Hey, people!  Heard about this?  Apparently not enough did, because last weekend was fun, but there weren't nearly enough people for Rufus to annoy entertain.  And you don't want a bored mudbeggar - they start doing things that everyone will regret (especially me) (extra-especially The Bonnie Weaver).  So, please, come visit this weekend.

Well, she decided to submit the scarf and her shadow weave scarf to the annual NEWS (New England Weavers Seminar) conference. She isn't expecting an award (although that would be nice) - she's just looking for feedback. To submit an entry, ( Read more... )

First: "Sunblock is for wimps!" (and smart people).

Hey, I'm a male so I don't get mushy.  However, I've also been married xx years and watched so many chick flicks with my bride that I've been ruined for life.

So, I'm working from home this morning, pretty much like everyone else in the systems programming group.  This afternoon I'll try to catch a few hours' sleep, unless more issues show up at work.  At 11PM, I'll drive to Wellesley, to be at my desk and all prepped before midnight.  Then the fun begins.  The production system will officially be down ( Read more... )

Note to self: Don't start to write an entry in the morning and then hit the Post button at 6PM...

I've had a fun 7 days...
