Where Greatness is Learned
These are some of the wireless networks available from my living room.

Rocks and Shoals
More bits and pieces.
Yesterday my Great Aunt–my grandmother’s sister–went into the hospital. They’re still not sure what happened, but she should be stepped down to a regular room tomorrow.
Michael’s grandmother is still in the skilled care facility, and her kidney function is still poor.
On a positive note, we just started watching season 6 of Deep [...]

Aziz! Light!
Helped our friend Kim rewire her basement on Saturday. She needed a new outlet for a chest freezer, so it made sense since we were already adding a new breaker and outlet, to go ahead and have more outlets (you can never have too many electrical outlets) and fix some of her lights, so they [...]

Quizzy Goodness – The Bible
I think what I found most amusing, was that the last question was, “Do you read the bible” and my answer was “No.”
I just read a lot about religion is all.
Too bad it doesn’t tell me what I missed. I’m pretty sure it was one or both of the “which book follows which book” questions.

Just a Bit About Other Things
As I mentioned earlier, Michael’s Grandmother’s health is failing. In fact, that’s an optimistic way of putting it I think. She’s lost kidney function and has refused dialysis. When we traveled to see her, she was barely coherent, and spent most of our visit asleep.
As a small update, she’s been moved into a skilled nursing [...]
Curse of the Golden Flower
Michael and I went to see Curse of the Golden Flower last night. (Why we got that and not Fearless [despite the fact they had a huge poster up for Fearless] is beyond my comprehension.)
It wasn’t bad. But it was even more depressing than The House of Flying Daggers. So it wasn’t precisely [...]

Out and About
Grandmom and I just got back from visiting Andy’s parents, where I got to finally meet Natalie!
Cute! Cute! Cute!
Hard to imagine that Andy of all people has such a cute baby!
Unfortunately, I left the camera in the car, so no pictures. Sorry.
But seriously.
Cute! Cute! Cute!

Battlestar Galactica
I got Michael the mini-series pilot and season one of Battlestar Galactica, so yesterday as a break from watching Deep Space Nine (my all time favorite) with my grandmother, we watched the Battlestar Galactica miniseries.
I realize that this is out of the ordinary for us, since not only is the show not several years old, [...]

Damn Murphy’s Law
Today’s plans were to finish cleaning the house and to go to the moves. (Although Morgantown never got Fearless in the theaters, we have Curse of the Golden Flower. I will never understand how these things work.)
When Michael got up, the bedroom light had stopped working, and needed to be replaced. When we left the [...]

Life Is What It Is
It’s Saturday morning, and I can’t bring myself to get out of bed.
Normally I love the possibility of the weekend, but now, all I can think of are the tasks that loom before me, things that have remained undone because of work, because of travel, because of who knows why.
It’s not that I’m lazy, but [...]

Where The Heck Have I Been
An insanely busy work week opening up the new facility, followed up by driving 950 miles over a four day weekend for a wedding in Virginia, and visiting Michael’s grandmother in the hospital in Ohio.
Michael’s grandmother isn’t doing well at all; we’ll probably have an even less pleasant trip to Ohio in the coming weeks.
One [...]

And I Would Walk 500 Miles…
At least it felt like that. I spent most of the day walking around the lab helping people get settled into the new facility. Things went surprisingly well from an operational standpoint.
Plus, I got to tell 27″ TV guy that he is NOT welcome in the facility; I got to be the lab bouncer. [...]

SPLAT!
Came back to work Wednesday, to find out that the new facility opens Monday.
So we have to get all the computers set up. Between the open lab and the two classrooms, that’s about 100 computers.
Plus the printers and scanners and other sundries.
Plus, we have to get out offices set up somewhere in there.
Plus, we have [...]

Happy New Year!
I can’t believe it’s 2007 already.
