I'm in Philadelphia with the family for an allergy (egg) challenge for Zach. Was planning to take daughters around the city while Julia stays with Zachary. Figured I would just use my iPhone and google maps to wing it for the day... AT&T is incredibly spotty in the city. Luckily I brought my verizon MiFi so I can at least access the Internet. I'm so off AT&T when the iPhone is on any other network!
Oh boy... What did I get myself into!

I hate having a garage sale, but it's so hard to throw stuff out that is in good working order. Also very tough for the wife to part with kid's old clothes, toys and miscellanea. Every one full of a memory that we all want to hold to dearly. But garage sale we had yesterday morning. We put it in the paper for "rain or shine" and with the weather expected to be awful, Julia thought I was nuts. But even though it was scheduled for 8am, when I put signs out around the neighborhood ( at 7am) that pointed to our house, cars lined up like the closing scene from "Field of Dreams". It seems that, due to the weather, we were the only game in town. It starts with the "professionals" that get there as early as possible and bargain the hardest. As amatures, we never know what to ask for but the rule of thumb is "if it doesn't go now it goes on garbage day"... Thank God it's over!
David Gilmour is not a fast or technically precise player, but he always seems to make every note count... The BBC always has these cool and interesting shows.
I've just registered for technorati.com and part of the process to claim my blog is to post this code ("magic cookie" for you old unix hackers...)
Luckily the weather held off.... As you can see from the last picture, we packed up and left just before the rain came down.
Focus on the process, not the result. Can’t be scared to loose (invest in loss), and can’t let self-worth be wrapped up in success or failure. Competition and achievement have to be balanced by a love of the learning process (for whatever).
All the notes are great, but particularly liked this one...
Thanks Chris, I don't need to read the book now;)
