I'm making a formal plea to the fam to check purses, bags or baggage pockets for any stray electronic cords that may have been stowed by error at Tahoe. I'm missing a couple of cables with USB connections at one end and special fittings at the other end that are camera-related. I usually kept both in the side-pocket of my laptop case, but have not been able to locate either since getting back from vacation.
The virus on my desktop was not easy to clear, but our IT provider was able to do so with remote access. The virus appeared as I was reading a news story at one of my regular Internet news sites, and I got a pop-up warning that my computer was infected and that I needed to run a virus protection program. The obvious give-away was that the recommended program was not the one already installed on our system. The worm gave out lots of official-looking Microsoft and Outlook warnings. Really a trap for the naive who want to respond "yes" to the query, "Do you want to isolate this threat?" It's a dangerous place out there.
http://www.augustana.edu/x1092.xml This link is to a blog written by one of the Augustana basketball players over the last several days to report on the team's current trip to The Peoples Republic of China. My pal Pete's Number Three son is with the team. He's a deep reserve, but they took the full squad. He called Pete on Thursday while Pete was on the road, and Pete said it sounded like he was just down the block. Technology is amazing.
Green fees for 18 holes at this course: $340. Plus caddie fee of $60. And caddie gratuity of $35 (minimum). Souvenir golf shirt (without 30% discount) $85. Bottom line: bring the card without a credit limit.
Some Chinese guy I've never heard of just shot a course-record 64. 8 better than a guy named Tiger. 9 ahead of Phil for the day.
Congrats to 1 and 1.1 on their long runs today. 1 and 2 are now headed to Target Field for an evening with the Twinkies.
For me and The W, it will be an evening walk, and more of the couch life. Not all that bad.
It's 5 O'Clock Somewhere. Boston fo' sure. Tuscan red.

2 and i had fun at the game last night, and we got a w to boot! we purchased SRO tix for $25, plus the $5 transaction/shipping fee. Our other option was paying $50+ to sit in the nosebleeds. We stood on the lower level behind people who prob paid 3x what we did...but they did get to sit:) The place was a sellout, as most games are. Add that it was a Sat. night and finally good weather and you've got lots of people at the ballpark. The bar we stopped at before the game had $3 domestic bottles. suite! Naturally, the price of a beer went up in the stadium. Shout out to grandma for babysitting! We're getting ready to vacate the house for a showing. The humidity is gone today and the sun is out. Pretty windy, but since we got our runs in yesterday it doesn't matter.
