I can’t fight this feeling any longer…

I have a cold. My wife and son have had it since last week and it’s finally caught up to me. Usually I spend a few good days trying to fight it off, but it doesn’t seem like I’m going to win this time. It started yesterday as an annoying cough and today I have the dry, scratchy throat. Bleah. I remember now why I hate spring. Hate, hate, hatey, hate-hate.

We did finish up Devin’s pinecar this weekend.

I’ve mentioned, in detail, my issues with Echostar/Dish Network. Well, as of noon tomorrow all those troubles will be over. DirectTV is coming out tomorrow to install our new system. Yay! I can’t wait to play around with DVR. Ahhh, no more messing around with video tape, trying to figure out what’s been watched and what can be taped over. Man! I can’t wait.

Tonight I have the pinewood derby to judge. Should be fun. It’s a riot to see how seriously these kids and their parents take this. It’s serious business, let me tell you. The weigh-ins alone are a source of much debate and final tweeking. I guess it really shouldn’t come as any surprise being that this is the land of NASCAR. Hoooooo, doggie!
