A few years back, I traded in my old Ford Escape for a shiny new Jeep Wrangler. As with most new cars these days, it came with a satellite radio and a trial subscription to the satellite service. Usually, these trial subscriptions last about six months, just enough to get you hooked before sending you a bill to continue service. Somehow, though, the trial subscription on my Jeep lasted for over two years. I kept waiting for the bill, and it just never came. So, a few weeks ago, it finally ran out. It was bad. Because I don't drive very often, I keep forgetting to look at resubscribing, and have been listening to terrestrial radio for the last little while. Holy cow. I forgot how many commercials and obnoxious morning talk shows there are! After all those hours of commercial-free music, the first couple days were simply painful. I'm slowly getting used to it, but still miss that commercial-free, static-free music...
So, this week's coals go to...
- Terrestrial radio. Less annoying banter, more music, please!
- Myself. For breaking my bike's taillight. Don't ask, it's a long story.
Of course, this week's diamonds go to...
- Bay Photo. For sending me to the WPPI Road Show next week. I'm super stoked to see Jim Garner speak-- he's been a huge inspiration to me, and there is a great lineup of speakers for the San Jose event.
- Josh. Yes, I know he gets a lot of diamonds, but he deserves every one of them. This week he took care of the grocery shopping, and bought me honey yogurt and fresh blueberries for breakfast. Yum!
I know I promised photos from our Lake Tahoe trip, so next week will be kayak week on the blog! Stay tuned!
Have a great weekend!
