Borders is currently running a deal where each customer can purchase up to three CDs at any of their stores at 40% off each CD. It’s a three day deal, with tomorrow being the last day. I don’t know if you need to be a Borders Rewards member, but I think you do. […]

Disappointing Poker Today
So, we’re back in the hotel in Fredericksburg after spending the week in Florida. We were both exhausted, so other than a quick shopping trip this morning, we spent the day in the room. I spent a fair amount of time playing poker during the day, all in qualifiers. I won a seat […]

Goodbye Florida
This morning, we drove from southern Florida, and arrived mid-afternoon in Savannah, GA, where we are camped for the night, before heading back to VA tomorrow morning. The weather in Florida was fantastic (84, sunny, and breezy) and our visit with my parents was delightful. Serendipitously, Lois and I interviewed a wonderful person […]

Nice Surprise From FestivaLink Today
Who knew this blogging thing would pay off so big? 😉 Seriously though, today I got an unsolicited email from the good folks at FestivaLink.net. That should immediately redirect you to a specific subdomain on LiveDownloads.com. I was one of (who knows how) many people that were all bcc’ed on the email. It […]

Finally, A Superbowl Fan Again
I’ve loved football (playing and watching) since I’m six years old. Independent of that love, I have loved gambling (on a variety of things) since I’m 16 years old. In my early 20’s, I briefly combined the two, and made my first series of football bets. It was a disaster, as I won […]

Audio Video Cable Prices
In this post, I linked to a great cable that solved my PC -> TV problem. That cable was purchased from svideo.com. The link in that article was to the exact cable I purchased, which cost me $24.95, including free parcel post shipping. It works perfectly. Here is another link on their site […]
