Due to holiday, docs can't do anything until Tuesday. Otherwise, transfusions have made a good difference: she's much more herself, and your letters and Eushu's antics keep us in a good mood.

Jane got transfusions yesterday: just as a point of information, it takes 2 hours to put in one unit of blood: we left at 10 am and didn't get back until 11 pm. She's feeling much better today but I'm going to defer the actual reports over to her site, it being her...

The bridge pieces are going to have to be stowed. Jane's not well at the moment, and we're going to have to see to that first.

This morning we painted one side and edges of the 2/ 2"x12"/ 12' arches, cut and painted the 5/ 2x4 /29 inch interior braces, and have found room enough to paint 3 of the decking boards that will be sawed up into deck for the bridge. This afternoon we'll flip the...

This is the home of my earliest memories. I was between 3 and 5, and there are so many. Walking in an autumn woods near our house on Pearl Street, and my mother overcome with anxiety, running toward me through the woods...I'd been lost---well, I knew where I was---and...

We got a sub to Carbonite. We are in the several-day process of getting the initial comprehensive back up, and then it will simply update along the way. These computers are getting so big and storing so much it's becoming way too problematic to do a disk-based backup....

We've been trying to figure why the koi have been huddled on the bottom: we feared a crisis of water chemistry, and a dozen different things---but an adult male Bald Eagle plunging out of the sky? We put up the winter shelter ring, a 6 foot circle of floating black...

Yawn. I've been through some SERIOUS ones, like the Cuban Missile Crisis, the nuclear test ban fracas, and the design some idiot was peddling to the superpowers, a c-bomb. You can't scare me with a mere prediction of doom at 6pm...whose time zone, I wonder? Local to...

...full of it. I had to pluck him out of the airconditioning vent: the one in my room lacks a cover. Well, that's going to have to change. You can read Jane's full account of his checkup on her page.
