Eight Days Later

Has it been 8 days since my last update? Well, Pam and I went on a long weekend to northern Michigan. Our hope was to see the fall foilage color changes. But with the warm and dry summer, the changes weren’t all that spectacular.

We did visit Mackinaw Island for the day. The island was uncrowded, the weather perfect and many of the shops had end of season 1/2 off sales. Visit the Gallery for pictures of the trip.

Bummer: I purchased the retail version of Earth & Beyond last week. After the installation you are asked for your credit card number to pay for additional charges. Besides the $50 for the game, they expect you to pay another $12 per month to play. I missed the small print about the charge on the box and I never once saw any reference to it on their website. I felt I was totally misled and returned the damn game. The store actually gave my money back for the opened software. Cool.

So I bought Sly Cooper and the Thievius Raccoonus for my Playstation 2.

The landline at our house has been disconnected. We are completely wireless. I feel a large weight has been lifted from our shoulders - and our wallets.
