I told you so
Monday, April 28th, 2008The weather has been nice this week
Saturday, April 26th, 2008So I was planning to do some garden work today. I’ve got flower beds that need weeding and watering, my lawn needs edging and watering, and there are too many dandelions coming up.

ANZAC Day
Friday, April 25th, 2008I don’t know how long this link will be good (it looks like the link will be for the entire trip … ANZAC Day is Day 5 of the trip), but we have Colorado representation Down Under for ANZAC Day.

Then again, how long does it take to unload a Blackberry? Do they have easily-removable memory cards? I don’t know – my cellphone was neither newly-introduced nor top-of-the-line when I got it about 3 years ago.
