171 - First TGIF of 2009 !

There'll be a lot of "first" things of 2009, and as far as TGIF's go, this is going to be a much needed one already! It's been a very busy week, and I'll be glad to relax over the weekend.

Well, Microsoft is highly touting the new Windows 7 that they're writing. I already have a Beta version of it running on a PC at home, and I can tell you, if they keep going as it is now, it'll be a lot nicer than Vista (and I like Vista). It's definitely faster, has a cleaner interface, there's some nice amenities, new looks to common things like Notepad, Paint and a BIG change for something as simple as Calculator that'll make many people smile. I'm hoping to get on the official Beta testers list very soon.

I found recently, this really cool website, all about "6 word sentences". Check it out and see if you don't catch yourself trying to make some! *chuckling*

I got a picture sent to me today from my friend Mike that we went on our cruise with in December.. here it is:

It's me, talking to my daughter on the phone while on the cruise ship, having my first Pina Colada!

37 more days and I'll be in Curacao.. relaxing and enjoying the warm Southern Caribbean breezes!

 

Other than that, not too much new.

And now, for a joke:

10 Husbands, Still a Virgin

A lawyer married a woman who had previously divorced ten husbands.
On their wedding night, she told her new husband, "Please be gentle, I'm still a virgin."
"What?" said the puzzled groom.
"How can that be if you've been married ten times?"
"Well, Husband #1 was a sales representative: he kept telling me how great it was going to be.
Husband #2 was in software services: he was never really sure how it was supposed to function, but he said he'd look into it and get back to me.
Husband #3 was from field services: he said everything checked out diagnostically but he just couldn't get the system up.
Husband #4 was in telemarketing: even though he knew he had the order, he didn't know when he would be able to deliver.
Husband #5 was an engineer: he understood the basic process but wanted three years to research, implement, and design a new state-of-the-art method.
Husband #6 was from finance and administration: he thought he knew how, but he wasn't sure whether it was his job or not.
Husband #7 was in marketing: although he had a nice product, he was never sure how to position it.
Husband #8 was a psychologist: all he ever did was talk about it.
Husband #9 was a gynecologist: all he did was look at it.
Husband #10 was a stamp collector: all he ever did was... God! I miss him! But now that I've married you, I'm really excited!"
"Good," said the new husband, "but, why?"
"You're a lawyer. This time I know I'm gonna get screwed!"

Have a great weekend!
