Gravity really sucks sometimes. I was just putting my new DVD/VCR combo into the cabinet and hooking it up, and unknowingly kept leaning on the shelves next to the cabinet, the shelves that are apparently a bit wobbly when leant on and which then disgorge the dvds off the top shelf onto one's head. I kept on getting bopped by BSG box sets!
And now I see that I need to buy an S-video cable to complete the hookup. Oh, well, I can at least view my dvds and record stuff on it--I just can't record new stuff off the tv yet.
The only reason I was hooking that up tonight was that my cable (both tv and modem) went out for two hours. My first thought was "I know I paid them this month!" and then I called to verify it was an outage. First one I've had since I moved here 2 1/2 years ago--not a bad record on Comcast's part.
Oh, and finally, if I read your post upthread correctly, a Happy Birthday to shrift might be in order here!!

Big family party tonight, but first I must drive 4 hours to it, so I'd better get on with that. This time I'm remembering a swimsuit, because the resort has a pool -- which will not necessarily be in operation, but it might be, so why be swimsuitless if it is?

Have fun at the resort, Theodosia.

Gravity sucks in more ways than one.
Kat, there was a weatherman in Columbus that always built a backyard hockey rink, which was sort of cool. They got enough cold weather but not a lot of snow.
We have a lot of outdoor rinks here, obviously, but I haven't yet got Owen on skates yet. He's not very coordinated. But he's older than most local kids who start.

K claims that she can teach any kid who can walk to also skate. Dunno if I believe.
