I installed a lot of WordPress plugins this weekend, and am sorting through several more. For starters, if I link to a Wikipedia Article or a YouTube Video, the information can be brought up simply by hovering over the icon next to the links. Sleek. Modern.
Jaime and I have both been sick all weekend, but we did at least sell her old Honda. Back down to two cars. Mine needs some work, but not nearly the $2000 we got for the Honda. It doesn't seem like Stephen is sick, although he has a runny nose twice a day.
Just playing around with links and stuff, I was trying to find a picture of my guitar, but I can't find one that looks exactly right. Maybe mine is just more beat up than most of the pictures I found. The sunburst is far more subtle on mine.
Also, let's see what happens when I link to a picture off of Jaime's Flickr.
Okay, I'll stop now.
ps--Started a new song yesterday morning. A clip:

Well, I'm officially sick for the first time this season. Kind of worrisome now, with the baby and all. This is the first time I've ever used Zicam as directed, and let me tell you, the stuff works. Symptoms practically disappear an hour after applying it. I kept a swab on the sink last night and used it at 4am when I got up to go to the bathroom, and I got back to sleep so easily. My nose instantly stopped running. It's also possible that this was a very weak cold.
(After a little bit of reading.... some Zicam products--including the one I like--have lost FDA approval and have consequently been pulled off the market. Seems like it causes people to lost their sense of smell when they snort the product, some permanently.)
In an ongoing effort to trim the fat from our spending habits, I just called COMCAST to cancel HBO and turn in one of our DVRs. This should save us about $32/month. We still have four ENCORE channels, so we get a lot of uncensored movies, just no HBO original programming (I'll miss the documentaries and the boxing). OnDemand still works, but with no access to the HBO OnDemand, it's next to worthless.
Poop watch continues on to Day Ten.
Busy weekend. Got Jaime's old car running again, cleaned out all the junk. Now we just have to vacuum, scrub, wash, wax, etc. and we can [finally] get rid of the thing. Finished mounting lights at LP's house, went grocery shopping, and spent a good four hours at the Mulligans' yesterday. I plan to walk Stephen down to the bank with me today to deposit some checks.
My wife wanted me to help her with her fantasy football draft this year. She has played the previous two seasons without knowing anything, and she has done very well. This season, probably not so much. Blame me. First round pick was more than likely a complete waste, and Kurt Warner may be starting to show his age. We shall see. This week, Zach took us down to Chinatown, as promised.
Tennis was also good this weekend. Weird things happened, and Kim Clijsters won the U.S. Open after taking off almost two years to have a child.
