We’re off this Wednesday to the land of rain and cold. We’ll be packing for the next four days and then we’re off to Ireland and England for the following ten. Today was catch-up-shopping day: power adapters, khakis, and paperbacks were my primary goals. The most depressing purchase? Currency.

Yes, almost as frustrating as our experience getting the new HD TiVo set up* was turning our hard-earned US Dollars into far more valuable (and thus far less plentiful) Pounds and Euros. I can’t wait until we arrive and can spend it all on $8 pints and $10 sandwiches.

I just noticed that this is post ID# 500. I think I’ve deleted a few here or there, but at a week over six years since my first entry, it’s as good a milestone as any. Happy birthday, blog.

*More on the ridiculous Comcast CableCard experience later.
