To fix some problems with the feeds and track/pingbacks, I have updated the blog software to v1.5.1.1.

To be done Friday…
So, I called the builder yesterday, and they said that closing should be Friday. I really hope they’re right this time. They said they found a chip in the Corian countertops, so they were ordering a new sheet. It would be so nice to spend my 3-day weekend moving into the house. We’ll see how it goes…
Volunteer Day
Today was volunteer day for me. I signed up through IBM to go volunteer at the local Catalina Magnet High School. We moved a bunch of old 300-400 MHz computers out of a lab and moved some new computers from across the campus into it. It was actually pretty fun, even though it was hot outside…I could really use the physical exercise.
Visit to Hobbs
This past weekend, I got the “opportunity” to go back to visit Hobbs, NM. Actually, it was a planned trip to go see my girlfriend’s sister graduate high school. She graduated from the same high school that we went to. We flew out on Saturday from Phoenix to Midland, TX. The reason we chose Phoenix is that for some odd reason Southwest doesn’t fly from Tucson to Midland…they don’t even fly from Tucson to Lubbock. This is a bit strange, because Southwest does fly from Tucson to El Paso, and from El Paso to Midland…but you cannot choose this route via their website. Anyway, it was nice to see my dad and take a couple days off. I got a chance to go to the new Black Gold Casino in Hobbs, and then got to play 9 holes of golf in 102 degree temperatures.
All in all, a great trip.
