So I’ve been a slacker and put off going to the eye doctor for too many years. An unexpected benefit is that technology, specifically the technology of making eyeglasses, has improved dramatically enough to shock even me. The new glasses are extraordinarily light weight, 0.3 ounces. The frames are hingeless memory metal. The lenses some […]
Erci wanted a lap cat very much, and a cat that would bond with her the way Bailey has bonded with me. She found out that the local rescue team (Fancy Cat Rescue Team) was having an event at PetSmart and showing lots of kitties, so we went and checked it out. We brought home […]
Erci and I have some pretty amazing good fortune/karma lately. We came home from work to find all the lights on (a feature of our lights is that events can trip an ALL-ON signal to all the X-10 controllers in the house and turn on all the lights). Typically this is from the alarm being […]
I love having a house full of people. We have the La Belle Winter Gathering going on right now, and that means 12 overnight guests (including Erci and me), 3 guest dogs, and 8-10 additional daytime visitors each day. We’ve been singing, learning about the medieval church, discussing the chest building project, and catching up. […]
We lost power at the house at 12:55 this morning. It came back on just as I was calling to notify NOVEC at about 4:15, but went off again at 4:20. It came back on again at 4:36 and the house is starting to warm back up now. Brrr….. Bring warm pajamas if you are […]

I am very annoyed that for some weeks now, every time I sign into Yahoo’s instant messenger service I get two spam messages from random Yahoo accounts that change every time. I only get the unsolicited offers for illegal goods or services when I first sign into the service for a session (never in the […]
Well, after talking it over and examining our options, Erci and I stopped by Marine Scene and bought a 120 gallon All-Glass (brand) aquarium, cherry stand, Tek T-5 lights, versa-top, sump, pumps, and plumbing to make it all work. The new big system will go into the dining room and it will house the fish […]
With all the holiday party action, new jobs, and planning/prepping for Yuletide Ball Championships; I am afraid I have been lax in updating. Here is a batch mode update… This morning I had an unexpected adventure, just as I was finishing breakfast and feeding the fish, I discovered that my 30 gallon marine aquarium was […]
So I’ve spent two days at my new job and I am happy. There is a lot to do, and some of it is very strange, but it is all interesting and there is a lot of freedom to tackle each problem as we techies see fit. The team is excellent, and the environment very […]
