After that weekend, I’m pretty beat. I ate about three pounds of Jen’s homemade lasagna last night and had two glasses of red wine, and slept the sleep of the dead. There’s nothing like an honest tired. I posted a new series of photos with some before/after shots of the upstairs bedroom, and some selected shots from around the house.

Hmm. Apple just released a new series of iPods, so now the offerings are 10, 20, and 40GB. The 20 might just be the one for me, if and when I can afford it. Drool.

If all goes well, tomorrow Verizon should be flipping the switch on our DSL service, so we’ll have broadband at the house. It’s been a very strange experience to go without it for the past three weeks, sort of like losing cable. If there’s a question about a movie (“Who’s the guy who plays the bad guy in this piece of crap?”) or about one of our appliances (“How the hell do we make this thing stop beeping?”) or how to garden in something larger than a clay pot (“What the hell do we do with this stupid bush?”), the Cat-5 umbilical is not available. What did we do before the Internet?
