Good morning. It's supposed to be almost 90°F today. Really?! Didn't Mt. Washington get a foot of snow just early last week? Ah well, time to get up and get the family to Mass.
Back from a nice Mass & breakfast with the family. Just picked up Timothy from CCD. Sunny & 78°F outside. Time to break out some shorts. I think I need to work on the main floor wood stove now...
I'm researching whether to drop 3G & texting from my plan. It would cut my bill almost in half and nearly everywhere I tend to go has WiFi, 'cept on the road. Heck, even owning a 3G iPad [cough cough] would be less per month.
I'm also thinking of reducing my Netflix account since so much of what I want to see can be streamed to my computer or Wii.
Lastly I'm considering dropping XM satellite radio. Between podcasting and audio books, it's not getting the usage to justify its fee. I still think my audible.com subscription is well worth the $$.
It's been a spring cleaning kind of day. This afternoon I helped Michelle clean the siding mold on the north side of the house. Like moss on a tree, it just keeps coming back. After dinner I cleaned out the primary wood stove for the season. Michelle is at a mommy's night out. I just put the boys down to bed. Time to relax with my girls.
