Xbox 360

by @ Friday, December 30th, 2005. Filed under xbox 360

I got myself an Xbox 360 today. So, someone on Digg posted a link to a page at Best Buy where you can check the Xbox 360 inventory for stores in your area. I was checking it last night and it said that the Best Buy in Manassas had some. I called them this morning, [...]

Merry Christmas

by @ Sunday, December 25th, 2005. Filed under Family

Merry Christmas to everyone! We’ve had a wonderful morning. We got up around 7:30 this morning. We came downstairs and the kids enjoyed seeing what Santa had left them. Then we had some sausage biscuits for breakfast along with some of the sports candy (apples in this case) that Santa had left in our stockings. [...]

1 more tree today, while I was out this moring Christmas shopping.

Ultima 5 Lazarus

by @ Saturday, December 24th, 2005. Filed under Games, PC, RPG

Ultima 5 Lazarus has been realeased. It’s a remake of Ultima 5 using the Dungeon Siege engine. I’ve not gotten it installed yet, but everything I’ve heard about it had been great. So you you like that kind of game (and own Dungeon Siege) it’ll be worth checking out.

I saw three trees on the way back from Clinton today, and Kate saw one today for a total of 4 trees today.

Back Home

by @ Friday, December 23rd, 2005. Filed under Personal

I’m back home now, safe and sound. First thing I did when I got home was hug the kids and the wife, then get the presents inside. Then the kids and I went out to play for a while (it’s a beautitul day today, 55° outside and very few clouds). It’s nice to be back [...]

The Rest of the Day

by @ Thursday, December 22nd, 2005. Filed under Family

It’s been a nice day here in Clinton. With the funeral over, it’s like a great weight is lifted. I understand why they have funerals. It gives you a breaking point in the grief. A place where you can say, “This is done now, I can start moving on.” Not that it is always as [...]

Funeral

by @ Thursday, December 22nd, 2005. Filed under Personal

Uncle Bobby’s funeral was this morning. It was a very nice service. I was doing fine until they were giving the flag to Mike, that’s when I lost it a little bit. I’d not even known Uncle Bobby had been in the Air Force before today. It was a nice service though. I was asked [...]

In Clinton

by @ Wednesday, December 21st, 2005. Filed under Personal

I made it safely to Clinton. Got here around 2pm. The drive down wasn’t as bad as I thought it would be on my own. In some ways it was easier. This is when the iPod really pays for itself though. It would have been a much tougher drive without a nice selection of music [...]

1 tree today, on Interstate 95 on the way to Clinton.

Death in the Family

by @ Tuesday, December 20th, 2005. Filed under Family

My Uncle Bobby passed away today. It was kind of sudden and unexpected. He hadn’t been in the best of health, but this was still a shock to everyone. I’ll be heading down to Clinton tomorrow morning for the funeral on Thursday. Kate and the kids are going to stay here, because the quick turn [...]

Update

by @ Friday, December 16th, 2005. Filed under Personal, Weather

So there was some snow and ice yesterday. Officially we got around .2″ of ice. School was closed again today, since the roads still hadn’t recovered completely. There were lots of accidents during the morning commute, at least that’s what the morning news was saying. I worked from home for the most of the morning. [...]
