Happy Valentine’s Day everyone! I had a pretty good day at work today. We sold Chocolate covered strawberries to the students of ACU. I had a good time putting the strawberries into their little containers. Sadly, I only got to eat a few that were made yesterday, not the “fresh” ones. I did buy some fresh ones for my mother though. She said they were delicious. I was not able to make it to the realtor’s office today to sign…

ABC’s The Wonderful World of Disney presents The Music Man this Sunday. I love this movie, and welcome the remake. Disney usually does a pretty good job with their musical re-makes. Professor Harold Hill is played by Matthew Broderick in this incarnation. We will have to see how his performance is, but I think he definitely has the look. …

If you have not yet seen the iToilet, do take a look. It is a hilarious spoof at Apple, and specifically the iMac. There are quite a few jokes that will only make sense if you are familiar with Apple. It’s a good thing I worked at the Campus Store! …

I was surfing the IRS web site, and I noticed that you can file a tax return for previous years. Since I didn’t file last year, I am going to file for 2001 and 2002 this year. I will probably use one of the free e-file services listed on the IRS web site. There is no penalty for filing late. The extra money will come in handy. …

I’ve been pretty busy this week. I found a roommate the other day, and I am going to move in this Saturday. It’s not the apartment that I really wanted, but it will do. It’s small, but it has a decent-sized bedroom, which is big enough for two people, and it’s very close to campus. It will come in handy during lectureship.

I have a story that I would like to tell, along with a piece of advice about boy/girl relationships. Last week, a girl I have been chatting with on instant messenger asked me to call a boy that she had a crush on. She asked me to tell him that she liked him. I thought it would be fun, so I decided to take her up on it. I also like to see people get together, and it’s not always…

AOL Time Warner posted a net loss of 100 billion dollars for fiscal year 2002. This is the largest loss in corporate history. Ted Turner, the largest AOL shareholder, and Vice Chairman, announced he will be resigning from the company at the next shareholder’s meeting. Steve Case, the Chairman, announced his resignation in December. This is a huge blow to AOL. You can read the full report at Win Informant. For those of you still using AOL, switch to MSN…

I really appreciate the remarks the President made in The State of the Union Address Tuesday night. I must admit that I haven’t been following the threat of war too closely, and I definitely had no idea that Saddam had control over such a large amount of biological weapons, and weapons of mass destruction! It’s almost mind-blowing! Now that I know the facts, I agree that the President is justified in wanting to take military action against Iraq. Most of…
