Hooray for the internet

The lions are touring NZ...to the uninitiated this might sound like a safari gone wildly wrong (don't we go tour lions?)but to anyone else that cares about Rugby, it's a big deal. To the Kiwi's who lost in the world cup, its a chance to banish that ugly memory...and for me in the US, it's a nightmare trying to find some way of watching the tests.
God bless the internet and video streaming...hopefully if we can get it working tonight I'll be able to see the second match on saturday morning...so don't you all go and tell me what the result is please...
and the other big news is that today we got our house. We were at the real estate office at 8:00am this morning for the closing (as they call it here)with our lawyer, their lawyer, their agents and someone scurrying around providing documents to sign called...the closer...so 2 hours of reading and signing papers and 5 minutes to hand over a large cheque and get a key in return and it's all ours...M is taking some 'before' pictures today and we'll be emailing the new address soon.
Lots of home renovation ahead...why would anyone paint the smallest room in the house maroon!
