I have so much to write about I don’t know where to start. I just got back from the second night of the Jewish new year’s celebration. I was at my family’s best friends house. We do almost all the major holidays with them. This being the first holiday of the season was weird. Their were so many new babies and little kids. My sister hasn’t been the only one having kids. Bruce and Richard (my dentists) both have new kids. Scott brought griffin (1 1/2), his new son. Cari (another Cari, not my sister) brought her 3 kids (6, 3 1/2, and 18 months). Then their was like 5 others that I can’t remember. Lots of kids.
Dinner was ok. I am not big on holiday food spreads. Desert was fantastic though. Had some awesome chocolate cake. My dad had a little on my recommendation. he is diabetic, so he waits for me to have chocolate to give my opinion on if it is worth the sugar for him. 5 months & 6 days until I can introduce chocolate to Morgan. Morgan’s mommy may not be too happy, but I will try anyway!
I tried to rest today. It didn’t work. I didn’t feel well during the day. I didn’t get to bed till after 1:30AM since I got home late last night from the first night of the new year dinner. I took a furiset to prevent the migraine. it worked, but I was really tired. I couldn’t sleep though. When I lied down, I kept getting woken up by the phone. Now I will try to sleep and probably won’t be able to.
“Family” get together’s are always interesting, and annoying. I get the curious questions about what I am doing and how things are. That is normal from people you don’t see that much. Then I get the inevitable tech questions. Some of them are cool, and I don’t have problems answering. Case in point, Scott’s question tonight on what laptop to buy. He used to have a Mac and I talking to him about my Powerbook. He may get one, but also is looking at a decent dell. Told him he can’t go wrong with either. But then their are questions like anything from Wammy (not his real name but everyone calls him that. Don’t know why). Ever time I see him he picks my brain about all sorts of tech crap. Some stuff is interesting, but other times it is downright annoying. Now I like talking about technology. you can tell that by reading this blog, but I like talking about it with others who know what is going on. Family gatherings are not the place to discuss stuff.
I also tried to get data off my Dad’s old Palm 505. He just got a Treo 300, and I need to get the data onto it. Can’t get it off using the equipment he has at home. it only sync’s with his work computer, so I have to have him sync it and then backup the file and email it to me. I tried 2 cradles and neither worked.
