::waves:: Hello! I hope you all had lovely holidays. Mine were great fun, but exhausting. Which doesn't seem fair to say, since I did very little of the work, but what's so is so. I meant to post this yesterday, but I had internet connectivity problems followed by brain connectivity problems, so y'all pardon me for celebrating Epiphany a day late ( Read more... )

I know this is when I should be posting year-end and New Year's stuff, but let me get this out of the way, yeah? I've been mulling over what to say. It was a Christmas unlike any I've known before. ( Read more... )

I now have a present, or at least a present idea, for everybody on my gift list. Also, IBW called to say that she and xBIL had found and bought my gift for Toolboy and Pi Girl.

Okay, I confess. The computer's been more or less fixed for a few weeks now. I've been lurking, just dropping a few comments here and there. I suppose it's been a combination of my usual post-holiday hibernation and the conviction that if I didn't get the computer set up exactly the way I wanted it before I started posting, I'd never get it just ( Read more... )

First things first: I'm fine.

Now, the rest of the story: I've been living in a Federal disaster area since last week. ( Read more... )
