We watched Manor House last night. It was informative and out of the ordinary but we cannot finish the series. Hopefully, it will find its way to summer reruns when we can devote more time to it or at least Tivo it.

I will update Neale's FAQs section...better questions and an updated photo.

Please send your book suggestions....I need a new read.

I decided to update my FAQs. Hopefully, I can get Neale to update her answers too. I finalized my summer syllabuses and am going to give my car a spring cleaning shortly.

Neale will be home shortly and plan on taking a walk.

It is a beautiful day here. It is my last week of regular classes. Today, we are discussing the role of Information Technology and the Third World at CSU. It is a new lecture/discussion for me but it is part of the special topics I built into the course. Last Friday, we discussed green consumerism.

Neale and I did a nice ride at sunset last night and used our Cooker coupon. “Six Feet Under” was especially good last night and only a few episodes remain.

Southern trees
Bear strange fruit
Blood on the leaves
And blood at the roots
Black bodies
Swinging in the southern breeze
Strange fruit hangin'
From the poplar trees
Pastoral scene
Of the gallant south
Them big bulging eyes
And the twisted mouth
Scent of magnolia
Clean and fresh
Then the sudden smell
Of burnin' flesh
Here is a fruit
For the crows to pluck
For the rain to gather
For the wind to suck
For the sun to rot
For the leaves to drop
Here is
Strange and bitter crop

We tried to sell our skates yesterday but Play It Again was not taking skates yet. They said to try again in a month and we will. We browsed their racket selection and saw a few possibilities. But, we wanted to try Dick's before making a purchase and there was one right across the street. Dick's had a good selection and some prices were cheaper than Play It Again. So, we found some rackets to our liking and made our purchases. I am confident that we will make our money back when we finally sell the skates.

Our first trip to the court was good. Both of us were rusty and Neale spotted quickly that my backhand was a weakness. For a first trip, it was good. There were a few decent volleys but Neale took the first few games.

We are going to brunch and then to the bike path. It is a beautiful day. Happy Easter everyone, have a great day.

We watched "One Hour Photo" last night and I watched "The Ring" after Neale went to bed. Check out the Film section for details.

We went to the dentist yesterday and it was a much-welcomed visit. Since coffee, tea, and red wine are personal favorites of mine, I had some stains on my teeth. I decided to due something about it and purchased some new toothpaste as well as some Colgate Simply White. I will post some objective results soon as I just started the treatment today.

We are going to Easter Brunch again this year.

Since we love our bikes and do not use our rollerblades, we are reselling them to Play It Again Sports. The skates were fun albeit dangerous. They were purchased before the bikes and the bikes are much more fun. We are hoping to put any money made from the skates towards some tennis racquets. Neale and I have a bet to decide on the court. Place your bets as she has not seen my baseline moves.

I got a lot done yesterday afternoon. I made several exams and study guides for the upcoming finals week. I had to wait on some of the exams because they covered student presentations, which just ended for the CSU and my Race class just started their presentations yesterday.

Well you gassed her up
Behind the wheel
With your arm around your sweet one
In your Oldsmobile
Barrelin' down the boulevard
You're looking for the heart of Saturday night

And you got paid on Friday
And your pockets are jinglin'
And you see the lights
You get all tinglin' cause you're cruisin' with a 6
And you're looking for the heart of Saturday night

Then you comb your hair
Shave your face
Tryin' to wipe out ev'ry trace
All the other days
In the week you know that this'll be the Saturday
You're reachin' your peak

Stoppin' on the red
You're goin' on the green
'Cause tonight'll be like nothin'
You've ever seen
And you're barrelin' down the boulevard
Lookin' for the heart of Saturday night

It was a good morning but it came at alot of hussle behind the scenes. Making sure presentations go as smoothly as possible can be difficult when technology fails. Despite my concern and warnings about having a backup plan if the technology does not cooperate, I had to postpone one presentation. In all, the presentations have been quite good and very informative.

It is a cold and rainy day. The Indians canceled their home opener. I have some grading to do but I am caught on things. Tomorrow, I am doing a "Religious Jeopardy" in my Intro. classes. I believe it will help make the chapter more interesting and give the students another way to relate to the material. Besides, the text spends most of the chapter discussing the demographics of the world religions. In the past, I have mostly focused class discussion on religion and society through various issues like separation of church and state or the creation v. evolution debates. It is fun to try something new.

After a couple of days of using this new app, I highly recommend the Pop-Up Stopper Cleaning Companion. I have been using the free version of Pop-Up Stopper for some time but this handy addition to it is great.

Did you spring ahead?

I installed DirectX 9.0a and started getting an error message. I was not happy. I had been running DirectX 9 and it was fine. I realized that DirectX is notorious for not being able to install a previous version if you want to roll back (like a video driver). So, I considered trying a freeware uninstaller or using my XP System Restore function. I could not find a uninstaller for DirectX 9.0a since it was new (March 24th release). I decided to try the System Restore and went back two days to a restore point. Very easy to do and it will be something I consider in the future (of course, I will make a restore point next time and not just rely on XP to do that for me).

Neale mentions a "St. Paul Sandwich" on occasion and I always wondered what it was and now I know.

It is cold and rainy here. Not the kind of day to go for a ride. On Wednesday, I eclipsed 400 miles. However, the plastic cover to my left gear shifter disappeared. So, I am in the process of tracking one of those down. In the meantime, I will have to develop something to keep moisture out of the shifter. I have a plan with some plastic wrap in mind. Not the best but it will do for now. It is the kind of day to dust off my copies of Green River and old Soundgarden though....still ultramega ok.

Gramarye

(villa elaine)

"Here they come, here they come,
here they come and they might as well.
Too many birds in my confusion now.
Now they'll circle over this house 'till we
take them in..."

You show me a sign
to rise up from the world we know
and she's strung out on life.
He soon rolls his teeth.
Spilling out from a mouth fit to overflow back into me...

Chorus:

She moves and it's fire
(fire underwater),
speaks of its flame
(she speaks my name).
Well they all really want you,
if only you that wanted them.
Lights move in the chalk lines,
chains that define who I am...

Here we are again.
(how could I have seen?)
Always she's driving
(how could I have known?)
right through the strangest calling
(I should have known).
straight through the sound,
(gramarye, I've found),
see how she's driving me... down.

Straight from the sound.
She's seen as a bright sun to anyone...
hollow and mined
with the weight of the world
trailing out till the
last train discovers me
alive on Vine.

Repeat chorus:

I used to see something in the idea,
but only once did my hands reach
anything beautiful.
Now she's turned away...
and I... ooooooh I....

Repeat chorus

We dropped our bikes off at Eddy's Bike Shop yesterday. We bought them from Eddy's and they agree to check on the bikes as long as we own them. The tune-up will take a few days as it is a busy time of the year from them. Next year, providing that we are still in Cleveland, we will drop them off earlier. However, since the weather turned chilly, we were not going to use them this weekend. The best thing about the tune-up is Eddy's in Fairlawn is next to my favorite burrito place, Baja Fresh, so we had to stop in for dinner. We also stopped by Bed, Bath, and Beyond to browse and we found a great deal on an actual Calphalon pasta/steamer pot. They were having a sale and we needed a new pasta/steamer pot as our previous one wasn't designed for extended use.

Yesterday we spent our time well. We ventured over to Costco to stock up on a few essentials. We decided that we no longer wanted to spend our money at Sam's due to a couple of reasons. At Costco, there were several really good deals such as 6 28oz. cans of crushed tomatoes for $6 whereas it would cost $2.99 for one can at the local supermarket. Another reason to venture to Costco was its location. We are moving in July from Strongsville to Westlake and on our return home we were able to visit several possible properties to see what the grounds looked like. We were also able to see if satellite dishes were allowed and how they were installed. It seems that our current complex seems to have a problem with residents installing dishes to the decks whereas the ones we visited yesterday do not. ApartmentGuide.com has been very helpful with the planning of the move as we are looking for bigger at about the same cost and some newer features in the decor. Also, it will place both of us closer to our jobs and cut some travel time off the morning commutes. Westlake is also out of the major snow belt and gets very little snow compared to the east side and the secondary snow belt of Strongsville.

It is 60 degrees and slightly overcast. We are dusting off the bikes and heading to the trail in a few hours.

Since I am home this week on Spring Break, I get to field a few more telemarketing calls than usual. Yesterday, a MBNA call wanted me to buy a credit protection plan to protect my credit in case I die or become immobile. When I intially said "no thanks", the bar was raised. The salesperson wanted me to remember that the war could be a risk to my credit and that the extra protection was necessary in these uncertain times. I'm not sure what section of the population their targeting but I guess it is the paranoid customers that take a break from duct taping their homes to answer the phone. Enough already. However, there is relief coming as the "Do Not Call" legislation is law and will be up by the summer.

This is not necessary.

Neale has errands to do and I have a stack of exams to grade today. This evening we are going to Dolores and Joe's home for a small dinner party. It will only be a few couples celebrating the upcoming birth of a coworker's child.

We watched "Road to Perdition" last night. Neale was more impressed than I was with the film. She saw it last summer but this was my first viewing. Check the film page for details.

We tried the new treadmills at our complex's gym. They are very nice. However, the crunch board is gone so I will be doing sit-ups before heading over.

In health news, our apartment complex decided to improve their exercise room. We now have two elliptical machines, two treadmills, a new bike, a Stairmaster (not new), and a new weight center. It was a much needed change. As the weather is terrible and my Bally's membership expired last August, we have both been using the gym in the evening. However, the previous treadmill had been broken for months and we only had one to use, which caused some conflict among the residents. The new stuff is welcomed! We still can't wait until spring to get back to the bike trails.

I have been catching TechTV's Call for Help recently and I tried another piece of shareware/freeware that they recommended. The software is Spybot and it attacks spyware. However, it also helps protect info logged on your PC that could be detected by a keylogger and provides many other useful privacy functions. I have been a supporter of Ad-Aware for many months and it is still useful but Spybot is very impressive. A piece of software that fell out of my weekly rotation was the Big Fix and its purpose was to notify me of Windows Updates. Yet, after the upgrade to SP1, it failed to notify me of anything which made me suscipious so I checked and Windows was releasing critical updates. So, the Big Fix got the big uninstall. It may still work with your system but it gave me problems once I switched to XP SP1.

There is a local weather concern that a new snow record will be set this winter. The current record is 101 inches set in 1995-96. We are currently at 85 inches I believe. Also, we may have a new low temp, which is lower than 2 degrees. The record low was set back in the 1940s. I'm surprised the record low is not below 0. I seem to remember some lower than zero temps when I was younger. With another storm approaching tonight after midnight, there could be records set.
