Sunday and the Living is Easy

It's Sunday and definitely a day of rest. Shelley and Jaime are flaked out on the couches watching Gray's Anatomy. I think they are on their 4th show in a row. It is so easy to buy a whole year of any show you want. There are stores that sell these DVD's as well as vendors on a street corner. Michel has someone he calls his video guy. I prefer simply downloading shows or movies off the net. It somehow seems less morally corrupt eliminating the middle person.

We will have visitors later today. Stephanie Albert and a friend will stay for a couple of days. Stephanie grew up on the same street as Jaime and Jordan and is about 2 years older than Jaime. Shelley taught her at Mother Teresa. Stephanie has been in India becoming qualified to teach Yoga at the highest level. They were supposed to stay with friends in Kuala Lumpur but failed to make contact. Shelley has her as a friend on Facebook. Her sister Chantal is a friend and football buddy of Dorota.

I can see that after a few days of RnR I will be bored. No doubt Brent will find some programming chores for me. It will also be time to learn something new. I find that learning makes me happy. I have also been following the phone platform wars and the battle is heating up. You can now buy phones with a screen resolution of 480 by 800 which means a very decent browser experience on the web. Combine that with a camera resolution of 5 mega pixels with flash, gps, wifi, and of course phone features and all of a sudden one device does everything. My favourite device at the moment is the HTC HD2 but there are some very good competitors appearing in the next 2 months.

Jordan flies out in 16 days and hopefully he is studying hard for his exams which are happening over the next 2 weeks. We are all looking forward to giving him a great big hug.

TTYL,

Jim
