I should have written sooner… lots going on:

We had a bit of an electrical problem last week: 1/2 of the house was only giving 100v at the outlets, which really screwed up my computers. Luckily, the UPS’s kicked in and took over, giving me enough time to shutdown. National Grid came out, changed some fuse, gave me some extras, and I gave them $5 in Tim Hortons bucks. They were very grateful; I should pick up some more, just to keep around for special “thank yous”.

Friday night, Becca and I went out and bought a new TV. I don’t think the guys at Best Buy work on commission… the kind folks at Circuit City definitely do. Either that, or the Circuit City people are just plain nicer. Anyway, they got my business. We now have a JVC 32″ LCD HDTV, which is very nice. I’m not used to the start-up time (do all HDTVs have a 10-second start-up?). We added this HD Antenna and now get NBC, CBS, ABC, FOX, PBS and a couple other stations in HD. The picture quality is amazing - I can’t wait to watch LOST in HD tonight.

The XBox is now working - again, in HD - and in full color. Ray tells me he has Tiger Woods golf, so I’ve been building up my player so we can play against each other, as soon as I get hooked up on XBox Live.

Easter was Sunday, and the house was crazy - imagine that: a holiday were the kids have chocolate for breakfast, and the house is crazy. I wonder why.

On Monday I ordered my weather station, which should be here next week Monday. I was hoping it’d be here by Friday, so I could put it together this weekend, but it doesn’t look like it So I’ll post more on that when it comes.

Finally, I felt like crap yesterday and laid down after lunch, to see if a little rest would make me feel better. Nearly 3 hours later, I woke up, just in time for dinner. I guess I wasn’t feeling too well after all. Feeling better today, and made it to the gym this AM, which is hard when nobody else gets up early with me.

Off to work!
