Phil Stratton's Brain

OK, It's been a while.

I now have a new job. Well, I start on December 12th. I'm not leaving because of any problems at my current job. It just wasn't challenging me. You can only review so many documents and make so many PowerPoint slides. I guess it's just not my style.

Got a new toy the other day. My son saw it on the clearance rack at Wal-Mart and had to get it for me. It's a Homer Simpson that attaches to the dash board of your car. He has an automatic and a manual mode. In automatic mode, he has a motion sensor that makes him say things (I haven't decided if he is saying them to me, or the other drivers. I like to think it's the other drivers.). I think what sold my son was the phrase "Your child may be an honor student, but YOU'RE a MORON". He was in my hand for about 5 minutes before he was attached to my dash. The sensor is a little too sensitive, so he's on manual mode.

I've been really getting into WoW lately (which explains why I haven't blogged lately). I may be having too much fun. I now have 6 characters on 3 servers. Yesterday was a bummer. I don't remember where I was with my 25th level hunter, but all of a sudden, I lost my connection. No problem, I'm getting used to that. My Comcast connection drops a lot lately (ok. it may be me). So I try to get back on and I get a message saying the server has crashed! 40 minutes before we go into a dungeon together as a guild! BUMMER!

Thanksgiving dinner was good. Turkey, ham, mashed potatoes, Arabic rice (can't figure out how to spell it), and of course, chocolate chip pecan pie! Good food, good friends, good time. Didn't stay too long because Marie had to work at 5:00 AM the next day (BLACK FRIDAY!).

Well, time to go to church. Got to go.
