Alright, so we took the plunge. Given the size of my raise, and a sale that Dell is running until this Wednesday, we moved up our time frame of getting a new PC.
With mega-help from David, we decided on a Dell instead of the MAC. There were two options for both. The low end option from MAC was the same price as the high end option from Dell. Plus, we get a 20 inch flat screen monitor (yes, that says 20 inch monitor) and extras like a CDRW/DVD Rom. I also added a couple of upgrades per David’s suggestions that bumped the price up a total of $100. I had wanted to get a new printer too, seeing as the low end Dell option had a great Inkjet photo printer for only $39! ...

Here are a couple of quotes … OK, so one is a song lyric, that I came across today.
The percentage you’re paying is too high-priced
While you’re living beyond all your means
And the man in the suit has just bought a new car
From the profit he’s made on your dreams
— lyrics from the song “Low Spark of High Heeled Boys” by Traffic
Thinking about this, it is what many of may be doing these days. Heck, we are all paying TOO MUCH for gas right now. Anyway, someone at work had this song was a mp3 file, so I have been listening to it.
And the second:
What happened to you? You look in worse...

As I have mentioned a few times, our PC has not been working. It has been close to a month now that we haven’t even attempted to do anything with it. I will be ordering a new one today (as a matter of fact) from Dell. Just can’t take the unreliability of our current one.
Anyway, we will be leaving for Detroit tomorrow for a week, and I wanted to get the pictures off of the digital camera. So I took it with me to work to upload them.
These first two pictures are of Nigel eating applesauce for the first time. Though actually the second one is a spoonful of rice cereal, I thought it was a cute picture.

Squeaked out a victory this week. Beat Vancouver by 13 points. What added to the excitement was that one of my benched players scored 134, which would have been the highest on my team. That being Matthew Richardson of the Richmond Tigers, who came up with 3 goals and 12 marks, really pushing up his score. Oh well. It doesn’t matter how much I win by, just as long as I keep winning. Including the games at the end of last season, I have now won eleven in a row.
There is a push that if all sixteen teams stick around next year that we will expand the playoffs to eight. As it is now, only the top four teams qualify, so I...
