New Year, New Blog

Wow, it's January 9 already! It's been a busy new year so far. There's new furniture for the living room. The old furniture has moved to other rooms or out to the garage -- we are sore and creaky from pushing all that heavy stuff around.

And Gus the pool man came and replaced the leaking old booster pump for the pool cleaning robot. Yes, I said pool man and not pool boy. Gus is a short, wiry 70 year-old local of Greek ancestry. Now he has to come back and fix the new leaks he made. Could a cute younger pool person have done as good a job? Not likely.

Fredo Alvarez's excellent blog, Grapefeed, has his Uberlist for 2006. There's a link to Grapefeed down and on the right. He gave himself a 106 tasks. This may inspire me to post an official to do list for the coming year and next January document how much got done.

Our weather has been crazy. Two days ago the low temperature was 28F and today it will get up to 75F (24C). The metric conversion is for our UK readers.


Here's something that may help to start the New Year off right.

These are photos of U.K. soap star, Philip Olivier. He has Heat magazine's Torso of the Year. >>>
