ahh yes. i spoke to phil yesterday. he and his wife spent some time in Peru / Machu Picchu. said it was fantastic.
some great days have passed recently
nothing specific, but have had good work and personal experiences recently. they come in waves, along with bad days, but it has been very nice.
is raining today. to the point where there was no sunrise whatsoever. total grey. but, it can't fool me. i know that we're getting more sunlight every day. about 3 minutes more, per day. in fact, next friday our sunset moves to 5:30PM. that's a significant milestone. and, daylight savings time isn't too far away. think we'll have a party to celebrate 6pm sunset, and then another for daylight savings time (when sunset goes immediately from 6:45pm to 7:45pm), when summer, and boating, really gets started.
you should check out this seattle webcam. it is a constantly updating view of puget sound. since i don't have windows in my work office, i check it from time to time to see what the weather picture looks like. he does a great job.

went on a bit of a consumer binge over the last few days. bought an exercise machine for my Karen. is an elliptical cross-trainer machine, or something along those lines. She wanted a stair master, but i just can't stand those. so, i tried to pick a happy medium. the movement combines running/walking/climbing with arm involvement for a supposedly great workout. can't wait for it to arrive. also, i bought a laptop at the amazon company store -- is a refurbed sony vaio -- and then... most exciting... i bought and set up a Linksys Wireless Network. Now I can work anywhere in the house on the laptop, and I love it! I highly recommend it to anyone/everyone.
Also, I'm looking at buying a road bike. At first, I was positive that I'd buy a traditional road bike, but now I'm thinking possibly a recumbent. Benefits are 'easier on the back/butt' and you get a better view of where you're going. I'll have to try one out before spending even more $$$.
Spent the last few days sick. Not crazy sick. But, sick nonetheless. Headachey, stomach pains, etc. Maybe has something to do with the binge night out at the Croc last thursday. Haven't felt right since then.
