Since I have time on my hands, here's a brief update on life.
- I've been playing tennis with Lizzy almost every evening, now that the weather is so nice and we have 'our own' tennis courts where we live. Last night was the first time anyone else was actually on the courts besides us!
- I've read a tonne over books over the summer. (I always list them in my Vox library, if anyone cares. I do it for my own reference so I can see what I've read, because I read so much and forget so quickly.) I only have a few more to go and then I'll be 'done' until next summer, most likely.
- The 'Twilight' series (Stephenie Meyer) was really good and definitely sucked me in. 'The Host' did not suck me in, and yet when all was said and done... it might even be better than Twilight. Maybe. :) I've found out it's going to be a series, too!
- Still no power in many places in Louisville, though they're reporting now that only 108,000 or so are left without power. Only.
- Louisville (UofL) might not be as terrible at football this year as I'd feared. Maybe. I guess it depends which Cantwell shows up, and if Anderson (176 yards, 3 TDs against Kansas State) can keep it up. The Big East is really weak this year, aside from South Florida. There haven't been any conference games yet, though.
- Looking forward to Ubuntu 8.10 on 30 October
- Looking even more forward to (hopefully) my new phone on 19 October
- Which reminds me, I'm now a Sprint Premier customer, a VIP. I get special perks because I've been with Sprint for 10 years now. This VIP thing has only been around since the end of last year.
- Exactly five weeks until my birthday. Wow, I didn't even know it fell on a Friday this year!
- I did know, however, that Christmas falls on a Thursday this year. I've already asked off for that Wednesday and Friday, to give me a five-day weekend.
- Now's a good time to plug the Envail Wishlist.
- And a good time to offer up the services of EnvailMail again.
- The new Weezer album is pretty good. The new Staind album is even better. Neither are great.
Happy Easter, everyone!!!
So... who else out there is working today? I thought hardly anyone had today off, but it seems like all my friends and family do. Who else is with me? hehe
Audio: What's your favorite carol or holiday song?
'O Holy Night' -- the 'fall on your knees' part gives me goosebumps. I love that song.
What is your favorite dish on the Thanksgiving table?
Crescent rolls! And turkey and gravy! And just... the whole experience! And exclamation points!
How are you celebrating Halloween today?
Well, it's actually my mother-in-law's birthday (cue the witch jokes), so we're having my in-laws over for dinner. We bought a bag of candy to pass out, too. There are like three brazillion (cue the Bush jokes) kids in our neighbourhood, yet we hardly seem to need any candy each year. I don't know what's up with that. I guess they all go trick-or-treat elsewhere!
Have you figured out what your (or your kids') Halloween costume will be this year? What's it going to be?

What are your plans for the weekend?
Today, I had to give blood (ugh ugh ugh!) and stuff because I'm getting life insurance. Then Tracey and I went hiking at Bernheim again. We took pictures of the fish and some turtles in the pond/lake. After that, we went and saw 'Spider-Man 3' in the theatre. We went to Wal*Mart and I got ice cream and cookies (necessities, y0), and then we went and checked out our lot to see if it needed mowed (it didn't).
Tomorrow, we're going to church at 11:30am instead of our usual 9am mass, so we can sleep in one day this weekend. That's about our only plan, really, as far as I know.
Monday, we're all going boating with Tracey's parents'. That'll be the whole day, more or less.
And that's that.
Happy Easter from Tracey and I! Hope you all have a great Easter Sunday!!
Who or what do you really love?
I love God, I love my wife, I love my family, and I love my friends!
