Kevin Mason's KEV-MANIA

To most people, their computer is just a piece of electronics.  But for someone like me who spends 18 hours a day on their computer, it’s almost like my computer is a part of me….  Well today I say goodbye to my trusty Sony VAIO laptop.  After 3 years of insane daily use it’s time to retire the VAIO and send it to my used electronics farm where it will spend its’ days and night with all of the rest of my retired equipment.  No longer will I have to endure the jet engine like noise that came from the VAIO’s cooling fan whose bearing went bad long ago.    Farewell old friend….  Thanks for the 300 gig memories….

A quick shot of my GPS last night driving South down I-65 in Kentucky… Like I needed to pay all that money for a GPS to tell me… this?

I just got the news from my brother-in-law, Matt.  It’s the end of an era at Wrigley Field in Chicago.  Or, I should say, the end of an era across the street from Wrigley Field.  If you’ve ever watched a Cubs game in person or on TV, you’ve no doubt seen the big Budweiser Roof in center field.  I’ve never been a big Bud guy, but I’ve always appreciated the roof as just one of the many traditions of Wrigley Field.  Well, InBev the new owner of Budweiser has decided that the owner of that famed roof wants too much for the over sized billboard, so…. when the Cubs opened the 2009 season at Wrigley there was a new inhabitant of the famed Budweiser Roof, the Horseshoe Casino in nearby Hammond, IN.  I was watching the Cubs beat the Cardinals today on WGN, and finally caught a glimpse of the new Horseshoe Roof.  Needless to say, it’s just not the same.  I tried to locate a picture of the new roof, but can’t find one yet.  So instead, I take you back to the good ole days…. just last year.

There really isn’t any need for words… this picture says it all!
