File this under "why didn't I do this before?".
I've been debating whether to get an iPhone for some sort of connectivity for when I'm out and about, mostly for work but really for when I get bored. So tonight I went to Verizon and snagged a wireless modem (which I'm using right now). It's pretty peppy, gets around 500k with a crappy signal. And now this means the laptop is almost always in tow...
You know, just in case work calls ;-)
Someone has been playing out the 12 days of Christmas on my buddies doorstep. And now it's in the local paper....
Each day since Dec. 13 another anonymous gift has been left on Lisa and Dennis Geraghty's doorstep in Bridgeview."I really just wanted to say thank you," Lisa Geraghty said.
Each gift comes with a tag referencing the 12 days of Christmas, she said.
The gifts have been a boost to the family, which has had its share of bad news this year, Geraghty said. Lisa who suffers from multiple sclerosis was diagnosed in July with a slow-growing malignant brain tumor. She had surgery in September to remove most of it and must undergo chemotherapy for the next year.
"Thinking about past Christmases this would not be my most favorite," Geraghty said.
But the gifts have helped put Geraghty in more of a holiday mood, she said. "It really kind of renewed my faith and whole Christmas spirit," she said. "They've given us something to look forward to and I want to tell them how kind they are."
The Geraghty's who have been married for two years have five children between the two of them. The kids range in age from 10 to 18 and Lisa Geraghty says they are pretty excited about the daily deliveries.
Whoever is doing this, thank you for making this a memorable Christmas for this family....they most definitely deserve it. :-)
Got a new battery for the truck today. Unfortunately, the code got blown out when they swapped it at WalMart, which means no music for the holiday season. Called the dealership and for $85 bucks they can get the secret code from Honda so I can have music.
So I play dumb and call Honda. After they verified some info, they had me hold down a couple of buttons and five minutes later, music starts pouring out of my radio!
F***ing dealerships....call them back and they are "oh, you did the one and six thing". Bunch of #&^@#* liars.
Enjoy!

What's next? I'm still trying to figure that out, but it's nice that I don't have any homework due in the foreseeable future.
With three teenage girls, it's dance time....
Three A's...It's really done now....
