Okay, it’s not quite Friday. Believe me, that is a good thing. Power came back to our neighbourhood late last night and it wasn’t a moment too soon. After being a Louisesicle for a couple of days, all I wanted to do was set fire to myself in the hopes that my toes would thaw [...]
We, like everyone else we know, are without power, heat, and water. So expect updates to be sparse until… Friday. Maybe.
I was right, I was home by noon. At around 11:00, the secretary came on the PA system to let us know that the streets were ice covered, so we’d all better “hit the road”, as ordered by the head office. I was home by 11:45 (yes my normally 12-minute drive took nearly 45; I [...]
Another snow day today… we are getting 20+ cm of snow (that’s ummm… 8 inches?) which isn’t a huge amount but I guess the fact that there’s freezing rain mixed in was enough to convince the powers that be to close school for the kids.

So far I have spent the weekend correcting and correcting and correcting. Later today (hopefully within the next 2 or 3 hours) I will be entering all these grades into the computer and letting it do its scientific magic. I love science and magic, don’t you? I would much rather be vacationing on the Outer [...]
I spent a lot of time this morning writing a page about how to de frizz a synthetic wig. You can check it out here, if you have any interest in that sort of thing.
Oh yeah baby I am back. So here we go again. And again, Lord only knows if I’ll finish. We shall see.
We’re getting higher-speed Internet starting next week, which is exciting. When I called about it, I asked about getting an Internet/phone/high definition cable package (although we gave up cable months ago– we don’t watch that much TV anyway, certainly not enough to justify a $100 a month cable bill, adn if it turns out that [...]
