Baby food. That’s what Brett calls Indian food, because so much of it is mashed up and tooth-soft. I love Indian food. I have it for lunch sometimes, so Brett doesn’t have to eat it for dinner. (He and ginger have a problem with each other, and so many Indian dishes start with onions, garlic, […]

Monthly category archives in my blog now match the individual archives. This means that when you click on, say, April 2004, you no longer feel like you’ve been redirected to another site entirely because it’s all matchy-watchy. You like this very much. Trust me. I also tweaked the style sheet for Iowa Chicks Knitting. Apparently […]

Now why didn’t I find Learning Movable Type: Tutorials and Tips for Beginners six months ago, when I really needed it? Huh?

Driving back from Colorado, my cell phone rang. It was my brother, calling to say “Mom’s in the hospital; you should call her.” Since it was one in the morning local time, making it eleven in Portland, I decided to wait and call the next day. I arrived at my computer after a break to […]

Last night I went out to dinner at Regina’s with Mr. Brett, Joe, Bo, and Tahmi & Jason. I had two cocktails, tuna medium rare with wasabi aoili, and a slice of key lime pie. Delicious! I had lots and lots of fun, and I’m really glad all those fine folks came out with us. […]

In which there are two Wisbar Advance 2.0 themes. It’s fall! Leaves are turning, the nights are crisp! (Farmers are running heavy equipment all hours of the day on all sides of the farm…) To celebrate the season I bought McDeb’s great Autumn 2004 theme pack yesterday to help my PPC get into the autumnal […]
