Stormy Weather & Routers
This has been the longest, hottest summer. This week has had the craziest weather. Monday, we had 106 degrees according to my car’s display. That afternoon we had a roof-shaking thunderstorm. One of the booms made the power click off then on again. Unfortunately, that momentary power glitch fried my router. Battery Backup I’m a [...]
By the Time You Read This. . .
By the time you read this email, I’ll be gone. Gosh, doesn’t that sound like a cliche Dear John letter? Actually, I will be gone, but it’s only to school.

Head For The Hills
I couldn’t take all that rain down on the Gulf Coast any longer. I packed up my daughter, a huge work bag, the laptop, and we took off for the Texas Hill Country. What a relief to get out of all that rain. We haven’t been up to our house here since July 4, and [...]

I have Google Alerts set up so I can find out when my name is being bandied about. This week, I started receiving dozens of alerts that Joan Reeves was commenting on The Huffington Post site, Digg, sports sites, and several others. We all like to think we are unique and that there’s no one [...]
Random Friday: Let’s Laugh
