So, how was your summer? Mine was fun. Saw some fish. Went mad with hunger. Hallucinated a whole bunch.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I love the new Fiat 500 and considered getting one, but I decided I needed a car big enough to drive my parents around in. Turns out my Focus isn't quite big enough to seat two tall people and a third adult.

My next car will probably be a hybrid or electric car. If I were buying a car now I'd probably get a Ford Fusion or Lincoln MK-Z hybrid.

Every time I see one, I say "Smahhht Cahhhhh". Somerville City Hall has several for officials to run errands with, part of a deal with the local dealership.

I've been seeing a lot of Fiats, which surprised me considering I'd never seen an ad for one before this year.

I love my Forester, but if I hadn't been in immediate need of a car when I bought it, I'd have gotten on the waiting list for one. Ah well.

Le Bistro Montage

Oh, I remember that place! It opened while I lived there, and it was very popular for the cheap big bowl of mac-n-cheese. I'm amazed it's still going.

I will chat with the Portland firm today at noon, and see what they say. Moving to Oregon just seems unlikely, because I'm spending so much time & energy dealing with my folks, and that would all get dumped on my sister. Hardly fair.

Well, we'll see. I'm making no decisions today.

I finally got around to changing McPhee's hours and pay. She'll earn the same, but work 10 hours less. We just do not need 25 hours of house-cleaning, errand-running a week. 15 should be more than enough.

YAY, something off my personal list.

Because books.

Will I be able to teach myself to make a spreadsheet? I've never had to use Excel or anything but Word.

I need to keep track of assigned content for every client (there are several types), who it was assigned to, when it's due, and when it came in. I'm just not sure how to set it up.

You'll get the hang of it pretty quick. And lots of helpers here if you get stuck.

WHAT? That can't be right.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Holy cow!
