Happy New Year, Verizon Style

Posted on December 31, 2007 by ken

This year, you can send text messages or pictures which will be shown on the Jumbotron in Times Square. The text-o-thon is sponsored by Verizon Wireless. Here’s how to play:

Verizon Wireless is giving you the chance to make your thoughts heard — er, read — on New Year’s Eve via a Jumbotron in New York City’s Times Square.

Send your text message — from any wireless phone — to 81878 or your picture message to NYC@pix.vzw.com anytime between 1 p.m. Monday to 4 a.m. Tuesday and it may go up on Spotlight Live’s 75-foot Jumbotron overlooking Times Square.

Any wireless device can participate. Normal text message and airtime rates apply.

Turkey Day

Posted on January 1, 2007 by ken

SWMBO and I usually smoke a smallish (11-13 pounds) turkey on Thanksgiving. We have a meal or two and save some breast meat for some sandwiches for the next week. On the Monday after Thanksgiving, SWMBO takes all the dark meat off the carcass, slices it up, and takes sandwich fixin’s to treat her co-workers. Last year, we were in Arkansas for Thanksgiving. Her co-workers were really bummed about not having their Monday Morning Turkey, so we promised to do one for New Year’s.

It’s smoking up a storm right now, and best part of all is there are no firefighters in sight.
