Life is such a sweet insanity.
I love life and people. This is a place where I can write down what's happening, what I'm thinking, what I'm seeing and what I'm feeling. After all, life is just one blog entry after another.Saturday, September 20, 2003
The weekend.
It's a Saturday night and I ain't got nobody... Now we all know that's pure horsepuckey! Earl and I are working on our computers late on a Saturday night - ah, the joys of married life! I'm kidding of course. After 7 1/2 years, I am delighted to say that we are blissfully happy.
Last night we went to the movies and saw "Secondhand Lions". We both enjoyed it very, very much... one of our favorites this year. Definitely a DVD buy. Before the movie was a trailer for "Good Boy", a kids movie about talking dogs from Sirius. Kind of cute, but I must say I found the talking poodle saying "Can we just talk about how pretty I am" in this wild voice most humorous. I can't wait to yuck it up at work with the same line on Monday!
The remnants of Hurricane Isabel blew through Thursday night and all day Friday. Came home to a little bit of a surprise - a huge tree trunk in the middle of our lawn. Fun part? When it fell, it pulled the powerlines to the house down with it, ripping the line off the side of the house and depositing it in the front yard. I was glad to see that we still had power. The meter was lying face down in the shrubbery, but it was still ticking along. We didn't go near the wires, but called Niagara Mohawk (our power company). They came today and restrung everything. Tomorrow Earl and I will be out there with a chainsaw cleaning up the mess.
Today we took a drive to Syracuse to get a few things at CompUSA. Unfortunately, they didn't have the modem I needed for my computer. So I'm making do with my external modem, which explains why weather isn't currently available on the site. I only have one serial port... and right now it's dedicated to the modem.
Earl and I talked it over and decided that the DirecPC satellite connection really wasn't worth the expense, so we ditched it. I'm back on dialup, which isn't a real big deal since the speed was about the same anyway.
Since we're not entertaining the satellite anymore, I was able to switch over to Linux full time here on my home desktop. Let's see how this goes, especially during web page development! :)
