After mowing the lawn and installing the car and home adapters for the XM radio, I decided to tackle the computer transfer project. I won’t get a better weekend than this for at least a month. UPS delivered the computer late yesterday afternoon. I unboxed it and validated Windows XP … Continue reading →
I haven’t said much about the current WIP revision progress lately. I typed in revisions for the first 13.7k (cut nearly 2k off the 15+k I started with). I think I may have mentioned that already. I read through the next 20k, made margin comments, and will probably type them … Continue reading →

But just in case, I thought I’d mention I’ll be out of town for the weekend. I’m driving to Birmingham bright and early in the morning to catch a Southwest flight to San Antonio. After 39 years, hubby has decided to retire from teaching college level English. This is good. … Continue reading →
So, you’re starting a gym routine or trying to spice up your old one? Since my knee surgery, I can’t run anymore. I used to participate in marathons just for fun, so this is a bummer. (Note I said “participate”. My best ever marathon time is around five hours and … Continue reading →
