Mac OS 10.5 is released. Mixed reviews. Many new features, lots of changed user interface. I currently do not have Leopard as I have an old tower that wouldn’t really run it well, a bunch of 3rd party applications that I require to work effectively, some reservations about some of the changes, and finally, no pressing need to “change”. But enough of that.

At work I will be assisting an internal marketing team and helping MPHI chart out a marketing plan, to diversify our funding/revenue streams so that we will be better protected against the fortunes of this poor state. (Hello Governor and Legislature: Fix. Budget. Now.)

This last Friday I played indoor soccer with the team Winners by Forfeit (made up of some of my co-workers and their friends and spouses). We were handily spanked, 10-0. But we managed to stay upright most of the night and there was no puking. Later as the team discussed how we played, we all agreed we could only get better as the season goes on.

Finally I helped put together a haunted house for our church’s Halloween Carnival. It was a smashing success with many kids going through multiple times and having a blast. Many thanks to Los Eldres.

Oh. And the black locus trees outside the residence have about depleted their leaves which means no more messy carpets strewn full of leaves. The vacuum cleaner sighs in relief.
