I am Jack's rambling blog

Al noted this morning that he hadn't realized that my blog had been updated recently because there was no mention of it on the home page. So now, in honor of Al, there is a link from the home page and the updates page that should automatically update every time I add a new entry. It's all part of the service that I, the author, try to impart for you, the faithful viewers. (Or something like that...)

The car dealer had the vehicle registration, but there was no one there on a Saturday to look at the CD player. Oh, and since they're a new dealership (i.e., small), their service department is located a bit further away. Like by the San Jose airport. No, buying a car just can't be simple, it seems.

Last night, we watched Fight Club. It's an amazing movie. Meredith hadn't seen it before. I'm not sure she loved it quite as much as I did, but she liked it. Watching centers of commerce collapse to the ground in giant explosions feels a little different now than it did before September 11, but the movie is still great.

All day yesterday, CNN.com was running "Pamela Anderson to marry Kid Rock" as one of their main headlines. Umm ... who cares?

It's been a week of accidents. A week ago, one of Meredith's classmates from Yale accidentally cut his hand while cooking. Turns out he severed some nerves, an artery, and both flexor tendons in a couple of fingers. He'll be OK, despite the whole process being "exquisitely painful". Then yesterday, a friend from church, celebrating his 15th birthday, was biking to church for a Godspell rehearsal when something happened and he veered into a parked car at at full tilt. He's not quite sure what, because he suffered a mild concussion and doesn't remember anything at all about what happened. Someone else found him as he was coming to, lying by the car. He'll be fine, and was well enough to be in church this morning. Hopefully it's not that a driver forced him off the road into the car and then didn't bother to stick around. Scary...
