Day 113

When I was eating breakfast this morning I saw the dogs from 101 Dalmatians The Musical again on some of the morning shows. I guess the show has finally arrived in New York City for its Broadway run. I hope it does well. When the show was in Dallas back in December, we got to meet the cast and even got to take Dot and Dash to meet some of the Dalmatians featured in the show. As you can see, Dash was kind of fond of Jada, one of the stars. This musical has never really gotten good reviews. I know it's not another Phantom of the Opera or Jersey Boys, but I wish the theater critics had been a bit kinder. I thought it was an uplifting, inspirational show that the whole family could enjoy. What's so bad about that?

I finally made an appointment with Betty and got a haircut today. Yeah, I know I said that I was going to do this over a month ago, but other things kept getting in the way. At any rate, while I was at Northpark, I stopped by the Apple store to take a look at the new iPad. Wow! I'm impressed anyway. I think when the G3 model becomes available at the end of the month I'm going to get one of these things. I've had a laptop for ages, but all I ever use it for is to check e-mail, write stuff with a word processor and look up information on Google. The iPad can do all these things in such a classy, elegant way that's it's hard to resist. Who cares if it doesn't have a built-in camera and can't function as a phone. The thing looks cool and has no moving parts. It's a great way for a photographer to show a portfolio too. Images on the screen just look beautiful. A lot of people are saying that the iPad isn't really useful, but neither am I, so I guess we were made for each other.

The dogs were terrible at obedience class tonight. They'd missed two weeks in a row and both of them seemed to have forgotten everything they'd ever learned. Maybe they were just cold though. I certainly was. After having temperatures in the 80's yesterday, it caught me by surprise that it was so cold out this evening. It's supposed to get down to the low 40's later tonight. Weird weather! The air conditioner repairman is coming out tomorrow and I'll probably have to turn the furnace on tonight. That's Texas for you though. Never a dull moment.
