Nothing too exciting here.  Glenn keeps growing and learning.  It is very cute waking up in the morning to “Daddy, where are you?” He has been very picky about eating lately, more than usual, but at least he is eating.  He is just full on energy, that’s for sure.  I could not imagine chasing after one of these things at 40+ all day long.

In other news, updated to WordPress 1.7.  Layout is much better and modern looking.  Flash uploader is actually more broken then previous versions (windows or Linux, ie or Firefox)).  Maybe it is just my installation, but I doubt it.  But they did include an auto updater, which is a plus, instead of installing your own plugin.

No new tech for me recently, just sticking to watches.  No complicated configuration or files to update when your watch gets its energy from a spring.  I keep my tech until it breaks or does not meet my needs anymore.  Keeps life simpler.  To be honest, the only tech that intrigues me is the new breed of netbooks.  But, I look at screens way too much, so it is really not that tempting.

Speaking of simpler, over the last year we have gotten rid of endless stuff around the house, too much to list.  You really have to ask yourself, if I haven’t used this item in the last 5 years, will I ever use it again?  The money is already spent, so just get rid of the darn thing.  The basement looks great, which is a good thing.

I know I am sick of one thing, and that is hearing about our governor,  Blagojevich.  Yeah, he is probably a crooked bastard, so why did we re-elect him in 2006 and not impeach him before?  Ah, the joys of living in Illinois.

Christmas and our anniversary are almost here.  It’s going to be six years this year.   I can truly say they have been the best years of my life.

And, finally, a note about the weather.  It has been a wild winter so far.  Early snow, lots of cold, and today, 45 MPH+ winds.  I hope this old house stands up to another windstorm.
