New phone
I have a new phone. It has the same number as before. It will take countless hours to figure out all the customizing I want to do, but at least it is working fine as a phone now, so feel free to call me again.

Back in the saddle again
After months of neglect, my bike finally took me to work again today. It was great to finally have a beautiful day when I didn't get my usual carpool ride and wasn't in a hurry. It took only a few minutes to get the bike out and pump up the tires and I was off. Well, after going back inside twice, once to get my helmet and again to change into the ( Read more... ) -
Golden Compass
I had been thinking of reading His Dark Materials for a while. With the movie coming out there was more urgency. Finally despairing of getting our trilogy copy back soon, I borrowed it from a neighbor and started reading. Suddenly, only one chapter into the book, a plan developed for an extended set of six of us plus two parents to see the movie. ( Read more... )
