Woot! I won my seat for City Council! I will be sworn in on Jan 2, 2008, then the real work / headache will begin.

On another note: We are going to WA next week to spend Thanksgiving week with Keegan and Kat. Really looking forward to a vacation! We'll be there till the 26th.

Hope everyone is doing well out there. Miss our friends lots.

You spend hours chopping, peeling, boiling, washing, sifting, stirring, cooking, polishing silver, washing the dust off of the good china, setting the table, and trying ( Read more... )

Ok, so it wasn't just the flu. Can we say 'pneumonia' ? Left lung. Not bad enough to be hospitalized, but enough to make it hard to breathe.
