Well for the Mike and Brooke fam this has been an eventful week. Let's see...movers took an extra day so my limited time to help the family move was more limited, broke my monitor, broke my printer, air conditioner went totally out and needs a 1600 dollar replacement on the Oklahoma house, broke my lawn mower so I borrowed my new neighbors and that broke while I was using it, and today when Brooke took the girls over to the house to grab something off the kitchen counter she left Jane in the car (the driver's seat) and she started playing with the electric seat and proceeded to back it up over Sadie's leg behind her which severely hyperextended it and Sadie can't walk right now. Run on sentence I know, how about a run on week..ENOUGH ALREADY!! So we might need to take sadie in to the Doc if she is not walking by tomorrow night. Poor girl and of course Jane feels terrible. Lesson learned: Don't let your kid in the driver's seat, ever.
The good news. We are in our new house. It is for the most part set up and it is wonderful. By next week we should be golden. It can only go up from here. The A's are now up 1.5 games on Texas after an 18th inning single by Jermaine Dye and the Giants just won a great game. Doom 3 came out this week which is a big deal for my hobby, computer games. Doom 3 is significant because the programmer, John Carmack is an absolute genius and constantly is pushing the envelope on what computers can do with graphics. After not being able to hook up with Brent and Tom in the new ESPN football game over XBOX live for a couple of weeks, we finally got in a game each. I beat Brent but Tom layed the scunion down on me. I now have a 'Den" that everyone can be jealous of and well worth a visit by any one of you.
The week ahead: I have a 8 mile road march tomorrow at 0430. We are at the machine gun ranges this week (the ones you visited Tom). Brooke will continue to knock out as much of the house as possible with her bum back. I'll have to get the two lawn mowers repaired and I am trying to get the Probe ready to put out on the lot for sale now that I have the new truck. The name, haven't decided yet but I really like "Bobby Brown':) Much to Dave's chagrin. Like I said, hopefully this week will go better. Madden 2005 comes out this week, first time it will be playable over XBOX live so Tom and Brent we will have to get it, at least rent it and see if it is better than ESPN. ESPN is pretty dang good. I'll have to sell some games on ebay to get it but I think it will be worth it.
That is about all the excitement in our life. We love you all and good to see you using the blog. I sure like checking it out every morning.

Mike
