• Photos on my iPhone

  I found these photos on my iPhone which were taken from the car while we were traveling to — or possibly even in — Colorado. It might be Nebraska.

  Anyhow, they are just distractions from my day, which included having to say goodbye to my husband’s dog, Phoebe. I’ve been avoiding the conversation here on my blog for two weeks now. That’s when I found out about the large tumor that was located in her right lung. On Saturday she stopped eating. And this morning, rather than walking up and down the sidewalk, she only wanted to take a walk around the planter in my front yard.

  It was her time. And it sucks. She was a great dog.

• Why I Need Satellite Radio

  Date: 2009.11.29 | Category: vacation | Response: 3

  I never thought satellite radio was worth it. Until I spent two days driving to Denver with crap radio, one day in Denver with crap radio, 13 blissful hours in a Ford Flex with Sirius XM Radio, and then two more days driving back to Milwaukee with crap radio. And since WKTI ended, and Laser ended, and WLUM ended, there is NOTHING but crap radio in Milwaukee so those 13 hours of satellite radio really spoiled me. Now I need it. It’s my new quest. I won’t rest until the Sirius XM Radio is mine!

  We usually listen to audiobooks in the car during these long rides but no one is interested this time around. Zoe is watching movies on the DVD player, but the noise level in the car is such that we all can’t listen with her.

  I’d be fine with some podcasts from my iPhone, however my husband just doesn’t care for them all that much.

  So there you have it. Satellite radio. A necessity. Sign me up. We even had it on the top of Piles Peak! And there aren’t any commercials. And it tells what song is on, or if its a sporting event it gives the score. Are you impressed yet?

  The 80’s music was pretty good too.

  

  If I have to listen to one more millisecond of country music I’m going to lose it. I’ve heard The Cars, Huey Lewis, and Life Is A Highway more times than I can count.

  I’m sure that never happens on XM.
