Oh, Good to be Home

The trip was great. I got back late Wednesday night and boy was I tired. Car rides aren't very fun for me. I tend to get butt cramps, but that's another story. Washington was fun, as always. I've seen just about all the sights before (including the Holocaust museum where I swear I talked to the man who was killed not to long ago), but I stayed with my aunt and my 2 year-old cousin Kyle. He's a funny kid who has a liking for green beans and Nirvana and bears a striking resemblance to Joe Pesci. I saw the little guy once not long after he was born and he's grown quite a bit. Washington itself was a blast. It rained a little, but I can't complain. I had a conversation with a homeless Vietnam War vet underneath a bus waiting booth during a rainstorm. Good to know we're treating our vets well, especially in our nation's capital. Through it all, there's no denying the best of going on vacation is that first step you take into your house when you get back home - at least for me. I'm more of a homeboy who's probably going to live the rest of his life in some little town in Pennsylvania.

I was sure to overwork myself the first day I was home. I've begun construction of a video game discussion forum. It's something I've thought about doing for a long time and finally took those first steps to doing it. It's not quite finished yet, but I'll announce when it's ready to be open to the public.

After using my uncle's laptop for a bit, I made the choice to download Firefox 3.5 on my own computer. Great choice. Pages load noticeably faster than on Internet Explorer, it's easier to navigate, and spell check is a lifesaver. I'd recommend it. If you have a slower connection or a generally crappier computer, use Firefox 3.1
