New Monitor Cable

I can see! I can see! For a few months, the color on my monitor kept changing. Some days the white would be blue, red or yellow. Sometimes, it would keep changing. It was getting very annoying not to mention being hard on my eyes. I bought a replacement cable from Best Buy. Unfortunately, the cable they sold wasn't much better. The color was okay, but I kept getting ghost images. That was just as annoying as the changing color. Eventually, I broke down and ordered a high-end cable from Black Box.

Valentine's Day

I hope that everyone had a good Valentine's Day. Due to some work conflicts, my wife and I weren't able to go anywhere exciting, but we still had a good time. I bought her a bear holding a vase that contained a red rose. Also, I her a small mailbox that has her name on the outside and a small teddy bear and candy on the inside. Lastly, I got her a six-gallon tin of buttered, cheese and sugar-free caramel popcorn.

House Fire

I was working upstairs yesterday (like I do everyday) when I heard a siren. It sounded fairly distant so I didn't think anything of it at first. A few minutes later, it sounded a bit louder, but still seemed far away. Then, the sirens sounded like they were fairly close. When I went downstairs to investigate, the living room was covered with flashing lights. For a second, I thought I walked into a disco or something. I went outside and saw a half dozen fire trucks and emergency vehicles.
