My iPod Touch is no longer an ipod

I purchased a set of Apple iPod earphones with Remote and Mic five months ago. They now pause and start "Play" all by themselves. It's great. I enjoy the stuttering ambiance it creates while I am listening to podcasts and music. Until I can find a set of reasonably priced earphones that are robust enough to last more than a few months, my Touch will reside on my nightstand as an expensive alarm clock.

What are you growing overnight? Gil Hedley: Fascia and stretching: The Fuzz Speech

Fuzzy doesn't always mean cute. Stretch every day. Keep your body fit. Increase the time before your body ends up on an anatomy class table.

Certainly won't be buying California strawberries from now on. Need to ask restaurants the origin of their fraises des bois. [A rose by any other name? ;-) ]

Am I an "official Prize Winner"?

Today I received a postcard stating that I may have won two new automobiles or $49K. Maybe a cruise, a two day getaway with airfare or perhaps a seven day cruise. I'm so excited but I have to hurry. I must call within 72 hours. Wait. The missive mentions the offer expires in the middle of June. Whew! Thought I might miss out. Now I must decide which prize I will select and with whom I will share this happy time. Decisions. Decisions.
