Decisions, decisions, decisions!

I have been talking about how bad our cell service is at our house for years! Of course, no one in the neighborhood can complain too much since we were one of the first groups to vote down a tower! Who knew that cell phones would be the wave of the future and we had shot ourselves in the foot! Today I went to Costco to find out what kind of special deals they could provide for one of their most loyal members. Well, it seems that you can get a free car charger and headset from them...not bad. Now the big issue, which provider to use. More and more people I know are using Verizon, they seem to be very satisfied, unless you count the ones that say it used to be good but the service is not good anymore...they need more towers, especially in north Stamford! (Yes, that's where we live!) We currently have ATT and that is better than Cingular was, but we don't have to worry about Cingular anymore, ATT gobbled them up! I decided I would try Verizon, I have 30 days to change my mind with no obligation. But what if an upgraded phone on ATT gets better service...and ATT has a pink phone, however, the Verizon phone has a larger key pad! What to do! The only decision I could come up with was to try both and see which works best most of the time! So, that's what I have done; can't tell which is better yet, will make a decision by Sunday!

And the Winner is...

Noah Stewart! Today we went to Little Italy in Manhattan to witness the Mario Lanza vocal competition. It was wonderful. There were 8 tenors competing and some of them were so very talented! The music was great, the day was beautiful and a good time was had by all! We were standing in the front with our friends so there was lots of opportunity to make eye contact with the performers! The host was someone named Dominick who also did some performing...Very fun! We had lunch before hand at one of the many yummy restaurants and after the competition who could walk away without a gelato! The flavors were outstanding, so very creamy and delicious!
