Sorry for the shameless plug, but I really think this is a great book. If Something Should Happen: How to Organize Your Financial and Legal Affairs includes so many useful worksheets that it’s easily worth the $10. Everyone should have a copy–it really protects your family and makes your untimely death easier for everyone.
Have I ever mentioned how great a show Sesame Street is? Certainly, no other children’s show could ever or will ever be able to pull off something as simple and wonderful as this.
Remember those mid-90s “rock” bands that had a slight country feel to them (Sister Hazel, Counting Crowes, etc.)? Not necessarily the twang, but just the instrumental arrangements and writing style. “Love Don’t Live Here” follows that formula to the T. I can’t quite decide if this is a country song or a rock song, but it doesn’t really matter too much. The lead singer’s voice has a nice tone to it and the song remains a pleasant romp. Nothing fancy here–it’s cookie cutter music, for sure. But it’s well done and has some nice moments at the end.
Grade: B+
Apple is working on a 3D display that can be viewed from any position and at any angle.
Now that’s really cool stuff!
No, they’re not a female version of The Killers. Although they are female and have a fairly similar name.
This is one of those songs that make you think something big is coming. It doesn’t necessarily “build,” but it’s just too boring to simply continue for the whole song. It’s not awful–I actually like the singer’s voice. But nothing happens. The lyrics are boring and the best we get is a silly drum roll. Sort of pathetic as far as singles go.
Grade: D
The Problem
The Solution
This is just a start, but it covers some of the major issues.

My last post is a great example of this. I should be sent to Mars for pointing out the problem with the FedEx, UPS, USPS, etc. situation without offering any proposed solution. Everyone can clearly understand the problem–people work from 8 to 5 everyday and can’t be home to get packages and other important mail. They can try to sign the paper forms left for them, but this only occasionally works. Carriers are worried that they can be held liable for damaged or stolen packages that they leave behind.
So what’s the solution?
I didn’t offer one, so I should be sent to Mars.

What’s the reason for my wrath today? Like I noted previously, package carriers hate me. This week, it’s trying to locate the mysterious Best Buy gift card that needed to be sent by UPS and requires a signature, in person. Signed the Info Notice–not good enough. Now I’m waiting for them to call me back so that I can drive 20 minutes to pick up the darn thing.
I’m not home any day until at least 6:00. I’m out the door by 6:45 am. I’m just not here during the day and I really doubt that I’m the only one that faces this predicament. However, while I’m certainly not alone, there sure doesn’t seem to be too many people complaining about this! Come on! There’s got to be a better solution than this. I understand that UPS, Fedex, and USPS workers need to get home too, but can’t we come to some sort of compromise?
Argh, too frustrating…
Eric and I decided to finally venture off the main road today and go on a more interesting walk through the woods. The first highlight was getting to the top of the waterfall that we see right off the road. One thing that’s sort of neat about the waterfall is that it is still frozen in parts:
This picture is from the top:
Next time we’ll go deeper into the woods.
…onto the NIT! Somehow, that doesn’t get me excited.
Hey, I have big expectations! Back-to-back Big East championships in 2005 and 2006, NCAA Champions in 2003, Sweet 16 in 2004, and, of course, making the tourney every year that I was there. Those are definitely glory days.
