• Hmmmm... Nertz last night. Mike won again. I'm not sure how. I think my streak is really paining me. It's haunting me. Laughing at me. Why can't I win?? How long has it been since I beat Mike? Like, forever...maybe 6 months...it's a tragedy. It's awful. I need to win next time. I NEED to. ARGH!!!

  I have some advice for all of you out there. Embrace technology. That's all I have to say. Embrace it and use it to make your life easier. I can pay almost ALL of my bills online-no stamps or checks or going to the mailbox. (this is why I haven't mailed those DVDs mom and dad--sorry--I never go to the mailbox).
  Embrace it. I have an iPod and use iTunes to manage my music. It's incredible. Embrace it. Digital cameras are revolutionizing home photography. Use it. It's 2005 and the world is moving quickly. You must embrace change. I purchase 90% of my DVDs and other stuff from Amazon.com. It's easy and fast. No more traffic or overcrowded WalMarts. I buy 90% of stuff for my work online. Sheet music, orchestrations, equipment, books, CDs (iTunes), I buy it all online. I'm using iTUnes to archive ALL of the CD's that anyone has ever sent me as a promotion from any choral club that I can find in my library. I'll be able to access ANY of those songs by several keywords or the instant search mechanism. Why wouldn't you want that?? I just ordered a DVR from Cox--I'll never have to use VHS tape again. No more old tapes ruining my show or faulty settings on the timer, accidentally set to record American Idol in 2007 instead of earlier tonight...nope. High-speed internet...I think you all know how much cooler that is...
  you must embrace technology.

  OK. I would post some more about Mark, but I'll have to save that for tomorrow. Now I need to stop typing and go play with my kids.

  Oh yeah, 3 years ago today we pulled up to Midway with our moving van and moved into our house in San Diego. It was a Thursday, Sept 5th. I'm starting my fourth year here...wow.
