The Monkey

^I fell asleep watching that while at CJ. How was it?

Funny how her iPhone starts acting up now. Pure coincidence! EDIT: and, btw, I also laid the foundation with Katie by claiming that my iPhone is "on the fritz."

Mike! Welcome back. How did the Ristretto perform?

Oooh! Hopefully I'll get one as a surprise!

My guess is this was a one-time thing. I don't think this "iphone" stuff will catch on.

This. Good.

I am waiting for Verizon, which I hope will be this year.

You don't mess around.

Well done, Gene.

Al, Montrachet is notoriously stupid--dumb blondes and all that jazz. Ben, why do you still have white burgundy from the '80s? That should have been consumed long ago instead of wasted.

I'm home sick again with the nasty bug that the Little Monkey brought home with him last Thursday. I haven't been sick like this in a while. Joy.

I remember that feeling well--it's tough. But it's a good reason to want to go home. What helped me during that transition was the thought that my goal at work was to be super efficient and task-oriented during the day so that I could get the hell out of there at a reasonable hour and get back home to my family.

I can see how that would be a lot of fun. I saw a hurling match between 2 town teams in Ireland a bunch of years ago. They did not much care for the other side--it was spectacular. Greg, did the bridge look close to ready for prime time?

Got Thunder?

I have mixed feelings about vegetables.

I like teh awesome.

But what about the pants?

Do the kindle, BN, etc. have illustrations? The various other e-readers are fine for me, but it would be great if something other than iBooks had something for the Little Monkey.

I like iBooks (reading them), but the iBookstore is utter fail, as is the selection.

I can understand people getting bored with baseball. I personally love it, but I played organized ball through a little bit of college. Games these days last far too long. Regardless, the lack of scoring in soccer is truly awful. Not just because it's boring (and it is extremely boring), but also because of the sheer futility of it. Make a nice run, cross, miss everyone, repeat. Or my personal favorite--run into the middle of the field and have a defender kick the shit out of the ball to no one in particular. I actually love soccer, but the game needs more scoring.

How long is the waiting list? Not that I have any intention of buying these.

Frank is cool.
