After contemplating buying an iPod since last fall, I finally made the purchase last week. Target.com had sent me a 10% discount coupon and that motivated me to make the move. A hectic weekend and business dinner last night kept me away from it. Tonight I am transferring some of my CD’s to it. With my goal to walk 5 nights a week, it seemed…

Party Clean-up Day
Last night we had a group of our bear friends over for the first picnic of the year. Although it was flurrying and about 30, we got into the summer mood and BBQ’d. It was a nice group of about 10. It was also pretty easy for us since we only grilled the meat dishes and folks brought salads and desserts. We were glad to…
Starting the countdown today…
10 work days remaining before our Hawaiian cruise. The Pied Piper Yahoo Group for our cruise has been finally heating up. Only a handful of folks had been chatting. Now many are. It looks like a great group of about 100 or so. Today, Carrie and Jutta, a lesbian couple from California who were on our Alaskan cruise, signed on. It will be good to…
No Excuses
After one hectic week, I finally had a free night to myself. Having no excuses, I did 20 minutes on the treadmill. I was aiming for 30 🙁 It’s so easy to get out of the exercise habit. Last week I walked our neighborhood for 45 minutes. I wish this damn Ohio weather would break. Oh well, maybe next week. Meanwhile, Brett continues his quest…
T.G.I.F.
What a week. Brett was in Miami, cable, phone and security wasn’t working. UGH! Well, Brett’s home and we’re almost back to normal. I am sure that Brett will have everything operational by this afternoon. We’re spending a nice weekend with our pals Greg and Lou in Columbus and taking Brett’s family out to dinner on Sunday for his mom’s birthday. We are going to…
Frustrating Week
Well, going on our 3rd day with no web access and phone at home. A series of thunderstorms left us without RoadRunner, phone and a broken security system on Monday. ADT fixed the security yesterday. I’ve been on the phone so many times with Time Warner that I can’t even begin to count them. Yesterday morning I finally talked to a customer Service Rep who…
Embarrasssing Photo for March
Yesterday was church directory photo day at St. Mark. The technology changes, but the routine never does. I figure I need to give some color to this blog. So, I am going to include and embarrassing photo of the month. Here’s an appropriate one. What was my mother thinking? It truly is an em-BARE-ASS-ing photo!
