THE PEOPLE MUST HAVE THEIR DAN MILLER

Non rubiks post!

Yes folks, it’s a non-Rubiks cube related post. We are trying to get back into the Y swing of things. I went running this morning (new 5k record of 28:57) and Carolyn was going to take the kids. Actually last night we decided she was just going to go with the littl’ns but then we remembered this morning is one of those “fake” holidays where I still have to work but we get no mail and the kids are off school (that would be Presidents Day for those following along). So then I believe she was going to just go with all of them. Amy was very excited to go to the “Cool Club” and mentioned it several times in her prayer this morning – all about how she was going to climb on the (rock) wall and play computer games and then something about 3 of something that I didn’t quite get.

So we have been TV free for 3 weeks now. One thing that has been interesting is our drop in current event followage. I wouldn’t say that we were ever on the “cutting edge” of current events, but I think I’ve noticed that we are even less so now with no TV. When we had the TV, occasionally we’d hit the news channels (CNN, Fox News, etc) as we were flipping and we’d at least get a hold of some of the “big” news. Now we don’t even get this. The other day on the radio as I was driving in, I heard that some ex-NBA player came out of the closet a week or so previously. And apparently Anna Nicole Smith is dead?!

It’s not that I particularly CARE about these events – in fact when we had a TV, that was one of the annoying parts about it – how the media would just latch on to all these stories that really weren’t that interesting. But I find it somewhat interesting that Anna Nicole Smith has been dead (for 11 days) and I had no idea. Perhaps I should subscribe to some news RSS feeds with my awesome Google Reader?

Okay – I lied – one Rubik’s note. In my last post, I mentioned how I was a champion at the weekly FMC. As I somewhat suspected, not all the results were in – last night sometime (or probably early this morning UK time) more results were added, and I actually finished 5th, which makes a lot more sense.
