First Thoughts - 2/27/2006

I'm trying to do a few things online this evening (pay the mortgage bill, transfer funds, start this blog, chat with people...), and our dial-up is ridiculously slow. It says we have a 49kbps speed right now, and usually we're happy with that. At the moment I think it's lying. There's no way this is running at 49kbps. It's got to be better than this tomorrow.

My brother got tickets today for us to get to Opening Day at the Ballpark (I refuse to call it Ameriquest Field). Rangers vs Red Sox. Probably Millwood vs Schilling. I can smell the hot dogs already!

I gave blood today. My 61st pint. I hope there are plenty more in me to give over the years.

The sink in the kitchen is backed up. I took the U-joint (is that what it's called?) off, and I didn't see any problem there. I've dumped a fair amount of Liquid Plumber in there and chased it 15 minutes later with boiling water. We'll see how that goes in the morning.

Anyway, it's late, and I need to get some rest. I just saw the Blogger on Google and thought I'd see what it is. Maybe I'll be back to write more...maybe not. I have no idea.

Good night.
