Another Good Year

Well, Christmas is over and all went well. Mostly well, but we won't discuss the bad. Overall I had a great Christmas and it's finally over. Christmas at my mothers was good, no fighting, and the nieces and nephews actually behaved themselves. Unusual I know, but it was a good thing. My nephews are heathens, especially the youngest. I don't know how my sister deals with him.

By the way, I also turned 40 over the holiday weekend, had a great dinner on my birthday. I went to Landry's Seafood House and enjoyed an excellent seafood dinner.

I got the entire week off, so I will be upgrading my system to Windows Vista, just to see how everything looks and feels. With the upgraded video card, I should have no problems. I'll let you know how it works out. I already use IE 7, Media Player 11, and have some of the Vista features on my XP machine, so I anticipate a smooth transition.

Fantasy Football Champion

Well, the regular season for football is over. This means that the Fantasy Football season is over and the championships for my league are complete. This year I won the championship. My season record was 10-4, I barely squeeked by the first round of the playoffs, but tore up my opponent for the championship. I love this game.

The Highlanders are the Champs and now to start my legacy and research for next years start to the Highlander dynasty.

Something Cool

I was sent these photos not too long ago and thought they were pretty cool. I'm sure that you've seen ice sculptures before, but check these out.

Early Christmas

Christmas came early, to our house, this year. Our oldest son's job is shift work, so he would be working on Christmas weekend. We decided to have christmas a week early, and what a good Christmas it was. There weren't that many gifts under the tree, but what was there rocked.

We really had a good time, and all turned out well. I got my wife some jewelry, diamond braclet and matching earings. She also got a new coat. I got a kick ass monitor, 19" HD widescreen LCD. I love it. Kudos to the wife who got me that. My youngest son got me a new GeForce 6200 video card. We got our oldest son a home theater system, and the youngest a new digital camera.

Yeah, overall a very good Christmas indeed. But wait, there's more to come. We still have to travel to my mother's home this weekend, for the family Christmas. Wonder what we'll get there.

It won't be all Christmas at Mom's though. I have to reinstall her OS and update all of her drivers. The system that she has is a Dell L800. It's an old machine, that came with Windows ME. It's never had any issues, so I'm also performing some upgrades for her. She will get some additional memory, so that when I install Windows XP on it there won't be any problems.

Old Actors

Ya know, I like Sylvester Stallone movies as much as the next guy. A great actor he's not, but I enjoy most of his movies. To do another Rocky movie at his age though I think is ridiculous. I have also read that he is making a new Rambo movie as well. Come on Sly, don't you think that the action hero in you is about done. Really look at him in the picture.

It's over Rock!
