Let's see: a fire and intrusion alarm system, for one thing -- with a collection of paintings (including a 350-year-old Japanese ema) very conservatively valued at US$ 107,000; a photo collection valued at around US $15,000; about 80 or so computers and about 10 servers, not to mention a book collection with an estimated value of around US $10,000,000 I finally convinced the city that spending US$ 10K to protect it might just possibly be a Good Investment.

I'll order some scrim tomorrow, but the stage lights came yesterday. And I told one of the staff she could spend a hundred bucks to fix the top of the fish tank, more if she needed but she'd have to ask me.

US$2,500 to make a closet under the back stairs and to put a window in the back (employees') door.

Just, you know, generally wasting the taxpayers' money.

Weather is great, boy do I wish I would get actually hired at the job I've been temping in for months and months and months, the twins have turned 12(!!) and my leg is almost healed. Things are good or better, on average (oh, yeah, did I mention that I got to do some analyses, my favorite thing?). Nice to read everybody's news. Thanks for asking!

Hi, Kim-
Things are just ducky here in the California foothills. I went on a gold mine hike with Debby McClatchy today and got caught in a downpour, but we had a good time. Found petrified wood and square nails, but no gold (and, most importantly, no rattlesnakes).
My wife went to see a guru in San Francisco and missed the gold mine.

sore back, but that's normal, & I'm off to the (heated) pool soonish to do my normal walking-around-in-the-moving-water-to-help-strengthen-my-back thing.

It's cold & raining here (good thing in a water-restricted city, as long as it doesn't just wet the pavements), and I'm also packing for a festival this weekend.

Dunno why I want to spend a few nights on a very comfortable inflated mattress, with my snuggly 80% down quilt, in a tent in a town that the forecast sez. will be rainy & windy & cold. All I can say is the music & companionship better be good!

Call the Royal Oak in Orillia. They're a Chinese Restaurant. I think, having eaten there once or twice in the past, that they might be interested.

Sorry, Peace...just lambs quarter gone rampant in the cordwood.

I save a pigeon today. What have YOU done? It either forgot it could fly or was having a great time rolling in the grass with Boudicca cat.

Had a folk festival last weekend, but saw little of it 'cause Rita & I were in the crafts. But we made some money, and we avoided the worst of the rain when packing up.....so we're doin' ok.

......but now I can see all the stuff I avoided while preparing for the festival. By my calculations, it now takes 14 months to recover from an annual event.

I've been doing whatever I can to make it rain. So far, I've tried washing the cars, leaving car windows open, leaving dry laundry on the line, and walking to the other end of the property without an umbrella. Under ordinary circumstances, any one of the above would guarantee a rainstorm within minutes, but not this year.

Some days that's the best I can hope for! :-D

We're just still doing our regular stuff... working, knitting, fiddling, etc.

Mister's gotten to be quite the brewer lately. And, he's bought himself a German lute-guitar. And an oud, but neither one of us knows how to play it yet.
