I just watched the last episode of The Sopranos. Ever since it ended I stayed away from the website, the reviews, the stories. I didn’t want to know how it ended.

I have to say I ended up disappointed. I invested a lot of time over the years watching the episodes, keeping current, enjoying it for the most part. The first half of Season 6 was average and started losing me. The second half was good and the last couple of episodes (before the finale) really got me interested. I was thinking that it could end quite well…. alas, it sucked and I felt like I wasted a fair amount of time.

Grrrrr.. Curse The Family… and Good Riddance. I’ve still got 24… or a comedy so the drama doesn’t ruin it in the end.

It’s official. Destination Angerer/Motylinksi (2) is Cancun, MX. After this arctic cold spell we have been experiencing here, I am ready for some sun. We’ve been debating back and forth over the last couple of months about a cruise, a carribbean destination, or a Mexican destination. We finally settled on Cancun for a week at the end of February. I can’t wait for the beach, the booze, the sun, and maybe some snorkeling… oh and the mule ride.

On a second note, Tina and I attended the AVP Hot Winter Nights tournament at the Target Center last night. It was cool to see the pros play. Some of the names were non-descript if you don’t follow the AVP, but they are still pros. The played King of the Beach style which made it interesting. All of the matches were pretty even which was surprising. I figured there would be at least one pairing either on the Men’s or Women’s side that would dominate.

After talk of all the sun, I am hoping it’s a cure for what I think is a flu or cold bug that I coming down with. I’ve had a sore throat the last two days and I can feel it slowly creeping into my ears, nose, and head. I’m waiting/dreading the morning I wake up with a full blown infection or flu. Unfortunately most of the medicine that helps me is the drowsy kind that makes a guy feel weird. So it’ll have to wait for the weekend.

Speaking of this weekend, it’s the Annual Sno-ball Open. At this point it looks like I will be staying home as it won’t do much for my pending misery. Drinking outdoors while golfing on a large slab of ice tend not to help these situations.

P.S. I finally got an iPhone. It’s been everything I thought it would be and more… next up is a MacBook Pro.

Well after a lot of back forth with myself, I finally purchased an iPhone. So far so good. I’m impressed with it’s functionality and usability.

It’ll be interesting to see what kind of webapps I can find to run on it. Hell I might rent a movie sometime!

So I am weeding through a web service at work and I find this comment in the code.

‘Nuff said. If you know you’ll appreciate it and maybe even chuckle.

Last night we also held the End of the Year Banquet for Volleyball. We served out 9 cans of beer. It was also Scoop’s retirement party. I think he’s got a little Rocket Roger in him though. Juice him up a little and he’ll be playing again. Farewell Scoop.
