Byrnes back on the bus – a nice article on Eric Byrnes and his Dominican league adventures…
Fan Fest 2005 – Mark your calendars! Saturday, February 12th, 10am to 4pm. I just noticed that they are calling the Coliseum ” McAFEE COLISEUM.” Umm, YE GODS!
Life in General…
Old stuff out, new stuff in.

The old bed is gone, the new bed is here!
Over the weekend our new furniture got delivered. The old bed has been around since I was in high school (ye gods!), so it was definitely time for a new one. The new bed is much taller than the old one. The little dog is having a not so fun time trying to jump onto it. 😛 Oh well!

The new living room furniture…
We also got new living room furniture. I can’t seem to take a good picture of it, but above you can see the colorful cushion. 😉 The couch and loveseat are plum and the tables are a nice golden wood.
New Top Banner…
I needed something new for the weblog since the holidays are now past, so I decided to feature the first fellas of my online life: Kevin Smith and Erik Thomson.
Kevin Tod Smith was “Ares” (and a few other characters) on Hercules, Xena, and Young Hercules and the third actor I met from the shows. (Michael Hurst and Renee O’Connor were the first.) He walks among the angels now, but I still think of him now and again. I owe a lot to him– from my online adventures to friendships nurtured in mutual admiration for him. He was a man with presence, warmth, and sweetness.
Erik Thomson was “Hades” on Herc, Xena, and YH. Australian viewers probably know him best as Dr. Mitch Stevens on the medical drama All Saints. Erik’s family long ago emailed me, then he did as well. He was the first actor to email me because of my website and even though I’ve been neglectful of the site, I still really do adore him and wish him well in his endeavors. Someday I would love to meet him. 🙂
At the moment…
I am home from work because I’ve lost my voice. It began on Thursday. I went into work yesterday, but hardly spoke. I decided to stay in today because then I could rest and not talk. I did go see the doctor and the NP who saw me ruled out anything serious. Of course, if it persists for more than three days, then I need to go back and see the doctor. Right-oh!

My new Blackberry and my new camcorder…
Yes, I got a new Blackberry! I love it. It’s so groovy. 😀 And I am also the proud owner of a new camcorder. Rockin’! 😀 So far I’ve taken shots of the doggies.
I had the weirdest dream! This girl I know confesses that she’s been messing around on her boyfriend. And in real life, it would never happen. But I woke up very disturbed about the dream. It was so real!
I think it was the NyQuil…
