Steam games on mac

Hallelujah! Steam has come to the intel mac!

I now have Torchlight, Portal, and --TADA! Half-life 2 on my powerbook laptop!

Booyah! Vacation is going to be even better, whether the beach has oil residue on it or not!

Cars n such

Recall from earlier entries that I got a Jaguar XKE 18 months ago...joined the local Jag owner's club about that same time...last summer's picnic was good, and there was a couple there with an '03 XK8, sea-foam green (my mom's fave color). This car is a nice looker...probably the best-looking Jag after the E. And if you don't need a new one, a used one is a good bit cheaper than an E.

[here's where a secret is revealed] So my wife decides she really likes this one, and wants one of her own, except she wants a convertible. This took a while to manage, basically not until I had a chunk of $ come in as bonus money this year...so here's what we got:

I apologize that the size is wrong. Just click right on it and click "view image" in the popup menu.



it's midnight blue, with a nice light tan interior (ideal for when it's hot out, unlike my E, which has a *black* interior :(:( which I gotta fix one of these days)

So now we are a two-Jag operation...plus two other cars...altho the pickup is going to evolve into being my son's car, since he's 18 now.
