Wheeeeeeee!
So, me and a few other people almost died today, but we didn't so it's all okay now. The whitewater rafting was awesome. We did a few class fives (three in a row at one point - someone forgot to tell me that the Olympic course was a concrete mess made by a bunch of people with no concept of life and the desire to live over drowning...).
I do want to go again next year. And skiing. All the church sporting trips we make are great. Time for bed. Church tomorrow morning. Ask me more about the trip and I'll fill you all in.

Woo Hoo! Cable! And it's fast! Lan parties, here we go....
Hope everyone is having a good week. I am. Friday @ 4 is the rafting trip. That's gonna rock. I love getting outside. Well, I'm gonna go run for a while and see what shape I feel in. I'll probably check out the weight room here at the complex. That will help me decide if I want to stay at Climb Nashville for the extra price (it's not cheap) or if I'm gonna just work out here.
I heard back on one job opportunity (filled already). I'm still looking for web stuff, so we'll see what else comes up....

Nephew gets baptized tomorrow. Cookout here at my brother's apartment (N.C.) afterwards. Then a long drive home to Nashville and seeing sis off first thing Monday (tears). Good part is we are riding together back to Nashville so we get to talk for a while before she leaves for another year teaching at KCA in Keiv, Ukraine. I'm so proud of her and all she has done in the past year. Early and long day tomorrow. Time for sleep....

It's Cheaper, So It MUST Be Better
My car broke down last night because a plastic catch on the quick release for the fuel line that connects to the fuel filter broke. Nothing like watching a gallon of gas soak into the road and evaporate. I hate how there are so many plastic parts on cars these days. Ford is just known for it's bad uses of plastic (yeah, never a good idea to put plastic in a transmission - our Windstar had that problem). Thank goodness there was one 24 hour auto store in Middle Tennessee (here's a shout-out to the guys at at Advanced Auto Parts on Elm Hill Pike and Donelson Pike). Wire works for holding the dang thing on there and it doesn't leak; the catch is just broken and it won't hold it there (wire is not one of the best ideas, but then I can't afford towing right now).
So, going to bed at 5:30 Wednesday morning and then being stuck out till about 3:00 this morning is gonna be great for me trying to drive to North Carolina tomorrow for my nephew's baptism on Sunday. I'm really glad we decided to drive early because now I may use the extra time with a real tow truck and mechanic bill if anything else goes wrong.
Life is just great.
Update:
Life is better after a swim and shower. Yeah, I wish people would make quality products, but I got it fixed for $6, so it's ok now. I really hope nothing goes wrong on the drive.

Woot! Just got the main functionality of my site finished (finally). Winsinger.com if you want to look at it again. I have a draft of the bio up and you can click on the pics on the web dev page to view the galleries of each set of screen shots. But the images are big... nothing to be done about that, they have to be that big. I think I'm going to go to sleep now. G'night.
