I’ve tried to write a new post three times now, and just couldn’t get the traction. But here’s the highs and the lows since Friday:
Furnace breakage costs just under 600 dollars. (most decidedly low)
Repair included a workman’s knee going through the sheetrock in the ceiling of our laundry room. (limbo low)
Furnace is fixed. (coming back)
Repairman for ceiling is working as I write this. (better)
Played Super Mario 64 all weekend with wife and kids. (nice!)
Joined a new church and immediately was swept up in the choir. (warm feelings inside)
Listened to some BOL, TWiT, and Amber (which is back from hiatus, yay Amber). (oh yeah, love that tech)
So all in all, I’m in an upswing. I see Brian has played hours of Gutiar Hero III, so I expect a review from him soon, and maybe a chance to play with him if I can get over to his house soon.

Wow, so let me go ahead and review a number of things in order of appearance as I visited Brian’s on Friday:
- Brian - excellent friend, met me right at the door and just is a super host.
- Gryphon - Brian’s dog, a good little puppy who also met me at the door. Prolly needs his own twitter feed.
- Lisa - Brian’s excellent wife, way cool and solid nacho cheese provider.
- The big LG wide screen and surround sound combo - Wow! The true home theater in a reasonable footprint.
- Planet Earth HD DVD by the BBC - Brian went to show me what high definition looked like, and we ended up watching the whole episode. Simply Amazing.
- Guitar Hero/GH II/GH Encore - Fun, but definitely more fun in multiplayer than in single mode. Nintendo Wii - It’s just plain fun. Thought of how fun it would be watching my kids play it.
- Brian’s cadre - Brian has a great circle of friends who are always good natured. God bless ‘em. Otherwise, It’s a new duck that’s amuck over in the sidebar. I need to update my Donations and Ducks Over Time pages so watch for that to happen shortly.
