Gown removed carelessly. Head, less so.- Joss Whedon
Automobile warranty expires. So does engine.- Stan Lee
Longed for him. Got him. Shit.- Margaret Atwood
We kissed. She melted. Mop please!- James Patrick Kelly
It’s behind you! Hurry before it - Rockne S. O’Bannon
Husband, transgenic mistress; wife: "You cow!" - Paul Di Filippo
Easy. Just touch the match to - Ursula K. Le Guin

March Break - March on

It's March Break. Yahoo...sort of. Kind of dull here.

Still getting over pnemonia - that sucks. Hard to breath sometimes.

Survived my one gig of the week but it set me back, recovery-wise.

Just when we think everything that could go wrong with the house had, the basement flooded. Gotta love that warm spell. Now we're getting a new sump pump, a new tenent (hopefully), and a new line of credit. I hope the furnace will hold off for another year.

Fixed the dryer, though. Nice to do laundry. Hard to go without it for over a month with a brand new one sitting in the house. Ironic and torturous.

Hope to be feeling better for the weekend and back to the day job.

Been fighting with the Isle of Nod this week. Hopefully it will be updated before 2008.

Not a very exciting BLOG. Sorry.

March on, citizens of (and visitors to) Nod, Come on April!

Nod

ps. Sandra is healthy again (sort of) and has a new job. That's the excitement, I guess!
