Happy Birthday Mom & Dad
Chris thought that it would be a good idea for us to make it to our Parents for their birthdays this year, and last weekend was the time. I drove out to Portland after work and got on a plane, and 1.5 hours later was in San Fransisco International airport with no way of meeting up with Chris. After wandering around near the Alaska air counter for an hour, I finally got a page from Chris on the white courtesy phone, and we met up.
I mention this, because I used to be much more organized before I had a cell phone. Now that I do not have a cell phone (temporarily) I realize how much I depend on it.
Anyway, the weekend went pretty well. We spent most of one day setting up an HDTV (minus the HDTV box, which we forgot to order) and most of the second day setting up Macintosh toys (OS X Tiger, Garage Band, and two new iPod Nanos).
So... I now need a new HDTV, a Nano, Garage Band, a Mac Laptop, and an M Audio keyboard. I figure going home last weekend set me back about $3000 in future expenses.
Ach. Well, I'm poor right now, so not much risk of any of that actually getting purchased. But - it's going on the list of crap to buy when we finally sell the condo.
In other news, I am still alive, but I'm really busy at work and can't read / post from there right now. I'm hoping that in the next few months I can get it all under control there, but right now there is really just time for work. I do have a laptop at home again, though, so as soon as I find my wireless card I should be able to work online a bit more. Right now I can only get online on the couch, which is OK but I'd rather be over there (in the chair...)
