1. We made the move and got digital phone to go with cable TV and Roadrunner cable Internet. The install guy arrived today and hooked up the digital to phone connection that gives all our phones glorious digital sound. Now we can call anyone in the U.S. of A. and talk for hours- for free.
2. As a downside to the digital hookup. We had to move some boxes around in the garage and two boxes of old books were found to be soaked from the outside sprinkler. It seems that the sprinkler nozzle was somehow misdirected and was aiming directly into the garage vent hole. Right on the books. Several were saved- but many were already mold infested and tossed quickly into the trash.
3. I made my award winning Chicken Vegetable soup today. Here's the recipe: One chicken breast (grilled then chopped), 4 cans chicken broth, 4 carrots, 2 stalks celery, 6 green onions, 1 yellow crook neck squash, 1/2 cup halved mushrooms, 6 stalks (w/ leaves) bok-choy, 1 cuop instant rice. Salt and pepper to taste. Bring to a boil, then let simmer for 45 minutes. And that's my secret!
4. It's youth group day!
5. I averted a serious i-pod problem when it locked up as I was synching it with the computer. Help was on the way... I called Erin and she told me how to reset it.
Bonus: I listened to the President's State of the Union Address last night. Let me start out by saying that I support W. and voted for him both times. Two things I noticed: Nancy Pelosi is going to be a fine speaker of the house. She was composed, polite and articulate. The second thing is that the Prez is going to be in for a long two years. He isn't backing down an inch and although he said he wants to work with Congress across party lines, I think it means he wants them to come over to his side of the aisle. I like many of the President's ideas (energy, immigration and even Iraq) but what the hell was he saying about healthcare and health insurance? I mean his ideas was almost as complicated as Hillary's were when she bungled universal health care as first lady. I guess I don't understand... let's just make it mandatory that everyone has it and pay for it by taxing the tobacco, liquor and beer companies! After all- most of the reasons you need to see a doctor center around using one of the products of these three industries.
Remember... Life's journey is not to arrive at the grave safely in a well preserved body- but rather to skid in sideways, totally worn out, shouting "holy s***...what a ride!" ----->Don't let your tombstone read: Died at 30- Buried at 80.
