Apparently yesterday there was more fun going on in Target than I had suspected. Not only were the ladies doing some “secret shopping” but they were also holding miniture trycle races. Unfortunetly for Courtney, Kristie seems to have been just a little faster on three wheels. I’m sure Courtney would just say she was destracted by all the pictures.

Go Kristie!!!

What I want to know is how they didn’t get kicked out of Target!?!

On Friday morning Tracy and I began our day in the usual way, great reluctance to actually get out of bed. Typically Tracy is the first one up during the week. She gets up, lets out the dogs and makes her first cup of "joe." On Friday though, she slowly retuned to our room with head hung low and tears nearly in her eyes speaking softly, "it's dead." I didn't understand what she was trying to tell me. "I think the coffee maker is broken," she said to me with sullen eyes. I then understood the situation, and if you know Tracy well at all you know how serious a situation this could be for her. Coffee is Tracy's life force in the morning; without it, she moves more slowly.

I immediately went into the kitchen and entered, "Husband Fix-It" mode, where I immediately repeat every step I'm sure my wife has taken, but I'm taking again just to say I did. I'm lifting the levers, pressing buttons, unplugging it and even turning it nearly upside down. Why? Well, because that's what a husband does in a critical situation like the one I found myself. I quickly came to the same conclusion Tracy came to, during the night our coffee maker passed. The heating lamp comes on, but nobody is home. Our fancy-smancy coffee maker, a wedding gift from friends had moved on to a better place; leaving me with a wife that wanted coffee and none was to be had. Click Here to Read More...

On The Apple Blog I read an interesting article comparing the Apple Stores to Starbucks. I think the article does a good job of explaining the reason why I enjoy going to the Apple Store and why I tell people going Mac is more than just about the computer and the operating system; it's about community.
