Soccer:
I scored 4 goals last night in our last game of the indoor session.  I was happy to end on a note like that.  I scored 6 goals all season long.  We start outdoor today and we are supposed to have a pretty good squad. 

Life:
I am getting really excited about our new condo.  We checked it out over the weekend and they are making good progress.  All the doors and molding is up.  everything is painted.  shouldn’t be to much longer.
Chrisitna graduates from Eastern her masters in PSY Sunday. I’m very proud of her, she has worked hard. Our families are going to the Gandy Dancer in AA afterward to celebrate. She also started working as a finacial counselor at Greenpath Financial last week.  They are putting her through a 3-week fully paid training program. She says its boring as all hell, but she is learning about money.

I took the FE exam last Saturday.  It was hard. There was a lot of material that I have never seen before.  I would have done better if i would have taken it two years ago when the material was fresh. I will know in 10-12 weeks though.

Tech:
I’ll write more on this later… I am tired of this post already. I am able to stream my recorded programs from mythtv over the internet now. Last Thurday i watched an ultimate fighting show that i recorded.  I also watched South Park at work too.  It works suprisingly well.

Yesterdays warm weather!!!
Time to stock up on Zima, Smirnoff Ice Wild Grape, and Boones Farm.
Those tasty Malt beverages are all delicious on a hot summer day poured over a tall glass of Ice - is simply refreshing.

 

Re: MythTV.
The Card I have is the Hauppauge PVR-150. It is a great card but does not have video out.  I have S-Vid out on my Radeon 7000 video card, but that is el cheapo, and requires additional configuration in Linux to work properly.  I jumped past both of these problems by purchasing a scan converter which I will promptly return once I order my Hauppauge PVR-350, which has video out.

 

Re: Life
Christina started her job search in overdrive and had 3 interviews after one week of looking.  She already accepted an offer and starts April 17th.  She was accepted to a PhD. Program but is considering a different career route.  She will graduate with her masters in 2 weeks. Meanwhile, I continue to shape and mold the perfect butt grove in our couch!

 

Re: Condo. 
We bought a condo in Van Buren Township!  Imagine that… VBBoy in Van Buren.  It is brand new construction and we get to pick everything. We got some money maple cabinets and a sweet gas fireplace.  Has wooden floors, 1700sq ft., it is sweet pad.
