well, after dealing with too many issues with our rhapsody subscription, we're trying a new music service, urge. so far it seems to be faster and more user-friendly. but we'll see how well it works with my sansa. i was having too many issues with the new version of rhapsody and my sansa (like having to re-sync the music after 3 days, when it should be 30; and not being able to download my entire playlist, only parts of it).

our neighbor's very friendly cat, hanging out with us on the front porch. see the trees blooming??? spring has sprung!!
