This won’t make sense unless you’ve seen the latest Star Trek movie. If you have, it’s pretty funny.

Sprint generally gets a bad rap for its customer service. I’ve been a customer of varying degrees over the last 10 years or so and I have had my share of unpleasant support calls with Sprint. Lately, though, I’ve found that they are getting better and tonight’s post is more evidence of that.

Palm dropped the price of it’s new phone, the Palm Pre, by $50 today. I am a recent owner of this phone and read a post on the PreCentral blog explaining that Sprint was offering the price to people who bought the phone in the last 30 days. So I got on the horn and to my mild surprise the support person had no trouble understanding what I was asking and credited my account include three dollars and change for tax! Now I’m rocking a Pre for $150, not bad, not bad at all.

Jammin’ for Hope – benefit concert on Fri. Nov. 21st

“Jammin’ for Hope” on Fri. Nov.21!

“Shaky Ground” will be opening the night with some rock and blues. They are looking forward to performing and raising money for a good cause. Proceeds will go to the Croteau Family of Haverhill. Jim Croteau is 49 yrs old with a wife (Linda) and 2 daughters ages 9 (Jeanine) and 12 (Mariah). He was diagnosed with stage 4 lung cancer 5 years ago and it went into remission for 3 years. His cancer came back last year and he will now need to stay on chemotherapy for the rest of his life. He works at Malden Mills in Lawrence. He grew up in Methuen , MA and has lived in Haverhill for the last 10 years. He is a friend of Pine Island Music, the organization sponsoring the event.

Dancing, cash bar and great music!

Post-election thought for the day: “We must love them both. Those whose opinions we share and those whose opinions we reject, for both have labored in the search for truth and both have helped us in the finding of it.”

Well, it looks like a draw.  I must say, I’m a bit disappointed.  I was so hoping for a Palin paralysis.  She prepped well.  And so folksy…gosh, she stands on the soccer sidelines just like I do.  Maybe I’ll vote for her.  Wait, she wants to abolish Roe v. Wade.  She wants to drill like there’s no tomorrow.  She really seems to believe we can win a war.  That’s right, I remember.  I have almost nothing in common with this woman…other than reproductive organs.  She is a conservative, evangelical Christian hawk…wearing a snazzy pair of glasses that I like.  I might get me a pair of those.  Joe did well.  I was worried he’d blunder.  He didn’t.  I have to say, his smile is off-putting though. All those white teeth just don’t look natural.  Well, short on substance, but that’s my 2 cents for tonight.  ‘Night all.
