The music man
Captian Biggs (Joe) performed several very funny songs through out the night. Here he is capping the evening off with an original piece about how life is a little messed up now and and example is that cartoons moved to things like Sailor Moon (little girls) and away from GiJoe and Thundercats (Ho!)

My friend Jill
I hung out with Jill today and helped her bring her very own blog into existence. She is getting close to having her first baby and it seemed like a very cool way for her to be able to keep her family involved in the whole experience since they are not close. Her blog is at jilllustberg.blogspot.com.

Tom and Dixie
Dixie is a much better fit for me than Nipper. Amy, Karen and I went out riding this morning and a good time was had by all. This is shortly after Amy and I put the spurs to Dixie and Raven and really stretched their legs. Dixie is a great horse and is a blast to ride.

Sony Camera Failing
My Sony camera is really starting to fail as you can see from this horrible picture. I called Sony to get support for the camera when I discovered that my camera was purchased at a time they had issued cameras with bad CCD's. The Sony rep asked me a ton of very ambiguous questions and then proceeded to tell me that my camera was not failing due to a bad CCD. He never asked to have me send him a photo or anything. When I expressed my surprise that he could so absolutely diagnose my camera by just asking me questions and not examining the camera or pictures he suggested I send it in and if they decided I had the problem they would not charge me and would reimburse my shipping charges. (Yeah Right!) I said thanks but no thanks as my family has owned several Sony laptops and every time one of them has had to be "serviced" they would disappear for three to four months!!! That is the most ridiculous and terrible service I have ever heard of in my life. I will never again purchase a Sony product. Amy looked around and we have a VERY good warranty with Wolf Camera on the Sony so if they can not fix it they will give me a new camera thankfully. I guess I will have to purchase a new one so Amy and I might have a camera for the coming Holidays. DOH!!!!! Sony you suck!

The Parental Blog
Well I spend sometime yesterday showing my mother and father how to Blog. They have a new blog up at victorjones.blogspot.com. I am very excited to see if they can keep it up at least for the trip to New York. It will be fun to get to see and hear about their trip as it happens. We also played with the very interesting feature of Picasa to do collages. The picture pile was our favorite one but unfortunately it seems to be tied to the resolution of the computer making the collage I guess so that it can be used for a desktop background. On mothers computer at 1024x768 this means her collages get very crowded very quickly. On my fathers computer as 1400x??? they are very nice and spacious. I will have to file a bug report and see if they can make it an option to set the desired resolution of the collage instead of using the computers current resolution. Hmmmmm.....

Hapgood
Mom and Dad had extra tickets to the play Hapgood at the Alley Theatre on the Neuhaus stage. Amy rode in with Mom and Dad and we met at Birraporetti's for dinner. We had an excellent wine and a very nice dinner. The play was a spy thriller / physics lesson. It was quite excellent. Mom did not feel good so she and Dad left at the intermission. Amy wore her new sexy tight fitting brown zip up shirt and form fitting brown skirt with her tall brown boots. Yummy!!!! I am a very luck man.
