I got up about 12:30pm this afternoon. I wanted to go out onto the balcony and take a picture through an opening in the netting. Just so you can see all the new snow we got out there yesterday. However, Anne had placed the birdcage in my way in the front sliding balcony glass doors, so I couldn’t get out there. But the birdcage was on the kitchen table last time I checked doing the cbi thing this morning. I looked in the kitchen and there were store bought articles by the microwave, her purse on the floor. That told me she must have gone out to Superstore across the street and climbed back into bed when she returned not to wake me. I needed that. So I opened my office window and took this shot. Netting in the way makes things a lot more darker then it should be out there. Before yesterdays snowfall we had almost all of the snow gone, I’d say 70% gone before I took this photo. Now winters back:

I fixed myself a coffee soon after I got up and read more from my Science Fiction book-NTR. I’m really enjoying this book. Timothy Zhan is a year younger then me. As I got to about the halfway point of the book this afternoon I began to ask myself if maybe a sequel to this? I checked the Fantastic Fiction link on my website and entered his name in the search field and his page came up. He’s got a sequel alright and according to Amazon it’s even in the mmp format. Good stuff. I think I’ll order this from Audrey’s Saturday. NTR is turning out to be a pretty good Science Fiction yarn.

Anne‘s about to get up in an hour to work on the laundry. I feel kind of bad for her that we couldn‘t stay there as long as we could at the Ramada Inn for supper yesterday afternoon because of the traffic delays in getting there and all. She had to get downtown to deposit her check into the account so we can pay our cable bill otherwise by the end of next week, we’d lose our Internet connection. As we were eating for conversation I told her my plans to open up an investors account with RBBC and how I can start with as little as $200. JT gave me some stock names to work with and I’m going to start a small portfolio of just 6 stocks. Nothing special. It’s something I’m not going to get rich off of. She said in there, something like: “Then you’d really make use of a Blackberry.” No kidding.

I’d love a full featured Blackberry, with unlimited text messaging, I can call in scores as they happen from TSN. TSN is a lot more reliable then Yahoo sports. I can check my stocks. I can get Google Alerts for my Blog rolls when they come in and email from my newsgroups. With a wifi connection (of course) I can do photo bloging and add photo’s to my blog and even use it as a cell phone and music player. I’m sure there’s an instructional video on how to use the Blackberry posted somewhere on YouTube.

Coast last night was pretty lame, discussing prostitution and how it can bring down Governments due to the recent New York scandal on the topic. In the first hour, Ian spoke with Jeane Palfrey, the so-called 'D.C. Madam' who ran an adult fantasy concern for 13 years. A lame topic for Saturday night. We missed the bulk of the show on the mysteries of Ireland. I’d much rather would have had the first topic on the last half of the show so the first hour on up would be. So because we go to bed so late we get the crap stuff. Tonight: George Knapp, in his very first radio interview, mafia associate turned government operative Tony Nastasi will describe life inside the mob and his dealings with the likes of 'Vinny the Aspirin' and 'The Angel of Death.' Yeesh. And George Knapp is ordinarily a UFO guy, but I don‘t think he has any choice over the shows topics. Monday however, the show will be on Planet X. on Thursday there’s a show about Time Travel and a few lame shows in there as well. Oh well.
