Relay the Deucey.
Last night, we completed all of the calls on the Plus-level calling list. We still have four weeks of class left, which means that it’s all going to be review, learning the calls from unusual positions, and more challenging, faster calling. I am amazed at how fantastically well this class has progressed in learning the ...Read more.
Green Sunday
Had a lovely massage with a client Sunday morning, then while chatting with Albadger, he mentioned that he needed some help delivering a recliner to -h (henare).

But truly, I can’t ...Read more.

I bought an internal card because the laptop already had internal antennae installed in it, and I found a ...Read more.
Do You Trust My Taste in Music?

Spin Change and Exchange the Gears
The miniPCI WiFi card for my laptop showed up today. Yipee! I got it installed and tested out on the network here at UGH. Now all I need is for the new battery to arrive, which UPS says will be here on Thursday, and I’ll be all set to hang out at BearBears in the ...Read more.
