Finnegan's Pub is the place to be in Huntsville, Alabama. Karen and I will be heading over there today around lunch in order to do things right.
I hope you can join us. If you can't join us, I suggest that you at least stop by some Irish site.
Rediscoverying the Yeah Yeah Yeahs
I see the Yeah Yeah Yeahs are coming out with a new album, but I had forgotten the great songs they had made in the past.
It is amazing how a little reminder can bring back many things.
On their Fever to Tell album, they have a great tune in the song “Maps“. The sound just runs on forever in your mind after hearing it.
And if it doesn't run on in your mind, their web site may stick in your mind or your nightmares.
Building a Computer Based DVR
I am ordering Apple's new Intel based Mac Mini
But, the Mac Mini's internal hard drive is too small so I going to purchase LaCie's 250 GB Mini External Hard Drive with FireWire Interface
I am going to use Apple's Wireless Keyboard
Olde Towne Brewing Company's Donation
Don Alan Hankins of the Olde Towne Brewing Company has donated a keg of their Hefeweizen beer for the Holy Family School Silent Auction.
Don Alan is great guy. He supports the whole Madison county area in any way that he can. He has even let groups use his brewery as a place to host an event. He is one of the nicest people you will meet. And, he brews great beers.

Heading home from Colorado Springs
I was out here to support a missile test. Like most missile or rocket tests, we had delays and delays. The real bummer was that I had to head into work at midnight each night. Yuck! Your body does not like switching its night and days.
It was great having Karen join me out here for a few days. She had a blast shopping. Her favorite buy was a neckless from Everest Tibet Imports in downtown Colorado Springs on Bijou Street.
The Blue Star
Saturday night, I ate at The Blue Star in Colorado Springs.
I had the “Whole Trout with blue corn crust, chipotle cheddar grits, grilled chayote fan and red eye sauce”.
Wow!
It was great. And, I had it with Bristol Brewing Company's Beehive which complemented the fish well.
I had thought about dessert, but the service was so slow with the crowd. I gave up. The hostess was servicing my table more the waitress. The waitress was mainly working the larger groups and I was by myself.
Finished Dr. Nightingale Enters the Bear Cave
My trip to Colorado Springs allowed be to finish reading Dr. Nightingale Enters the Bear Cave
It was a good read. Didi’s adventure into the woods leads to murder and mystery.
