My 5-year old son, Doug, has almost finished Chapter 3 of "Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door" on the GameCube as of this morning. He's ranked #1 in Glitzville after beating Rawk Hawk, but hasn't been able to get past Grubba in the final fight of the level. Hopefully, a few more Fire Flowers and a Thunder Rage will do the trick. I keep trying to tell him to lose the Zap Tap badge and equip the FP Plus badge, but the lightning bolts just look too cool for him to pass up. He's one Star Piece short of getting Power Plus, and it's been holding him back.

I'll keep you posted.

I have progressed from thinking about cleaning my garage to thinking I might clean my garage this weekend.

I stayed up late enough last night to see my computer calendar updated automatically. I might try it again tonight to see if it was a fluke.

Then again, maybe not...!

You(and another poster) are probably right. This should have been posted under "Off Topic." I must have still been asleep when I started this up. I just found the "Update" mania to be a little comical. That's all. This was not an attempt to hurt anyone's feelings.

Straightline winds blew 3 tractor trailors off of I-30 in Leary, TX. That is only 5 miles from the church where I work, but we're still standing. I'll keep you posted if updates are warranted.

I still have a brand-new, unused, totally primo Ross Perot for President bumper sticker that I picked up hoping it will be worth something some day. I'm sure it's worth every bit as much as I paid for it.

UPDATE!!

I finally finished reading all the update posts. Since it's over 70 degrees for the first time this spring today, it is now time to sit outside, practice, and do some grilling.

This is the latest update, as far as I know. There is now a "Sanity Update" to be found on TubeNet. I'll try to keep everyone updated.

Actually, it is in the "Off Topic" section, where it belongs.

I now have 867 instruments inventoried in my attempt to create a serial number/date index for York instruments.

I just tested my newest mouthpiece: The Bach 0.018 BN. Super extra large, 320mm internal diameter with the special "BN" bowl scientifically contoured for playing the Brown Note.

I tried it at a local government meeting. Although it worked perfectly, the air in the room was already too permeated with BS to permit anyone to notice the change.

UPDATE:

Friends, I must say goodbye to you as I have been diagnosed with severe DHMO (Dihydrogen Monoxide) poisoning. The doctor says I have to give up playing the tuba because my body just can't take it. He said that the only instruments I can play if I want to continue playing music are viola and saxophone.

Nasty stuff. They say it's everywhere. In our rivers, streams, the food we eat, even the air we breathe. It's amazing more people don't have your condition.

I can't practice tuba now. The cutworms are in my hollihocks again.
