The New Era Begins

And so it begins, our new President has taken reigns and only time will
tell how well he will do. Had a chance to watch all of the pomp and
circumstance at work complete with goodies. I bet that crowd was cold!
It looked cold! Couldn't imagine what it must have been like trying to
get into the District. Read that ticket holders were turned away, you
know they were, upset.

Technology is cool!

I wanted to watch a DVD last night and when it came to the menu I was
unable to negotiate through the different sections up and down. I have
a universal remote and it is lacking that function, I was going nuts as
it was a 4 part series and I couldn't get to the other 3 parts after
watching the first. Couldn't find the old DVD remote, what to do?

Well I remembered that my HP iPaq had a program called Nevo that lets
you use the PDA as a remote. In less than 30 seconds I had programmed
the PDA to use as a remote for the DVD and it had the additional
functions (Up and down arrows) I needed and was able to watch the other
sections!

Pan de carne

Funny story. Went to the cafeteria at work the other day and asked the
cook what was under one of the lids "pan de carne", I grinned from ear
to ear. The woman next to me said she that I had the biggest smile on
my face. I know what your thinking, it's just meat loaf, but they
really make a delicious meat loaf, with a strip of cheese down the
middle, mmmmmm yum!

Cold snap

Not here! I've been getting reports from back home about the freezing
temperatures, brrrr! I can't remember the last time I have been in
really cold weather, I mean Iraq, Saudi and now here.

Went to the store at 10:30 this morning and it was at least 86 and very
sunny! But we'll get our winter soon enough.
