Sitting in Denver, CO

I had a busy busy week in Denver for a Multiple Sclerosis meeting. I landed on Wednesday and I'm sitting in the airport now getting ready to depart for Philly. I never realized how tired you can get by just standing. We were working an exhibit for a client of ours. It was only 2 days but it felt like a whole week.

My Aunt lives about 70 miles south of Denver, and she came up to visit me in Denver yesterday. I haven't seen her for a couple of years now. It was really good to she her, and she informed me one of the altitude can have a lot to do with how tired you feel here. Who knew?

. . . Random a guy has now just "jogged" by my gate at the airport 3 times. He's in a t-shirt and running shorts! Wow! I wonder if he is living in the airport?!?!?

My brother-in-law just told me there is a Tornado warning in place until 5pm EST great my plane is suppose to land at 4. I really really hope they don't delay my plane. I want to get home!!

Who's a bad blogger??

May is almost over and I'm just now making my first post of the month . . . yeah I kind of dropped off of the grid there for a while. Tomorrow is the Annual Memorial Day Clam Bake, Always a great time. I will be making my world famous taco/nacho cheese dip. (It's pretty awesome if you ask me) I'm planning on taking the camera and I will hopefully get to post some pictures of the day.

So I'm going to go a on a little bit of a rant here so please bare with me. I purchased a wireless router right before I bought my new MacBook Pro. It is a Belkin 802.11n for those that don't know what that mean's. Just think really fast especially with the new Mac's, or so I thought. As soon as I brought home my Mac I started having trouble. I wouldn't work on a secure network at all, and it only works occasionally on a unsecured network. One would think if you have a $2,500 notebook and $100 router everything would work right? NO! So, my next step was to do a little research on this router. Apparently the Belkin Router that I purchase is notorious for not working with Apple products. errrrrrr..... I have been battling with a half functioning router now for two months and I'm just about ready to through it out the appartment window, but for now I'll take a couple of steps back and continue staying PLUGGED IN to my router.

Who has two thumbs? buys a wireless router? and plugs in with an ethernet cable? This Guy.

I think I will be purchasing an Apple AirPort Extreme in the very near future. Or maybe the new Time Capsule OOooOooooOo
