New Snow Tires
Good morning! Got off to a bit of a late start today. I dropped the girls off at school and then head to Cafe on the Oval for a quick breakfast. As I was leaving the restaurant I remembered that I'd forgotten my badge (for the 2nd day in a row!) so swung by the house again. Then needed to stop for a fillup of diesel as I was running low.
Listened to a bit of the Thanksgiving Day episode of No Agenda for a while and then caught up with my dad the rest of the commute. Now sipping a tall mug of Tazo "Awake" tea while catching up on the ~100 overnight emails. I tell ya', every morning is like of a firehose.
Kindle Lights a Fire Under Video Use -- Big Uptick in First Five Days. So far my impressions of the Kindle Fire are kind of mixed. I knew I wasn't much of a tablet guy anyway, but it seems to be working well.
The Dark Side Of The Moon - Experience Version is $1.99 at AmazonMP3. Should I dim the lights in my office today? ;-P
After 5 seasons on the old snow tires, ordered a set of 4 Michelin Pilot Alpin PA3's to be installed next week Monday Friday.
A big Milford townie and active parishioner at St. Patricks, Wilfred A. “Willie” Leduc, died last week. (related link)
Making plans for another business training trip to San Diego next month
Watching Gizmodo go apoplectic that the Apple's iPhone 4S Siri can't streamline how to find a nearby abortion clinic: (related link) Sacrebleu!
RT @iowahawkblog: “I've been completely, 100% monogamous since my wedding day. Dammit.” #Iowahawk2012 (referring to the Cain scandal)
Left work on the late side. Listened to more of No Agenda on the drive north. Just got back and am interested in dinner.
Claire was asking me about a song they could use when they reenact the murder scene in Macbeth. With my limited music background, I suggested either Battle Without Honor or Humanity by Tomoyasu Hotei or Carmina Burana by Carl Orff. Any other good ideas anyone?
Got the boys tucked in bed with their prayers. Michelle 'n the girls are watching episode 2 of “Once Upon a Time”. 'Tis been a long day. I'm calling it quits... G'Night all.
