DVD X Copy Express
This DVD copying software seems like something I would like to support, but the truth is that I just buy the DVD if I want it.

Weekend Plans and Movie Thoughts
Well, there isn't much going on. My mom recently informed me that she has made reservations at a hotel on New Year's Eve in Times Square. It's something that I've always wanted to do, even though I've heard only horror stories from those who have done it. Hopefully it's not too cold this year.
Speaking of Mom, Abby's going to visit BB tonight for a sleep-over, while her mom and dad go out to see the Matrix: Rehashed. (Or whatever.) As usual, there aren't any solid plans. This is probably because it's difficult to plan when we will be finished dropping Abby of and where/when dinner will happen. I'm not convinced we need to go any farther than our back yard.
Mother's Day Movies
Abby doodles on Mother’s Day cards and talks about Pooh.
New Summer Layout
I have been thinking to change things to make them a bit warmer on the site, but 
have been putting it off because I didn’t want to lose that great picture of Abby on the home page. Of course, I still have the picture, so it was just a matter of moving some elements around so that the layout suited me. And choosing colors. And re-setting-up PageCat to work on the home page. I’m making this sound more difficult than it actually was. Enjoy the new layout.
Tripping Over Tipping
What you are about to read derives from, among other things, this lively and fiery discussion on tipping.
This is a topic that always stirs up a wealth of comments, usually with pugilists coming out of only two corners. I think there are many more facts to weigh before making a general statement, but generally, I think tipping is getting quite out of hand.
