Water broke; see you all in the flip side (and feel free to share info). I'm a little preoccupied.
I'm taking the liberty of posting here because, see above, preoccupied.
None of it means a damn thing.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Until late last night was "dark" in a more literal sense than the term is usually used here. No power, no heat, snowed in, so no mail, trash pickup, newspaper delivery. phones worked, gas burner for cooking worked, phone worked, so could have called for emergency vehicles if it had been life or death. Turned refrigerator/freezer into old fashioned icebox with snowpacks made from plentifully available snow and garbage bags. Really nice not to have to shave by flashlight this morning.

Because it's nice to have some good news to share for a change: my contract got extended again, with indication that it will be extended again in the future, at least until the project is well and truly online.

Hey gang, any health~ma you can spare for my 87-year-old cousin would be greatly appreciated. She's recovering from heart problems and pneumonia (both of which medications seem to have gotten a handle on), but is only slowly getting her strength back and is now being bothered by a pain in her hip that's limiting her mobility.

Guys --
Someone you will remember my friends Gary and Traci, whose 2nd baby boy was born last year with heart problems, which required immediate surgeries and extended hospital care. Several Buffistas donated money. (Thank you!)
They've been selected to be the 2012 Ambassador Family for the March of Dimes.

And my Dad just had a stroke. He's in the ICU overnight, but otherwise things seem OK for now.
