My team and I curled very well tonight, which combined with the fact that the other team Just Couldn't Get It Together for a while meant we were up 12-0 after four ends. Then they took four, we took one, and they took three, and we were out of time for the eighth - so that's 13-7, which is (trust me) an ungodly score for a curling match. (And ( Read more... )

So having left my parents' house at 11:30, as I said, I got only about an hour from home before the trouble started in the form of a three-mile backup for the stupid Ohio Turnpike toll lanes. No EZPass for us, nosiree, and the fact that Pennsylvania and Indiana, i.e. the states whose highways the OH Tpk connects to on either side, are on EZPass ( Read more... )

Or, is there another LJ client I can use? I don't think I care to depend on the web interface, after depending on the client for so long.

I return triumphant from various retail establishments, including the Apple Store, with a shiny! new! MacBook!, named -- almost inevitably, I feel -- Mr. Smith.

Everybody say hi.

Turkey etc. consumed.  Nap taken.  Mom taught to knit.  (Casting on and knit stitch.  She has so far done six rows, of which only one was completed without acquiring another stitch somewhere.  It's so cute.)  Appointment made at Mac store for tomorrow, because computer freakouts coming across the plate pretty quickly now -- if I turn off the ( Read more... )
