My DSL modem is still dead in the water, so to speak. I strongly suspect it’ll have to be replaced. I hope the phone company who supplied it doesn’t argue about it. It won’t be pretty if they do….

Today is the birthday of Rick Springfield. Can you believe he’s 59 years old? And he still looks good!

We had a lightning strike here yesterday which has got a bunch of stuff out of whack. It fried my mom’s VCR (but not the TV which we find very odd since they were plugged into the same so-called surgre protector). And it’s got my DSL modem and router all cranky. Right now I’m having to piggyback off our neighbor’s wi-fi.

In the “Say it ain’t so!” category, I read yesterday that when Stargate: Atlantis ends its season in January that will be the end of the series except for movies. *sigh*

And now the Olympics report… [»]
