Question to you all: Is a “family visit” the same as “vacation”? I don’t think so…most of my vacation time ends up being family visits…

Now I’m not against visiting family; I am all for it. In fact, it’s necessary as our extended families live so far apart. But when you need to unwind and refresh; sometimes, a family visit is not the way to do it. And when you have kids, the pressure is really on to make sure that both “Grammies and Grandads” get their equal time.

Can you tell that I’ve had my parents here since the 17th of Dec, and now my wife’s parents are here?

My job bought me a new computer yesterday…I am very excited. My last new computer purchase was the first generation of Macintosh G4 Titanium Powerbooks, and it was sweet. 500MHz, 512MB of Ram, 40GB HD, really nice stuff. The date: April 2001.

My machine served me faithfully, and was still working ok. A little slow, but working. The speakers didn’t work, there was a big scratch across the screen. But it was my old faithful. Many a video project had been edited on that machine.

Then, my boss wanted to view a DVD on it. Well, the speakers didn’t work, and the big scratch was annoying. He said, “Steve, you need a new computer.” What a guy. I love him.

I now have a 15″ Powerbook, 1.67GHz, 2 GB Ram. 100GB HD @7200rpm’s. Nice… I am a very blessed man indeed. and the speakers work.

One of the great joys in life is to meet people from all walks of life, all professions, all faiths. Bob Souer has been in the announcing and radio business for MANY years (more than 20), and enjoys sharing his experiences and others on his blog. check it out .
