I’m an uncle!

February 28, 2004

This is long overdue, but earlier this week my brother-in-law and his wife had their first baby, Nicholas. I’m proud to be an uncle, although I haven’t met him yet. My wife got to see him, though. Congrats to the happy couple and here’s hoping they can get some sleep!

The Ultimate 1970s Project

February 18, 2004

As some of you might remember, I finished up a project about a year ago that I dubbed “The Ultimate Oldies Collection”. It started several years ago, but I really started putting organized effort into it in May 2002. By April 2003, I had about 500 songs that represented the best of pop/rock [...]

Star Wars on DVD – which version?

Well, this is old news already, by internet standards, but it was officially announced today that the original Star Wars trilogy will arrive on DVD on September 21 this year.

Also, I am selling my Olympus C-2020Z digital camera. [...]

Surgery snuck up on me

February 2, 2004

I had surgery today. I kind of forgot it was coming until last night. Had to call this morning to double-check what time I was supposed to show up. Got there at 9:30 and got out at 12:30. I had one procedure done four times (once each on four different teeth). [...]

Super TV

February 1, 2004

I don’t like football. And if you know me, I didn’t have to tell you that. You’ll already know that the only reason I even tune in to the channel that’s showing the Super Bowl is to see the sometimes entertaining commercials.
Well… goodness me. I may sit and watch the whole thing. [...]
