. Yeah so i got my magnum all dinged up in a wreck. that was about a week ago. It stings.....alot. I got broadsided making a right turn. It was one of those freaky incidents that only happen once in a blue moon. I had no idea there was anyone behind me...i still don't know where they came from. But that's all in the past now. Gotta tell you though, i wouldn't recommend it with a dodge ram behind you. So i got a great big nasty scratched up divot above my back right wheel-well as well as the back of the rear door....as a big old dent in the front passenger door. I'm getting it in to be fixed in a couple of weeks so that'll be good November definately didn't get off to a good start you know with Bushy and everything and my damaged car. I haven't made much progress on my pojects including the stu Ffed project which i just need to get onto a dvd otherwise it's all done. I'm still in the massive scanning phase of the project on my dad is still under way. Probably will be for a while. Well the cat has this obsession with tearing the crap out of toilet paper...kleenex...pretty much anything she can bite. I don't know what her deal is lately. Well I really need to do something productive. So that'll do it for now
