Post 638 Fooled ya, I'm in work today! Well, the plans I had for today got pushed back to tomorrow, so I'm taking tomorrow off instead. Yep, we got smacked hard with snow on Friday... got about 10 inches at my house. Well, this weekend, or at least Saturday, was a busy one. Saturday afternoon, we went to a wine tasting, then spent the rest of the day looking at new flat-screen TV's. I think the wife burned out looking as she almost fell asleep twice while I talked to the salesmen about options. There's 3 we were very impressed with, but by the end of the day, I think the wife didn't want to think TV's anymore. We'll see what happens. (like normal, now she's wondering if we really need one... *sigh*) I was sad to see Richard Pryor pass on this weekend... I really thought he was a great comedian, and loved him in the movie "Brewsters Millions", and "Stir Crazy". Other than that, not much going on. I still have LOTS of Christmas shopping to do... hopefully I'll get a bit of it done tomorrow. And now, the news: The AFI's top 10 movies/tv shows of the year (I definitely don't agree with them) Here ya go Aaron, if you can't afford a sailboat...: Want to go for a sail but don't have a boat? Simple, just strap some flotation to the side of your car and drive into the Mediterranean Sea.
