Woke up to discover that my pastor had left a message for me (which I heard later): the church organ isn't working, so I may not have it Sunday morning! Fortunately, it was a false alarm. The organist who was there to play a graduation service hadn't flipped the on switch properly...

changes in tax status
wavyarms' recent post has reminded me of a task I've meant to set for myself. Having recently wedded stealthmuffin, I am suddenly faced with more options than the usual obvious one when filling out forms of the W-4 ilk, and of course we have to decide whether to file jointly or separately for last year.
