The holidays are over. Reality returns. We went to Zehnder's in Frankenmuth for New Years Eve

It was an early night but a good one. I was up until 12 but not much longer.
Christmas was very good this year. I am having a ball with all this computer stuff. Right now, I am listening to a 60 minute article on geeks and living with technology. I am doing lots with my network. I do seem to be falling behind though. For example, I just heard on this sixty minutes program that 3 refrigerators now talk to the internet or have wireless connections. I saw an add for a digital picture frame that ran wirelessly too. That should be fun. I presume that this picture frame talks to picasa. I think all this talking to things will work well in the end but be durn near useless in the beginning. I don't need to have my refrigerator set the time on my microwave so much but I sure would have liked to have my computer show me a video on how the put the stop light bulb in my 2004 LaSabre. I would like to have the car get me the right bulb to replae the old ones too. Of course, the real answer is an LED bulb that never burns out. Then I will never have to change it.
Have a great day.
I build one in about two hours. There are many ways this could get faster but it never seems to happen.
We went to Sue's mother's for Trick or Treating. We only had about 25 kids. That's a slow night. The costumes were great however.
Eugene Palmreuter finished taking the sugar beets off the field today. I am always amazed at the amount of material that has to be moved in that process.

I love Enya's music. She seems to have the spirit that I love so much in Celtic music.
How formal that title sounds when what I will be talking about is how my back hurts after lifting one hundred landscape blocks and putting some of them into position down underneath the deck on the house.
You can be sure this was Sue's idea. What's worse is the it is another good one. Myself, I probably would have just mowed the grass. Anyway, she is right about laying landscape blocks being a quick and somewhat fun process.
It also gives me a chance to use some of the tools I got at different garage sales. I used the tamper, several shovels and, of course, the laser level. Looks like it will turn out.
On another note, Ryan McRoy went home yesterday. This place will be duller without him. Ryan is my sister Linda's son. It was great to spend the time with him.
