Buffett band bonanza
I was out of town and not able to make this year's "Live by the Lake". Amy Lee and Doyle Grisham (from the Coral Reefer Band) played with Boat Dunks (a local Buffett-tribute band). I can't wait to talk to Chris about this!

New passport rule for Mexico, Caribbean, Canada
April 21, 2006
CHICAGO (Orbitz) -- Americans long have traveled to nearby countries without having to worry about passports. But that's about to change.
Starting December 31, the federal government will require U.S. passports for re-entry into the United States by air and sea from Mexico, Panama, the Caribbean, Bermuda and Canada.
Because of the new rule, the government expects a dramatic increase in passport applications -- from more than 10 million in fiscal year 2005 to around 13 million in 2006.
If you're planning to travel abroad next year and don't have a passport, now's a good time to think about getting one.
"We do encourage people to apply early," says Laura Tischler, spokeswoman for the U.S. Bureau of Consular Affairs.
The passport requirement, which also will affect most Canadian citizens, some citizens of Bermuda and many Mexican citizens, will not take effect at land border crossings until December 31, 2007.
It typically takes about six weeks to get a passport after applying, or two weeks for more expensive, expedited service.

Apple's 60-gig iPod 'at risk'
Company may phase out 60-gig Video iPod, which retails for $399, in favor of a new model, analyst says.
This showed up on CNN today (not for the first time). I have a 60G iPod I bought at Christmas (for the capacity) for all of my music. Wouldn't it be fitting if they discontinue it. I probably wouldn't upgrade since I do limited video on it (except if they would offer a trade-in program!).

FW: Important Numbers?
Just in case you wanted to know:
On Wednesday, at two minutes and three seconds after 1:00 in the morning, the time and date will be 01:02:03 04/05/06.
That won't ever happen again (in our lifetime).
You may now return to your (normal ?) life.

April Fools.....from Think Geek
Check out the items at Think Geek today! I like the RFID Blocking T-shirt and the Wireless Extension Cords! Not sure how long it will be up.
My new life motto....
"Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways - Cabernet in one hand - chocolate in the other - body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming Whoo what a ride".
