Dear Corwood Family,

I will send you a tape of the Pretty Jesse on TV. never fear. Please to tell the lil'spere that aunty (my real name) misses him and is sorry I can't visit this holiday.

Love, me.

Dear Aunty (your real name),

On behalf of the Corwoods and Li'l Sphere (his own bad self), allow me to express my pleasure and appreciation at the news of impending tapehood and regret that we won't be seeing you this holiday season. Li'l Sphere asks that we attempt to rectify the latter issue in a timely manner. I assured him that all parties were working towards a mutually agreeable solution, which I hope was not too presumptious of me.

Love, (my real name)

OMG, ita, those photos are making me ill, they're so beautiful.

Seriously.

And really, he had to have cheated and at least taken multiple exposures of the one shot. But still, damn cool.

It says he only took one photograph. Doesn't sound like bracketing.

Well, I've given up on one thing. I can't fill out that pain management pre-questionnaire without getting anxious and irritable (okay, moreso). The questions are cheesy and/or imprecise. Sometimes also hard to apply to my headaches. Am I really supposed to colour in the entire scalp to show where the pain is?

I also suspect I'm not coming back to the office. And tonight is the night of the krav holiday party! That's so not happening without a nap. At least.

If you're ordering from Proflowers, you can click the microphone at the top and put in Al (for Al Franken) and you'll get a free vase.

Cool.

I got my new glasses this morning. They are a pretty reddish copper color, and aren't broken, and fit better than the old ones. I mau never get used to the progessive lenses thing though.

Here's a kind of cool picture from Thanksgiving this year: [link]

Roombas manufactured after October 2005 contain an electronic and software interface that allows you to control or modify Roomba's behavior and remotely monitor its sensors. This interface is called the Roomba Serial Control Interface or Roomba SCI. If you are a Roomba owner, your Roomba can be upgraded by following the below instructions. This update is not a necessary enhancement for Roomba owners, rather it is intended for software programmers and roboticists to create their own enhancements to Roomba.

roombahacks.com is available....

Man those MIT geek scientists are Teh Shit.

Am I really supposed to colour in the entire scalp to show where the pain is?

Yes. But I feel like you have described ones that were more local, or directed? Maybe fill it out tomorrow. Also really don't go back to work.

Yay for Perkins's new glasses!

msbelle, is your year-end medical expenses stuff with a Flexible Spending Account? If so, there should be a "grace period" until March 15th 2006 to spend anything left over at the end of 2005.

IRS notice 2005-42 is the relevant notice, but your provider should have easier to digest details.
