We've had the new computer for a week now, and I can't even express how much better it is than the old one. I like finally having a CD burner. I'm still exploring it, but I gotta say I'm pretty pleased with it so far. I had to buy a new joystick because the thing doesn't have a serial port, but it has 6 USB ports so I got a better joystick anyway. The game that was too much for the old computer to run is fun. My favorite cars (it's a racing game) so far are the Dodge Viper, the Jaguar and the '70 Chevelle. The Chevelle can dust 'em all. Beth and I finally got to see "Pirates of the Caribbean" tonight, which was extremely entertaining. Thumbs way up. On the way we gave a lift to a man and his 5-year-old son who were stranded on the freeway because their Jeep had actually been struck by lightning on the road. I bet it fried their alternator because it just died on them, and they were stuck in a downpour and nobody was stopping to help them. We gave them a lift to his brother-in-law's house a few miles away. Coincidentally, the boy's name was Alex. And our Alex has had another milestone; last week he sat in his exersaucer for the first time. He really likes it. He always seems to be trying to sit up lately but he can't, and I think he gets really frustrated at that. He likes to be held up or sat up and look around. But, he drools a lot when he does. Last weekend we all went to Indianapolis to visit PJ and Roma and Isabella, the little girl they just adopted. They were having a baby shower for Roma, since she hadn't had one before Isabella came to them.
