Wednesday 01-31-07 Elliptical trainer
Laps: 5.25
Time: 22 minutes
Watching: Lost in Translation
The portable DVD player I’m using is not very loud, even on its highest volume setting, so today I attempted to use headphones with it. Not soon after the DVD player went flying. Lost in Translation somehow ejected and launched out (possibly in an attempt to […]

January through June 2003 I kept a journal online solely about Owen. It wasn’t in a blog, like the ones that exist today, and after awhile it got pretty difficult to maintain. I still have the journal for him, so I’m going to transfer it over into my blog. I’m going to date the […]

Some years ago when I was very overweight I decided to start running on an elliptical trainer. I’d do it almost every night, for longer periods of time each night as the months wore on. I’ve lost a lot of weight since those days, going from 284+ pounds at my heaviest to my […]

Tonight Owen had his first swimming class since August. He’s signed up for Monday night lessons from now through May. Although Owen has had opportunities to swim since August, he has not had as many as he (or I) would have liked. I was worried tonight would be hard for him, that […]

Owen and I had intended to see Charlotte’s Web yesterday, but ended up seeing Arthur and the Invisibles. There’s a kid’s special in Marcus movie theatres in the winter Saturdays at 10am called ‘Frosty Flicks’. It’s often a movie that’s been out for awhile, but it’s just $2.50 a seat and popcorn is free.

John and his friend Henry from work replaced all the belts on my car tonight. The difference is amazing. It’s starting great, running great, and turning great. Probably most importantly (at least to Owen) the belts aren’t making the high-pitched noise they’ve been making since the weather turned cold. (It’s been making these […]

If you’re reading this to see how we successfully copied XBOX 360 files from one 360 to another, scroll to the bottom section of this post.
A few hours after the original XBOX 360 died, we went to Best Buy and bought a thing called Xport by Datel, which allows you to back up your […]

McDonalds fourth-quarter profit rises on Chipotle spinoff - Jan. 24, 2007
When I first found out Chipotle was part of McDonalds I couldn’t believe it. I’m so glad Chipotle’s now been ’spun off’ from the Super Size Me conglomerate. Went to Chipotle just last night. Yummy num nummy.

So tonight after the sledding mishap, we got the ol’ 3 flashing red lights of doom. The XBox 360 died. Many say the early ones have a lifespan of about a year. It was purchased on January 24, 2006, so yeah, I’d say that’s just about right.
You know what they say: you’re not a true […]
