Long weekend rewind (merge ahead)

A great weekend--busy, fun and yet relaxing. Ran all the necessary chores Saturday, but hit a brick wall when the new printer didn't have software available either in the box (a blank disk!) or on the HP website (which baffled the customer service rep). It also wasn't a glass-top, which negates Liz being able to use it for prints and her jewelry designs. Took it back to the store whose website we'd ordered it from for refund then decided to regroup with a quick Target run. What do I find at Target? The right printer, which had the disk and was completely compatible with our (now ancient) OS 10.2.8 system on the iMac. Did a run to Vintage Vinyl and picked up a few classics I'd had on vinyl (and sometimes, you have to invest in at least 1 Johnny Thunders CD) and out for a laid-back Mexican meal. Had to take the car to the garage as the wipers aren't working and need to have the motor replaced (can't wait for June now!) and relaxed at home with the guitar for the balance of the holiday.

Saw these articles this morning. It's not so much the cost of the service going up, it's the idea of having to buy new equipment. That should not happen, by any means. And the fact that I despise Howard Stern, but that's more acceptible (hoo hoo hoo). With a broader service, one would have to expect that prices increase. And what is the new name going to be? This is not going to be a quick marriage, that's for sure.

Still believe the Rangers will make the playoffs!
