If you remember, my Xbox 360 died last week perhaps caused by a lightning strike, but not sure. Anyways, yesterday the return box from Microsoft was received. We made the UPS guy wait around while we loaded the broken unit into the box and sealed it up. The UPS guy then took it with him. […]

Well, I am back from my short little business trip. It was pretty uneventful which is good for these things. The hard part is getting there and back as each way takes one day. Its hard to argue with a trip that includes the wonderful gulf coast beaches of Ft Walton Beach. As usual, I […]

Yesterday, the family had a nice, relaxing day. We had some poker and ping pong tournaments, and played a bunch of xbox 360 games with Tiger Woods Golf being the favorite. I have yet to win one of the poker tournaments but more to come. We also went to The Cove in Sierra Vista and […]

Yesterday was a nice day. With the family in town for the family reunion, we headed off for the Fourth of July parade and festivities in Patagonia, AZ. I wasnt sure how the family would react to a local, small town parade and celebration, but a good time was had by all. This was probably […]
