This is a test post to see how Windows Live Writer works. Windows Live Writer is an “off line” blog posting tool. Naturally, it is designed to work with Windows Live blogs, but it also supports WordPress and others.

Raccoon moving in?
Earlier today, my wife and her parents noticed a raccoon walking through our back yard. Later, the ‘coon came back, this time poking around under our deck. This time, I got a look at her (I’ll explain the gender assumption in a moment): she is huge, easily twice the size of our largest cat. I’d speculate that she’s 30 pounds, give or take. And she seemed to have absolutely no fear: I stepped out into the back yard, and she turned around as she walked towards our gate and looked at me before walking off. Our cat Rommel was out in the cat run, and fluffed up/hissed at the raccoon at this point, who completely ignored him.
Happy Easter!
“Happy Easter” seems like a strange thing to say given the religious meaning of the holiday, but I’m not religious in any way so I’ll say it and not feel guilty.

XBox 360, XBox Live, Gamer tags, and the future…
I’ve been playing with my XBox 360 quite a bit lately. One of the features I enjoy is it’s online match up, content, and “game tracking” service, XBox Live.
I originally signed up with XBox Live when I bought my original XBox (I.E.: before I bought the 360). It was really a poor investment- I played the old-style XBox for about three weeks, and bought (and renewed!) a full year subscription to XBox Live. That’s two years of XBox Live, and I’m really only starting to use it now. You might be asking…what is XBox Live? And why would I care unless I have an Xbox?

Casinos and Battlefield 2
Today was a good day. Irene and I met my Mom and sister Judy at the Casino for a bit- that’s always fun. We don’t really gamble much- it’s basically more of a chance to sit down and have a coffee with just the four of us. I put $5 in a slot machine, and came home empty handed: perfectly normal 🙂
