Back in the kick of things

I just did the smartest thing I've ever done in my life. I ordered the upgraded sports pack with directTV. Now I get about 30 sports channels including most of the regional Fox Sports channels, and more importantly Fox Soccer Channel. I have already instructed my DVR to record all Premiership games that come on. This moring I watched Fulham (one of my current favorites to watch) play some tough football to gain a draw against a slumping Chelsea in west London. Its huge for Fulham to get a point on the road at one of the best clubs, and its a huge dissapointment for Chelsea to only get one and lose more ground to Man U. Best of all, I watched it on my DVR so I could fast forward through breaks in the action, set ups on corners, etc. I only hope that I have enough time to keep up with the EPL as much as possible this year.

Will it blend?

have you ever looked at something and thought "I wonder what would happen if I put that in a $825 blender"? Stop what you are doing and go straight to willitblend.com Click on "Don't try this at home," and watch in amazement.

Wireless Blogging

Thanks to my new Macbook Pro Laptop and my brother getting me the new Verizon Wireless Broadband express card, I am now back on the internet. I never thought I would be blogging totally wireless, but I am doing it right now. I feel like a time traveller living in the not so distant future. I know that wireless internet has existed for quite some time, but the speed (or lack thereof) didn't seem practical to me. This new express card is even faster than I thought it would be. Don't get me wrong, Cable broadband is still much faster, but this remarkably close. Now, for all you know, I am writing this anywhere. In my car... in the back yard.. on the toilet... wherever. Just thought I would share my joy with you all.

Happy Christmas Eve

Merry almost Christmas. This has been an exciting week. It was good to see Jimmie and Christina with their son, Dillon. They were nice enough to make time to come by our new place this weekend. Our other exciting news is that we got a new dog.

His name is Koda, and he is a 13 month old aussie-border collie mix. He stays with me all day on the farm, and then follows Julie around the house all night. Later in the evening, he likes to sit at my feet with his bone while I watch TV. Needless to say, we have already gotten very close to him.
Anyway, hope everyone has a very good holiday. I hope to see some of you in Bakersfield on wednesday.
