Another Grisham Novel Read

Just finished reading Playing for Pizza and loved it. The football descriptions are very good and I enjoyed Grisham's description of Italy, especially the food since I could eat pasta at least once a day. Don't read this book on an empty stomach.

A great birthday present from Linda.

Love this quote

Terry Francona had one of the best baseball quotes I've ever come across when talking about Boston's 19-17 win over Texas earlier this week: "At some point," the Red Sox manager said, "you're thinking about going for a field goal."

The Red Sox took a 10-0 lead in the first inning, then fell behind 15-14 in the sixth before rallying for the win. At the time of this post, the game story was here.

First blog with the MacBook Pro

It's been about a week since I got a MacBook pro at work and the transition from the PC has been pretty smooth. The main difficulty was getting the Apache server to run SSI, but I finally figured that out. I had the server side figured out at least a day sooner than I realized. The final hangup was the text file I created to be included in an .shtml file. I created it with the text editor that comes with Mac and that didn't work. When I created it with another text editor, it worked fine.

Overall, I am glad I am getting the opportunity to work with a Mac. It will be nice to be proficient with both Macs and PCs.

Another Saturday in the Office

Working on comps again on a nice Saturday afternoon. I need to be mostly finished by tomorrow so I don't have to think about it on vacation.
