Happy Mother's Day!
We called our Mothers, as Tom Friedman suggests. I love you Mom!
The weekend was a good one, a humid one as well. The Players Championship Golf Tournament was in town. We just watched from the couch in HD - it was like being there but with A/C.
In other news, we've been rearranging the house for our new addition to the family. My new desk arrived on Thursday. It should allow me to relocate to a common room in the house. So I've been slowly migrating various items across the house, from old desk to new desk. The only irritating issue that's come up is the problems with the wireless network. It seems that my computer can't quite reach the network from the current location. I fiddled around for a few hours to no avail. Comcast will be coming out on Tuesday to reconfigure the jacks. I then downloaded this guide, which may yield a few tricks.
And speaking of Mothers, check out the new pics of Bonnie - a mom to be...

Mom's Visit
Tomorrow Mom heads back to a frigid Cleveland after a quick weekend visit with us. We did a bit of shopping, relaxed at the beach, and then drove down to St. Augustine for lunch. The weather was near perfect! Hopefully she got enough sun to last until spring break.

Happy Black Friday
We had an enjoyable Thanksgiving with friends here in Florida. Sadly, Keith, Betsy, and my favorite little model Jack will be relocating to Seattle. Bonnie and I wish them all the best!
The food was filling and there's plenty left of Bonnie's pumpkin pies and cranberries - all the food I really need for a few days. For as much as I complain about the Florida weather, it's been quite nice the last few weeks. The windows are open, humidity has faded, and the sun is comfortably warm. I just wish this little bug that I caught would've spared me for the holiday. Being sick on a holiday weekend (a 4 day holiday weekend) sucks.
Now as I finish my breakfast, I'm pondering the idea of venturing out to the stores. There's nothing I particularly need to buy today, but seeing the holiday sights is always a treat. The only store I make a point of avoiding is Best Buy - it's just not worth it. You'd think they're giving away cash by those crazy lines. And only the sale items are a good deal, the rest of the store is usually overpriced, loud, obnoxious, and the sales associates typically know far less about whatever I'm considering buying.
I was amazed to hear the number of stores opening at 4am this morning. And there were rumors that some outlet malls were opening at midnight? Since that's technically earliest a store could open on Friday, I wonder how long it'll take before stores open Thanksgiving evening.

Another Busy Weekend
The busy month continues... The in-laws were in town this weekend and Bonnie wasn't feeling well. She was actually considering not going in to work - so she must not be in good shape. We passed the time with a sampling of Wii Sports and Wii Play. While we don't play the Wii that often, it's always so easy to just pick up and play with some rookies. Nintendo is on their game!
It's another short week for me. On Thursday morning I'm heading down to Port St. Lucie for a photography workshop. I'm really looking forward to a great experience! I'll return from the workshop with barely 24 hours to turn around and head out to Idaho for work. After that trip I should finally have a weekend to myself.
