3/31 Update: World Events Since I Canceled FIOS

Sorry about the recent lull - nothing new to report on my issue. Still waiting on that pesky bill and perhaps a better understanding of what caused this mess. In the meantime, I was noodling something today that you might find amusing:

World events that have occurred since I canceled my FIOS service (effective February 11th)…

1) NASA conducted nearly TWO full space shuttle missions (the first began on 2/7 to be exact), including the longest mission EVER to the International Space Station (ISS). The record-breaking mission covered 6.6 million miles, and included a remarkable 5 spacewalks.

2) Bon Jovi performed 20 shows on his current Lost Highway tour, including tonight’s show in Denver.

3) Bear Stearns stock dropped from around $80 to about $2 a share, before rebounding to the “hefty” price of around $10.

4) The Houston Rockets racked up 18 of their 22 consecutive victories – the second longest streak in NBA history. Ironically, the streak began on the date of my missed phone installation (1/27).

5) American Idol progressed from “Hollywood Week” on February 12^th to the “Top 9” this week.

6) The earth experienced the vernal equinox, a total eclipse of the moon, and the official switch to Spring (or Fall for those readers in Australia).

7) Former NY Governor Eliot Spitzer allegedly met with “Client-9” in Washington DC, the incident became public, Spitzer resigned, and David Patterson was sworn in.

I am sure there are plenty that I missed. Perhaps you have some other suggestions…
