Oh, and one other thing...
This is what you look like when you get up on the wrong side of the bed!

I sure do love NBC's Scrubs
Finger Eleven's "One Thing" (which in the opening reminds me of Fleetwood Mac's The Chain) was on Scrubs tonight. Not only do I really like this show, but they get some of the best soundtracks on this show. You should really try out Finger Eleven. I really like SOME of their songs (love One Thing and Thousand Mile Wish is pretty good). Some of the songs are too "Disturbed" or "Corn" meets "Pearl Jam" sounding for my likes, but the slower ones are pretty good (great, I sound like an old man now).

Visit to Oregon Coast
Just got back from a wonderful visit to the Oregon Coast for our 5th anniversary.

We flew in Thursday to Portland, rented a red 2003 Pontiac Sunfire from Hertz for $49 and drove down I-5 to Corvalis and then over to Newport.

While there, I managed to visit Rogue breweries. We stayed at a wonderful little B&B called The Tyee Lodge. They treated us real nice. We then proceeded up US Hwy 101, The Pacific Coast Highway, and took our time along all the beautiful beaches and small sleepy towns up the coast. We stayed the next night at a sort of dive hotel, House on the Hill in Ocean Side, but the view was great and the food was tasty.

We got up Saturday and drove North to Canon Beach and stayed at Hallmark Inn on the beach at Haystack Rock.

Canon Beach is a bit too snooty for me, but the stay was enjoyable. We finished off our tour by heading North this morning into Astoria and then along US Hwy 30 back along the Columbia to Portland.
Great vacation!

HBO's Band of Brothers
Sarah and I are watching HBO's Band of Brothers on The History Channel, and are through just two episodes. Wow. It has a lot of the same jerky video footage (at least in the second episode) as Saving Private Ryan did, which I don't particularly like (it is very disorienting on my 55" big screen), but this is a great film so far.

Finally got my URC 6131 reprogrammed
I finally got my URC 6131 back from One for All remotes with the fixed programming codes for my satelite receiver and DVD/VCR combo unit. I love this remote. It switches just about everything. Once I finally got ahold of them and got a product return code and sent in the remote, they had it programmed and back to me in less than 4 days!
