Finall....

Good news, UPS tried to deliver my repaired xbox today.  Bad news, nobody was home.  They usually deliver around 4 to 6 pm but of course today they came sometime between 10 and 2.  I have watched jealously while everybody in the clan has leveled up, gained gamer score, and generally had a good time with Halo 3, while I got 2 hours on it with a borrowed box the weekend after it came out.  Got to level 5 on the campaign, but no online play.  Finally, the wait is almost over.  I'm on vacation next week and I plan to play every day all day to catch up with everybody (except for GoW night).
On a totally unrelated note, does everybody with kids have to run everywhere all the time?  My son finished his last JV football game last night (in the rain, temps in the 40's, had to stand because I forgot a seat and the bleachers were wet), my daughter finished her last cheering session for the peewee team, and now my son has decided to play with the varsity the rest of the season.  Then comes basketball, then comes tennis (he hates baseball).  I have been to every practice except one, every game except one (working), and quite frankly, I'm ready to stay at home for a while.  The really weird thing is, my son slightly pulled his groin while stretching last night.  Not during the game mind you, during warm-ups, and yet he still wants to stand on the sidelines during the varsity games.  Oh, well, if they win one more game they go to state at Troy University and get to watch the game in the luxury suites.  I bet dear old Dad will be there as well.
