the weekend in a nutshell
Worked more than I had planned to on $day$job stuff, so I didn't get as much done on other stuff as desired. Did make it out to see the Green Hornet movie today, it was better than I had hoped for, the car chase at the end was worth while ( Read more... ) -
Sunday morning
Bridget's sleeping in, the kids have had an hour and a half of storytime. The important thing is breakfast, and today was fresh bagels for them and toast for me. Normal you say, yes, I agree, but today I found the last jar of lingonberry preserves - yummy. The kids had to do with strawberry -
Arisia and the Lazy Booklet mob
Since a bunch of folks have asked, none of us are going to be at Arisia this year. Very simple reason having nothing to do with the con and everything to do with a Bar Mitzvah in New Jersey.
Later y'all -
clothes shopping

Da Focus
When I pulled it into the carport last night, the Focus had 99,998 on the odometer, so it'll hit the magic 100K mark about two minutes after I pull out today.
It went into service in March of 2004 with a 100K 6 year warranty, we now know which way that bet went.
Looking foward to its next 100K -
dinner
Amazing, Aileen actually prefers Daddy's Mac & Cheese from scratch to Annie's Purple box.
This time I didn't use any sharp cheeses, just mild cheddar for body, cream cheese for smoothness, and a healthy shot of chili powder and dried mustard to give it some kick. Base was a blond roux.
Yummy -
windows
Sigh. I boot the XP box about every two months, to do something (like Visio) that requires M$ Windows ( don't say it, Visio 2007 doesn't run well under CrossOver Office or Wine)
Why is it that I have to budget in three hours of updates before I can do any useful work?
