I like my iPod. But I like it even more now. It’s got a sense of humor.
Earlier today, I put the iPod on shuffle. Which means it’ll shuffle the songs on the iPod (all 1,258 of them) and play them.
The 10th song was “Saturday Night,” by the Eagles. You may know the song. From the [...]

A while back, I mentioned that I, once again, had a complete collection of the Beatles’ music.
I used to have all the Beatles’ albums, back when music came on 12” vinyl. But, a divorce can wreak havoc on a music collection.

Ever since I bought my iPod back in August, I’ve been carrying it in my shirt pocket when listening to it.
I don’t like doing that.
And, now I don’t do it any more.
Just the other day, I finally bought a carrying case for it. It has a belt clip, and yes, I clip it on my [...]
Got a new car back in December. I like the new Chevrolet. It’s what I wanted in a car. So, we got it.
It’s the first car I’ve had with a CD player built-in. So, that tells you about the level of importance … or lack of importance … I put on the music system in [...]

Not that I’m not a typical guy. I think I’m pretty typical.
But, experience teaches me to read the instructions.
Good decisions come from experience. Experience comes from bad [...]

To which of my three sisters am I directing the question?
Each of them.

Each of you must answer the question independently. And you might get help from the others by reading their comments. But no collaboration, sis. Or sisses.
So, to [...]

A while back, the Wife … and then I … got iPods. She got the Shuffle … and that’s really cool, by the way … while I got the big iPod. Not the Nano, but the one with the bigger video screen.
Of course, this was all shortly before they came out with the new iPods. [...]

The Wife and I went on a trip this past weekend. We sort of went to Atlanta.
I say “sort of,” because that’s not where we were planning on going to start with. And not were we ended up. But where we stopped along the way. And not just to grab a bite. But we did [...]
