Back home

After a quick weekend in NYC, I'm back home and ready to turn in for the night. Thanks so much for all of the food suggestions, we spent what little time we did have wandering around 6th st :)

We saw The Exonerated on Saturday, an incredible play that I enjoyed a lot. There weren't any big names in it but I thought the cast did a tremendous job. Vinney is much better at recognizing good theater than me (read: she actually knows what she's talking about) but I can say that I was very impressed with the performance. If you ever get the chance to check it out I highly recommend it. The play is about the true stories of 6 innocent members that were wrongfully kept on death row for up to 22 years. The stories themselves are very well told, and the fact that they are true makes the play even more powerful. I've never been the play-type, give me a movie and I'm entertained but I was very glad I went to see The Exonerated.

It's so hard leaving Vinney, but thankfully she'll be down here this weekend. It's very surreal thinking that we'll be married in just 6 months now; it's wonderful beyond belief :)

I've got my first macblog post almost ready to go, I ended up having time to write it while waiting at the RDU airport thanks to a 2.5 hour delay. I'm hoping to put that up late tonight, maybe after my evening class. I did realize that spending the weekend away from the Mac has reduced all the skills I had developed in being speedy with the mac down to nil, time to relearn all those keyboard shortcuts. But more on that in my macdates. I'm going to see if Jason can make the mac blog posts a different color to keep them somewhat separated for those that are coming here simply for the macdates and not my daily ramblings.

Goodnight everyone.

    Just please remember a couple of things anand:

    1) You're marrying a WOMAN. Something most of us can only dream about. PICS??? (someone had to ask, sorry).

    2) Marriage takes *alot* of work. You will have the best days of your life with your wife. You will also have the darkest and worst days of your life with her.

    3) Macs 0wn j00! And never, ever, ever, ever install updates on the day they are released. Wait at least 2 weeks.

    Cheers!

    are you using the mac as is, out of the box or are you making some simple and helpful adjustments (ie buying a common 2 button mouse)?
