For some reason I couldn't get the download from the MSDN subscriber site to work, and the DVD won't ship until June sometime. (I am sure the download problem is on my PC, not a general one. There is something screwed up in my MSI configuration that causes problems with many downloaded installs. It's a rainy day project to figure that one out).

The thunderstorms hit earlier than expected and I only refereed one game. And no mowing, obviously. More rain overnight. I hope it gets dry enough to at least mow the front lawn today. My house is on a 9 house cul de sac and there is a certain amount of peer pressure to keep it neat. (NOT as neat as the guy at the end, who should really be working on a golf course).
