today is saturday 07 october 2006.

teachers conference yesterday . . . actually won something. books from bob wood and thurmond wisdom. the charisian presence won $25 from hobby lobby (though she wasn't there) . . . and last but not least--a sandisk sansa 2 gb mp3 player. everyone thought i already had a device like that--funny the looks i got when i told people that an mp3 player is something i didn't have.

embarrased to admit it took nearly an hour and a half to get it connected to meatloaf--i think it's the windows media player 11 beta that was giving fits . . . and then i have to go back and fix all the id tags--not fun.

fearless prediction--either the dodgers with maddux get killed later today . . . or we'll be playing until the end of the world series . . .
