Sheri got home from walking the dogs whooped from two hours in the excessive heat. We packed up and headed to Best Buy. We wanted to get a pocket size memory card reader so we can upload pictures to the laptop and then the internet when we are away from home. We also wanted to get a headphone outlet splitter so we can both listen to music, movies, whatever form the laptop when we are out together. Best Buy didn't have either so we drove across the street to Radio Shack. They didn't have the card reader but they did have the splitter cable so we got that.

The plan was to go downtown to our coffee house, go over the COBRA paper work, read the paper, and surf the web. As we were walking out of Radio Shack we remembered the Panera Bread that is right next door. The walk from the car would be much much shorter than at the coffee house. Panera has free drink refills. Their seats are a little more comfortable. Panera has food that sounded good to Sheri whereas the coffee house doesn't really have too much food besides cookies and such. And we were right there so we are in Panera right now.

I got a large iced tea and Sheri got the Fuji Apple Chicken Salad. (I had a pita with hummus, and a hot dog at home, so I wasn't really hungry.)

I already read through all of the COBRA paperwork. The bottom line is that we have to pay $615.06 an month to continue the same medical coverage we had before, and $17.23 per month for the same dental coverage we had before. I forgot to look at one of her paystubs to see how much we were paying per month before.

Right now we are both plugged into the laptop listening to XM Radio on-line. (When you have an XM Radio, like we do, you can also listen to it free from the web. A nice extra.) Sheri is picking on her salad, reading a catalog, and doing the crosswords. I finished up reviewing the COBRA paperwork and am now just typing and surfing. I wanted to upload and post a picture of us hanging out, but that was dependant on us finding a memory card reader before we got here.

After we finish up hanging out here we are talking about dropping the PC off at home and then walking through the mall for a while to keep cool and look at all trixies wearing their skimpy hot weather uniforms.

Brad out.
