The Renovations Are About to Begin

Things are coming together and it looks like we are about to begin the long awaited kitchen renovation. My husband talked to the carpenter today and he says that he will be able to get to us very soon. I have been looking at things online. There's a Murray Feiss chandelier that I have my eye on to go over the table. It's going to be fun to finally see this get off the ground. I can't wait.

Were You Impressed?

The Apple iPad launched. Were you impressed? I am thinking that I'm not. I can't really see the advantage over a netbook, and I can see some advantage of the netbook over the iPad. One of main things is cost. Once you start throwing in accessories like all of the iphone accessories it is going to cost as much as a full blown computer. But then I'm not one to rush out for the latest gadget, so maybe I'm not the customer they were aiming for.

Fame Doesn't Protect You

I was saddened to read this morning that Capt. Phil of the Deadliest Catch TV show suffered a stroke. That has been one of the few reality shows that I continue to watch. He had a close call last year with a blood clot in his lung. His years of living on cigarettes and coffee are catching up with him. Fortunately the boat was in harbor when it happened instead of out at sea. My thoughts are with him and I hope he recovers quickly.
