My precious turned 9 on Nov 8th. Last year she wanted and horse and George was her man. We gave away george last month to a young fellow that could spend more time working with him. He said we could ride and visit george anytime we like.

Maggie

It's been almost 3 months now since Maggie joined our family. She and Storm are now best friends and spend the day chasing each other and sleeping on top of each other.

Maggie is a registered Yorkie and she is a great addtion to the family.

She about 80% house broken, as she somtimes forgets where the pee

pads are located. Well Maggie, hopefully next year you'll be a mom and help pay for $1000 petagree papers

GrandCentral Phone Service

After 42 years and many phone number changes, I finally have one number for life.

Leave it to Google to find yet a new webvention. Grandcentral!

Google Grandcentral gives away a free phone number for life. When a caller calls my GC number, it rings on my work, home, work cell and person cell phone if I had one. If I don't answer, I have a central place to hunt down my voicemail. Wow. I can even listen in on the caller while they leave voicemail plus I can pickup if i like what they are saying! Wow Wow

And tot top it off, if you click on the image above, and enter your phone number, Grandcentral will call connect! Call block, ring toes, plus a bunch of other features...

Now, I they could find a way to update all my friends, family and coworkers address book with my new number, i'de be set... give them time, and I'm sure google will find a way.

Logitech VX Nano

It's Kyle's #7 birthday today! His birthday present was a $1200 HP Core2Duo Laptop, a 22" Samsung flatscreen, and several games. He also snagged a Firefly hellocopter that lasted 20 flights.

Wow, my first computer capable of running BF2!!

Wow, 7 years ago I was stilling in the hospitol working on a puzzle waiting for the little tike to pop.


I also purchased a nice Logitech wireless mouse intending to use the new mouse with my laptop and give the boyee the older Logitech. That's lasted 10 minutes. He somehow broke my older mouse, so currently I'm stuck using the touchpad. and once again looking for a new mouse.

A mouse is a computer man's righthand best friend. I've gone through probably 100 mice over the years and I always go back to my first love, Logitech. Back in the late 80's, Logitech mouse came with a editor called Point. After using mainframe type editors during my college years, logitech CutnPaste feature revolutionized coding.

Well I just ordered the latest logitech vx nano. And THANK you Logitech for making the dongle small enough to leave in my laptop! Now why can't laptop makers just build in the receiver.

I tried a bluetooth mouse, but it got tired and wouldn't wake up most of the time. It also lost it's configuration. I'm guessing that since logitech continues to make dongle mice, bluetooth must have some design flaw

So next week, I can't wait to cop a feel and do some flicking

Marvin Zindler

Sometime around 1977, and the height of my JR High basketball career, my dad took me to a Rockets charity basketball game. I will never forget this old glowing white ghost of a man with the skinniest chicken legs playing Bball with other players.

"That man is none other than Marvin Zindler", I remember my dad telling me.

Marvin, you were truly were a Houston Icon like no other!
