Unfortunately for me but fortunately for Kristin, our cable service does not have Fox Sports. We have Comcrap Sports even though we don't have Comcrap as our service provider. Due to this, I was unable to watch the Duke game Sunday evening and was forced to push the refresh button over and over on the computer. And as you probably now, I was unable to watch one of the most exciting finishes in recent memory. I'm glad they won but it's obvious they need me watching for them to perform at high levels. I'm pretty sure the Penn/Duke game is on the deuce tomorrow night so I can watch.

We traveled to downtown Chicago on Saturday to do a little Christmas shoppings and check out Marshall Field's one more time before it changes names to Macys. It was pretty cold and there was a Bears game so foot traffic wasn't too bad. We had fun at the Kris Krindle mart in Daley Plaza and checking out the decorations. Here is a picture of me in front of the huge Christmas tree.

We had a new furnace installed this afternoon. Now we don't have to wake up to 4o degree temperatures in the house in the morning. That's good.
