I would be remiss if I didn't mention that my alma mater, the University of Wisconsin at Whitewater, finally managed to win the NCAA Division III Football championship after losing twice to Mount Union College of Ohio.

And as for the NCAA Division III Player of the Year Justin Beaver: I hope your name gets called during the NFL draft, buddy.

This was going to be my attempt at blogging via my Wii Console's Internet Channel, but it's not going very well.

... realizing that even though you decided to upgrade to Office 2K7, you can still keep your copies of Word and Excel 2K3, which is what about 99% of the stuff you have was created with.
... getting Excel 2K7 to work the way you want it to (namely, sans ribbon).
... still having some money after the bills are paid (though that probably won't last through the next two months).
... realizing you're gonna be heading to Arizona after the first of the year - when you really need to be down there.
... seeing your father doing immensely better than he was a little under two months ago.
... getting some time to actually post on your blog.
