First, the bad news:
- It is now officially cold in Boston. The warm weather was nice while it lasted
Next, the good news:
- I got a pleasant surprise recently when I logged into my eMusic account. After a few months on the eMusic Lite plan ($5/month for 20 songs) my subscription automatically upgraded to the Basic plan. Since the new pricing structure is in effect, I expected that it would only get me 30 songs. However, I was wrong. My account page says I have 40 songs to download. So, evidently, the fact that I remained a member with a subscription that was going to automatically upgrade to the Basic plan locked me into the old, better rate. That was a pleasant surprise.
- I got an envelope from some LA law consultants the other day concerning the bankruptcy proceedings for the now-defunct Independence Air. Normally, getting a large envelope from a law firm wouldn’t be a good thing, but in this case it was. My wife and I had bought two tickets for impromptu travel back to Boston after our car was written off during a trip back to Pittsburgh in the Fall of 2005. However, we ultimately decided not to use the tickets; we bought a car in Pittsburgh and drove it back to Boston instead. We couldn’t get a refund on our tickets but we did get flight credits with Indepedence Air worth over $300. When they went out of business, I figured our money was gone. However, this was an erroneous assumption. It turns out that we’ll be getting some of that money back as part of the airline’s bankruptcy proceedings. Unfortunately, we can only get back money that was for personal travel and since my trip was for business I can’t get a refund for my ticket. However, we can claim for Heather’s ticket, so we’ll be getting more than $150 back! That said, since these legal proceedings have a tendency to drag on and on, we might not actually get this money until after we retire.

I like the fact that you now have a ‘weather’ category.
I like it, too.
genius.
whereas… this…
tragic, just tragic: http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20070111/ap_on_fe_st/serbia_pig_fire
let’s give a moment of silence to those poor pigs. i feel bad for them – no names, no mention, no nothing, just “the pigs perished.”
they was just looking for what we all look for – some TEEEEEEE VEEEEEE!
it’s too bad the farmer’s tv would result in flames.
mmm… bacon… mmmmmmm… pork…
of course, the thing about bacon, ham, pork, and other such goodness is that it is the pigs’ honor to become such enjoyable… perishables for us to consume! there are a select few who do not go down this honorable path, but they live honorably in other ways, such as Babe the SheepPig in “Babe,” one of the greatest movies ever. man, what a great movie.
“baa ram ewe”
how did this relate to weather?
i. don’t. know.
