Wi-Fi in the Sky

Ok....so it isn't like the $9.95 was burning a hole in my pocket...but I couldn't resist. This was my first opportunity to experience high speed (relatively high - see screenshot of speed tests) wireless Internet in the sky during a plane flight from Dallas to Denver. So far so good. In fact, I would say it is as good as hotel or Starbucks Wi-Fi speeds.

On the one hand, Internet access is so ubiquitous nowadays, it doesn't seem that strange. But on the other hand...I'M ON A PLANE SURFING THE NET.

Unfortunately, I didn't charge my notebook battery, so this will be a very short test. :(

Phillip McCord's picture in newspaper

Dear Family:
 
We were proud to see Phillip McCord's smiling face on the back page (number 24) of the January 14, 2010 Wheat Ridge Transcript.  I have attached most of the add as a "pdf" file to this e-mail.  His picture is part of an add for Bellco Credit Union, which is a sponsor of the Bear Creek High School's instrumental music program.  Phillip has since graduated from Bear Creek High. 
 
Yea and thank you to Bellco Credit Union (www.bellco.org ). 
 
Love, Leslie

Leleda just got engaged...

I received this message (and photo) from Leleda, a co-worker and friend.  It was a wonderful suprise!  Congratulations and best of luck to Leleda & Jamaal!
 
My most beloved friends, I wanted to say thank you for your love, best wishes, and genuine excitment on my engagement.
The picture was taken by a total stranger who happened to be present at the right place and time.  He took the shot minutes after Jamaal proposed to me on 12/31/2009.
