I have returned to the airwaves, so to speak. I wound up buying a new Droid phone for $50, and have been enjoying it and its functionality quite a bit now.

Then, I actually got a call from NJ Transit’s Lost & Found — my phone had been turned in and was ready for pick-up. Nice! Sure, I already had a new phone, but now I have a nice back-up, and even better, I can get the info off of that phone in terms of contacts, notes, etc.

Although I will admit, I think that a lot of my former contacts on the Blackberry are not going to be transferred over, as a number of then are numbers I haven’t called (or heard from) in a long time. So, a good time to cull the dead weight, really.

The Browns played a pretty close game against the Jets, and while you can say that the Browns had their chances to win, I think it’s important to note that the Jets also had their chances to end the game early — two missed field goals from 25 yards or less is pretty sad.

But who cares? That 2-minute drive by Colt McCoy to force overtime was a thing of beauty. The Browns are actually fun to watch again! Ye gads!

Yesterday morning I went to opening the main living room blinds to see the weather outside, and the blinds tore off the window sill and crashed down to the floor. It was brilliant comic theater.

I managed to get it fixed last night (after I picked up my lost phone, no less), but given that the plaster is apparently not the strongest thing, I think I’ll be using the blinds rather sparingly from here on out.

Well, that sucks. I lost my cell phone on the train last night. Recovery efforts are underway, but most likely I will have to get a new phone to replace it. So, for any of you who might have called in the past 24 hours, it might be a bit before I get back to you.
