I'm really enjoying XM radio, and haven't had any reception problems yet. There's a station for every occasion and you don't hear many repeats unless you're on a hits / top 20 station. I've found myself flipping through the decades stations (hits of each decade since the 40s), the rock stations, the global pop station, the classic jazz station, and a little soul/disco on the way home.

Today will be my last day at work for awhile. Tomorrow I plan on backing up and reinstalling my home computer. Saturday I have a wedding in Schley, Virginia, and then I'm going straight from there to the Outer Banks for a week. This is probably the first time that I've used more than 8 hours of leave time for a vacation. The gist of this ramble is that there will be no updates until September. You're probably used to it by now anyhow.

American Idol is in DC today. I could be the next Reuben Stoddard. I look and sing just like him.
