Beautiful to watch. Nasty to drive in. Wet snow and 100 wrecks and rollovers in the area. WE live on a short street between two arterials, so WE get plowed every few hours. We have no problems. Jane’s working away. I think I’ve finally made the...

It’s working. Those pounds we put on during the binge of pie, cookies, potatoes, chips, pasta, and other sins we committed between Jane’s birthday in October and sanity returning after New Year’s…? I’ve lost ’em all but 2....

We think we know why there might have been an avatar problem and this may fix it. We will, we think, implement this evening for Wave. This could cause us to turn funny colors and maybe make me have to restore certain changes to the defaults that give this site its...

I’ve reported the situation to DAW—a note from an alert reader—and they’ll handle it. I’m not sure how many books are mis-described. If you spot that, comment here and we’ll all know. Meanwhile it’s snow turned to rain here....

We’ve moved ‘breakfast’ to 8 am to slow down kitteh terrorism in my room—since I have been feeding them: stressor 1. We’ve done some last moment cleanup, moving things kittehs use. Stressor 2. We’ve had our hyper moments, explaining...

This pair of glasses is not as sharp as it used to be (worn with my contacts) and without, the nearer things are blurry, while far things are sharp. I just got the prescription adjusted in late summer, but this is going to give me a headache. I haven’t got the...

…since we have eaten anything we pleased while the whole house was torn up; we had yams with butter, pasta, pizza, Mexican, all-you-can-eat Chinese, we had desserts, cookies, candy, even the dreaded Swinging Door carrot cake [enough for an army] and you name it....

It’s glorious. Jane’s going to take a break, then put up pix of before, during, and after. You’ll be favorably impressed, I hope. We have only a couple of things yet to do, one of which is install the new tub handles when they arrive; and the other...

Now has a toothache. She was on the small stepladder in the bathtub when she caught her heel—we are both getting way too tired… On the good news front, the mural is now grouted and curing, and Jane has put up towel racks. We are just about to the final...
