Wind Storm
A very heavy windstorm came through our neighborhood. It ripped branches off trees and made a general mess. I feel it was related to a tornado, because if you look at the other streets in the neighborhood, the houses that were affected were in a line about 75 yards wide and about a 1/4 mile long.

Volleyball championships in Dallas
Just back from Dallas for the NAGVA championships. I was on a pick-up team: we'd played together only once before (in Houston, where we finished last), so my expectations were not real high. However, we ended up doing well in the first day of pool play, but ended up in last place in the tournament. Still, I had a great time - although my body's hurting a bit too much these days from all the playing.

Geek alert - Phishing toolbar
I just ran across this useful item that monitors your browser for Phishing scams. I'm not sure why Netcraft is giving aways such a wonderful and useful tool, but I'm not complaining.

Things could be worse
OK. I can't complain about how conservative our government is - as I was Googleing to find out about Brad Rutter, the Jeopardy finalist, I ran across this forum entry: I realized that we're a long way from how bad it could be.

First swim
Got in the pool for the first time. Temperature is only 80 degreees - but it was refreshing. Sadly, I discovered that there is a leak in the liner. Another $4,000 to fix it. Ouch.

Palm Springs
We went to Palm Springs on vacation. It was much more enjoyable than we thought it would be. Pictures to follow ....
