Been a month since I posted, pretty long month too. Those of you in touch with me on Facebook know some of this, if not all.

Highlights, other than lots and lots of time with kimmalat, would include:

• my second (and her first) Jimmy Buffett concert, SummerZcool at Concord Pavilion, last week

80 degrees in and out, Fahrenheit for those of you worried that I'll boil.

Got my car maintained today.

Previous (12k/15k) maintenance was 5/8/08 at 18505 miles.
Current (25k/30k) maintenance was 1/8/09 at 30275 miles.

I only ran about 400 miles beyond the car computer's analysis... so yeah, 12k on one oil change, and the dealer wasn't too surprised.

Several false starts this year, one way or another. It's a scary number but I can keep my socks on.

One true and mutual love, to wrap the year up with and begin a new one with.

Blu-Ray update since my previous request for suggestions.

* Blue Man Group as mentioned before.

* Got Wall-E 2-Disc Set for Christmas from kimmalat

* Fry's had Stargate (Kurt Russell/James Spader) for $13 so we got it.

There were a few others we were considering, but with these three to watch (and a lot of standard def), we held off.
