What’s left of it, anyway. To those of you celebrating in the American manner…have a great time, but remember taxis are your friend! To those of you celebrating in another manner…have a great time! For those of you who, like myself, have discovered that you have gotten entirely too old to deal with a bunch of drunken idiots and so are staying home after having a nice dinner with family…there are worse things!

Or at least all but the piles at the corners of the driveway and sidewalk. It rained for most of yesterday and melted it all away! I couldn’t be more excited…it’s no secret if you’ve followed these posts for more than ten minutes that I hate winter. I’m sure we’ve still got one more snowstorm in store since that’s how it works here, but for now it’s been near 50F and my daffodils are almost blooming. I’ll take it!

It happens sometimes. I sit here staring at a blank screen for several minutes and nothing leaps to mind. So…reviews. I’ll try to make this one a touch longer than normal, since if I get to a second post it will be very late. New equipment at work makes for much longer hours to program it.

Congratulations, Canada! I thought you had us for a while there, and it turns out you finally did. But in the mean time, I have decided if someone wants to do a medical study where they hook up hockey fans to an EKG, they might learn a LOT! Great game, and we’ll see you next time.

I was entering channels last night looking for Olympic coverage even though I know I only pay for the very basic cable TV package, and much to my amazement I now have expanded basic! I have no idea when or how that might have happened, and I’m a little afraid to see my next bill, but for now, I have 70-some channels instead of the 30-some I normally can view! The only thing I can figure is this is the free service advertised because it took several visits to fix the problem with my internet (which, by the way, was never actually fixed by anyone who came, it just started working again) rather than it being fixed on the first one. Whatever it is, my TV viewing possibilities at 3am when I’m not sleeping have expanded greatly, and I love it!
