This week went a little better — stairs are getting easier, and I’m getting back to a more natural gait. I was losing the dog in the backyard, so I came home from work tonight, slipped on the knee brace, and mowed. With the brace, it went smoothly. I’ll need … Continue reading →
I think I’ve made all the adjustments I needed to make to make this template enjoyable for me. Last year, during my “template fair,” this was the template ya’ll liked best. I’ve incorporated all the suggested improvements you offered way back when. Is there anything missing? Let me know, and … Continue reading →
My primary computer at home is fixed, but I gravitated to Panera today with the laptop anyway. I wanted to do some work on Threads and Ties. I’m not writing manuscript, but I am laying out what’s happening and what I want my words to convey when I am able … Continue reading →

Then I proceeded to begin FTPing the new files to the site, but I forgot to deactivate plugins first. I restored the old … Continue reading →

What are the chances we grew enough anti-bodies after the hurricanes of the last couple of years to have achieved some level of immunization against storms this year? Frankly, they are non-existent, but that’s what I thought this morning when I saw the headline “Tropical Storm Chris Falls Apart.” But … Continue reading →
I checked on the power supply yesterday. They expect to get it from the manufacturer today and will turn it around to ship to me as soon as they get it. That means I should be up and running on my primary machine by this weekend — I hope. Fortunately, … Continue reading →
I’m still off-line on my primary computer. The problem with being under warranty is you need to wait for them to send the part. I plan to call Monday to verify they have shipped the new power supply — they should have received my dead one last Monday. Meanwhile, back … Continue reading →
I got home last night and tried to fire up my primary computer, but it was having none of it. I appear to have lost a power supply — it has enough juice to light the power light on my USB Hub, but otherwise, nada. It’s under warranty. My challenge … Continue reading →
