Here is a picture of one of the two speakers that were installed in our family room. The speakers in the Mater bedroom and bathroom are similar but round in shape and the speakers in the kitchen are actually stand alone units that just sit on top of the kitchen cabinets. I think the sound in the kitchen is much better than any other area of the house. The fact that we have standard height ceilings in the kitchen probably contributes to the better sound.

I went out and purchased the sirius satellite radio today and much to my suprise, the playboy station was included in my subscription. What the hell is playboy radio? Is it 24 hours of moaning and heavy breathing? I will have to check it out, it may be fun. I opted for a cheap receiver and the home kit so I could connect it to our audio system.


Getting ready to go on a golf vacation with my Dad and two of his friends to Florance SC. The weather had been pretty warm lately but looks like it is taking a dump lately. Looks like highs in the upper 60's are the norm for this time of year...I'll take it considering that we had a dusting of snow on the ground this morning. Should be more golf, beer and food than I really need but I am looking forward to it........I think!?! The one thing that I'm not looking forward to is the long drive with 4 guys. I rented a mini-van from Alamo/Priceline for $18 a day (my best priceline deal to date). That van is going to be ripe by the time I return it.

Shawn's third and final birthday party is tommorrow (yes he is spoiled). I don't think that I had three birthday parties my entire childhood.

Happy St. Patrick's Day!! Tip back a green beer or Irish whiskey and at least act like you are from the land of little drunk green men for the day.
