Great day to be alive!


After the temperatures being below freezing for the better part of the last two weeks, we got a reprieve today; it got into the fifties! Of course it's a muddy mess outside, but I put on my chore boots and waded outside to give Blue and Libby some attention. I was surprised to see the amount of loose hair I got from both of them when I curried them. Gee, the temperatures are going back to single digits tomorrow; they need every hair they can muster.

Our bathtub drain froze a couple of days ago; it's no easy task to get it thawed, but Cliff got that done today, thank God. One winter we ended up bailing water from the tub to the toilet until spring arrived.

The other good thing about today: My daughter, Rachel, got my wireless router set up for me, so now I can use the laptop in the other rooms! She is a lot more persistent than I am. After she'd spent about two hours of her only day off in ten days on the phone with tech people at Belkin, I suggested she just forget about it. Nope, not her! Thank you Rachel.

Most of the snow and ice will be gone after today, which will make for easier walking for me and Cliff when we get our exercise.

It seems like months since I've ridden Blue.

    Thats my problem with high tech too. I simply don't take the time required to get it right. My daughter (like yours) does though. Maybe its an age thing?
