It's been... one week

First, I'd like to apologize for not posting for a week. That's pretty lame.
Here's my excuse: I'm busy!

I know, that's a pathetic excuse but it's true.

One of our key Java architects is leaving Wednesday for good... and who has to replace him? That's right, yours truly. As if I didn't have enough to do already. It's making my life a tad stressful.

So, what's happened in a week? Well, quite a bit actually!

Wednesday - bowling. Shot a 60-something, don't remember which. Just hitting my average or there-abouts.

Thursday - supposed to be a playoff game but some jackass who doesn't care about anyone else AND lives right behind the rink decided Thursday sounded like a good day to tell his family he felt like killing himself and others. Police standoff. Hockey canceled at 6:24. At 6:28 he gives up. Good god man, you couldn't have given up 5 minutes earlier or better yet, just blow your freakin' brains out around 1:00 so we can get on with our lives. So, no hockey, rescheduled for this week, now we have to play Thursday and Friday! Can you say smelly equipment? I think I'll just leave everything outside overnight.

Friday - got out at noon, supposed to go golfing. Nothing works out right so I end up at a crappy local course (Yahara) in 30 mph winds. I shot 88 with a 9 on one hole. Otherwise not too bad.

Saturday - started work on Cdubya's room to replace the carpet with laminate hardwood flooring. Got most of it done then we had to go to couples bowling. Shot another 615 or something (can't seem to get off that). Then we went to Cannery Grill in Sun Prairie. Pretty neat place, used to be a Dole processing plant so it has that industrial feel to it. I guess it was going to be a Great Dane brew pub at one point but the stupid law about one place having more than 2 brewing facilities in one area forbids it so that went out the window. Would have been a great place for a brew pub.
Caught some of the Badger/Iowa game there and the rest at home. They won but it wasn't pretty.

Sunday - Finished the flooring and trim in her room while watching the Brewers get royally jacked by the umps. It's not looking good for the true blue brew crew. Down 3 1/2 with a week to go. Afterwards (about 5:00) we finally sat down and watched the dvr'd Packer game. That was fun! Brett free-wheeling it with basically no running game at all. Awesome. 3-0, who would have thought? Not me, that's for sure.

And here we are on Monday, gonna do it all again. Every Monday feels the same. This will be the week I get a lot of stuff done and by Thursday I realize I ran out of time again... maybe next week!

Oh yeah, iPhone update!
I LOVE IT! It's so much fun. Everyone should have one.

Only one thing I found weird. On Saturday I was at bowl-a-vard lanes and there's basically no AT&T signal there for some reason but they do have wi-fi which I connected the iPhone to. Only problem was that without a cell signal I still couldn't browse the web even with wi-fi. I'll have to investigate that some more.

That's it for now, enjoy your week and pray for the Cubs to fall apart as only the Cubs can. :)

I sense sarcasm in your comment...

The part I found odd was the cops who cancelled your hockey game were only trying to keep the players from a violent situation
