Deep Thoughts

Did anyone notice...

It's snowing in the mountains!!! I'm ready to try out my new alpine boots. I also want to buy some new telemark boots, but I think I spent the money on a DVD player. Oh well.

With skiing season upon us, I'll try to fire up my hot tub this weekend. I wonder if it still works?

Lisa & Chris

Lisa & Chris got married this past Saturday. I'll try to post a picture this weekend.

Changes

So Eugene moved out on Saturday. Helping him move and a hard drive failure on my computer kept me from blogging in a while. To console myself over the loss of an incredible entertainment system (and a pretty decent roommate), I went out and bought a big screen TV. I was looking forward to it's scheduled delivery today until Eugene talked me into buying his TV. Which was already moved to his new place but wouldn't fit into his basement. So now I'm awaiting the homecoming of my new (but old in a way) TV. Eugene's soon to be former TV is an inch smaller than the one I bought/returned but it has a much better picture. One problem with buying Eugene's TV is that in one sense, it's not really a new toy for me. Not that I watched it all that much while it was here, but it was here for well over a year. Sort of takes all the fun out of buying a new toy. I did however buy some matching new toys: a Sony HD-300 HD DirecTV Receiver and a Samsung DirecTV Tivo Receiver. I've used Eugene's Tivo in the past but only to watch stuff he had recorded. Now that I'm in control, I can already see how this will begin to change my life. I'll no longer miss This Week with George Stephanopolous (sp?) and This Week on Sunday mornings when I go to the gym. I've got the Tivo hooked up to one satellite input now but once I add a second, I'll be able to record two shows at once. West Wing and Angel being scheduled at the same time will no longer be a problem!

I also orded an Arcam DV78 DVD Player which should arrive within a week. Now I just have to go buy the Special Extended Version of Two Towers and I'll be all set. I need to complete my home theatre system with surround sound but it will be a while before I can afford it after this spending spree. As is, I'll be sitting on the floor watching TV--since I don't have any money left to buy furniture...

Just noticed that I received my first comment from a reader! Now there's that much more pressure to blog on a more frequent basis.

And welcome Matthew!

Mary and Bill just added a second boy to their family this morning, 4 November 2003. William Matthew you've got a tough act to follow in your older brother Josh but I'm sure you'll do just fine. No picture yet of Matthew but I'll post one as soon as I receive it.

Here's a picture!

Welcome to the world, Jenson!

Kristin & Greg have added a bouncing baby boy to their family on Friday, 31 October 2003. Hello Jenson, I look forward to meeting you.
