That's awesome, Tom!

Yay for entrepreneurism and proliferation of talent, Tom!

I'm sure this is a wise and fruitful investment.

That is the plan.

Oh, good, then I can stop feeling guilty about the pictures I've saved to my hard drive.

Does this mean we can buy prints from you now.

This was my exact thought. I'm moving into a new office soon and I'd love to hang one of your prints.

Who recommended The Bletchley Circle? It is so good! I wish there were more of it.

Go Scola! That's terrific.

Man, I hat my front yard right now. Been working on it for 4 hours and it still looks terrible. On the plus side, I listened to the Cory Booker Wait Wait and it was amazing.

Autocorrect turned whatever I typed instead of "my" into "emu", so now I want to try letting emus take care of my landscaping. Seems like a winning proposition.

Very cool, Scola! Does that allow you to do different things/have more control of the output, or did you just figure it was cheaper in the long run than using a service or something?

I am not a morning person at all. But at the same time, when I get depressed and gloomy for some reason, it's remarkable how it seems to always seem so much less bad/important in the morning after a night of sleep... (Brought to you in part by being at a dance convention and feeling very alone and uncool and a terrible dancer last night, and feeling much better this morning)

Tom, I will definitely buy a print of that picture of Magda from you.

Speaking of dogs which are gone, this made me cry a little bit: [link]

The Boss is disappointed in me: we did go for a run this morning, but I'm insufficiently exciting right now, fussing about cleaning the house so my niece can dogsit without embarrassment. (I'm going to SoCal for 2 days of training in Oceanside, sigh.)

That's awesome, Tom!

I just called my aunt and talked to her for a while. She's out of the hospital and in a rehab facility now. They're not sure if she'll be able to walk again or not, but she's working with a physical therapist and the doctors and they say that she might or might not. She sounded happy to hear from me, and told me to remind my sister to call her, too.

There's something clearly absurd about cleaning your house the day before holes will be cut in your walls and ceiling, but at least there won't be cat hair to get dusty.

I need to go set up a cat box next door. Tomorrow morning will be crazy enough, schlepping over cats and computers and food and probably finding things in the house that need to be moved out of the way.

Tom, I'm excited for you. Much sexier reason to drop big bucks than pipes!

I really think I'm barely getting ahead of potential disaster. A new leak popped up and it's not sealing itself. It's tiny, evaporating before it can drip, but....
