Podcast Recommendation: The Instance

The Instance, available at http://www.theinstance.net/, is a really cool podcast. These two guys, Scott and Randy, sit around and jaw about World of Warcraft for an hour, nothing very deep, but generally entertaining bits about the game, from things like patch notes to comics and the like based on the game. It's like hanging out with a couple of friends, and the relaxed atmosphere is really good. Also, there's entertaining little sub-shows that show up during the show, which give you quick tips on modules, pvp, and now macros.

I suggest you give it a look, and not just because I'm entering a contest they're having.

My wonderful wife.

For those of you who have been following my life, you already know that my wife Tammy had stomach bypass surgery this last September. She, as well as myself, have been overweight most of our respective lives, and for her it was really becoming a health problem - she had diabetes, blood pressure problems, she was basically taking a dozen pills every day.

So, after a long time going through the selection process, my wife got accepted to have stomach bypass surgery, and that surgery happened mid-September of this year. Going into the process, my wife weighted 298 pounds.

Her goal weight at the end of this year was to reach 235 pounds, and this morning she weighed in at 234.6.

Ladies and Gentlemen, my wife is awesome and has done an awesome thing. Do me a favor and drop her a line at beadinglady <at> gmail.com, and congratulate her for reaching her goal weight two weeks early!

Thanks.
