I got a nice vintage wood-cabinet Panasonic AM\/FM radio (see above for a picture), circa late 1960s-early 1970s, for $3.00 and it still works well.  The audio on this thing was what really surprised me the most though.  It sounds great, especially for a one-speaker radio.  It also has an external speaker output (a mod) that I can use to connect it with my old <a href=\"http:\/\/www.cambridgesoundworks.com\/\">Cambridge Soundworks<\/a> speakers.  This will serve nicely as our kitchen radio for the new house. <\/li>\n<p><\/p>\n<li>For any NBA fan, this past weekend&#8217;s games were like a dream come true.  First off was the Celtics amazing come-from-the-dead <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nba.com\/games\/20020525\/NJNBOS\/recap.html\">win over the Nets<\/a>, 94-90.  Then the next day was the Lakers <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nba.com\/games\/20020526\/SACLAL\/recap.html\">last-second win<\/a> (courtesy of Robert Horry aka Will Smith) over the Kings, 100-99.<\/li>\n<p><\/p>\n<li>Aileen and I took the adulthood responsibility plunge and got life insurance policies from the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.kofc.org\">Knight of Columbus<\/a>.  Life insurance is such a morbid business&#8230; it&#8217;s basically the insurance company betting that you won&#8217;t hit the farm until they make some money off of you.  And you also only get to use it when you die.  Maybe I should just use the $100 a month and put it on the lotto&#8230;. at least if I win, I get to use it on myself. <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"..\/images\/emoticons\/chat_face_wink.gif\"><\/li>\n<p><\/p>\n<li>Aileen cooked a s**tload of delicious <a href=\"http:\/\/www.kusinaatbp.com\/recipes\/pancit_bihon.htm\">pancit bihon<\/a> yesterday for her co-workers at the hospital, but I only got to eat a small plate of it.
