Last night, Patty and I opened another present each - Patty got a DVD of Scrooged and a book (Wicked - the story of the Wicked Witch of the West, from her point of view), and I got a set of blocks. Yes, I am weird, but I like them - every time I saw a set I wanted them, and now I have a set of my very own. If you wish to come over, you can play with them too. I don't know why a set of simple wooden cubes with letters/numbers/pictures on them so fascinate me.

On TV - we watched 'The Preacher's Wife' - featuring a nearly drug-free Whitney Houston when she actually had some talent left in her.

In more recent news, today the backups worked except for the w2k box. I think I see a pattern. If I do a full backup, it works. The differential fails. Maybe a problem seeing the file dates or the like? I'll have to research that further.
