I have a 19" Trinitron Dell CRT computer monitor that I don't need. If any Somervillains want it, it's yours to be picked up. Email me at my profile address.

Having just been bought a Dyson, I now have a nice upright Hoover suckmonster (with bag, so it's suitable for households with pets), complete with tools and extra bags.

If anyone local to San Francisco needs it, ping me and let me know at the profile addy. Free if you come get it.

I'm going out of town and will be dark until sometime late on Sunday.

Hec and I will each be writing books about beloved albums for the 33 1/3 series.

My MIL , through a series of events to long to repeat, gets most of her nutrtion through a tube. Last night she ended up in the hospital due to a stomach flu. We have a very muddled picture of what is actually going on. I'm sending her strength to fight this . And a lot fo serenity for my FIL. and hugs to all her boys.

My dad passed away yesterday.

He wasn't in the best of health, but his death was very sudden ("It's always sudden"). I'm thankful that it came quickly -- He had a brain aneurysm sometime during the night and died late in the morning.

I'm in Phoenix until Tuesday, and will obviously be gray until Tuesday night.

Oh, Jon, I'm so so sorry.

My news is that we got a puppy! He's not coming home till next week (he has to be fixed first), but he is OURS ALL OURS. Here is a picture of him from two weeks ago (he's a lot bigger now):
