Wayne D's Blog

Tuesday wasn't blog day because the son who bowls wasn't feeling well so he and my wife stayed home and I got to bail early and head off to my Tuesday night trivia game on time. Tuesday night is usually drive the kids to stuff night and I blog in the gap between drop off and pick up. Nothing like writing to deadline to get the words on the page.

I still love Studio 60. In addition to being a good show they usually have a musical guest on the show within a show. Last week the show had Natalie Cole on singing Say a Little Prayer for Me in support of her savemylife.org initiative. Savemylife.org links to charities that are working to help the AIDS epidemic in Africa. If you live in the United States and donate any amount you get a free download of the song. I bought my copy on iTunes and made my donation to CLWR who are combating AIDS in both India and Mozambique.

What else was I going to write about? The boys and I took advantage of the slightly warmer weather to clear the ice off of the driveway. The minus 10 to 20 weather we have had over the past week broke for a couple of days. The extremely cold weather has resulted in me going through podcast withdrawal because the cassette deck in my care really doesn't like the cold weather and ejects my iPod to cassette adaptor every 3-5 minutes. We built up a pretty good layer from driving over the snow instead of shovelling it. It's all gone now, I think I'll take a picture of the ice pile and use it to illustrate this article.

My sister had her surprise birthday party on Friday night but you probably aren't interested in that. If you are the pictures are on Flickr. I could complain about all the single drivers driving around in SUV's but that's old and nobody cares. I could whine about Yahoo again. The other day two of the three highlighted interesting pages they offered were in German. I could complain about Rogers trying to sell me their home phone service that would cost more than I pay for my Bell service but nobody would care about that either.

OK it's official, I'm dry. I'm going to head outside to take a picture for this entry but for now I'm out of here. Almost forgot to mention the movie I watched last night. Amelie I nice sweet French movie. Sweet for adults, not for kids by the way. Subtitled but there isn't much talking.
