February 16, 2006 "It must be Cedar Key"

This will be short, because the only access here is in the library. Cedar Key is a delightful old time fishing village, that is now starting to be developed. Many of the properties are >$500,000 now and I'm afraid the character of the town will change. With the help of friendly neighbors at the Sunset Isle RV Resort we got parked and hooked up to all utilities for the first time:water, electric sewer and cable(a luxury for Anne who loves the Olympics). We've been to all the state and national wildlife preserves in the area and have been birding daily. We 'dipped' (did not find) the Red Cockated Woodpecker which we have searched for in all the right places for 5+years.

Villanova basketball

I hope some of you got to watch the Villanova vs. UConn game the other night, it was intense! Villanova beat the #1 team in the country and there were many lead changes back and forth that made for an exciting game.

Keep an eye out on Nova basketball, this is our best chance to go all the way in a long time.

Blogging

I recently "subscribed" freely to NPR's podcast from the iTunes music store (you should all check out podcasts if you have an ipod and EVEN if you have only iTUNES - you can still listen to the free podcasts on your computer) it's nice to be able to listen at your own leisure.

On this podcast they give the day's "best" segment and today's was on blogging, which I found relevant to this new site.

The woman was talking about how her husband and she now measured events by whether or not they were "blog-worthy" and that her husband would be disappointed if she hadn't read his blog before going to bed. It was very funny in parts - if you can get the podcast and download 2/14's installment you should listen to it.
