Just in case ya'll want to know, I set up a new blog for just my writings. So now my blogs are:
leisl.blogspot.com - mostly photos, but some writing
lifegratitude.blogspot.com - gratitude list
vestasophia.blogspot.com - writings only

I posted a picture of my cello on the photo blog. Soooo pretty.

There's a cat in the house!
A large black male cat named Baby! Not a permanent addition to the family, tho. We're just babysitting him for a couple weeks while our friend moves out here from Raleigh. :-)

OK all you geeks and geekettes - got a question: If I were to download an HTML file and it tells me it went to "windows clipboard", where do I go to retrieve it and how do I get there?

I need a gps beacon to hide in Ian's shoe. Anyone have one??

Ian will be living here starting on Monday. My college plans will have to wait for another couple years and I'll be staying here in Caldwell. There's an encouraging "alternative" high school that he should be able to attend in April, hopefully, otherwise next year for sure.

If anybody wants to be his "warden" for part of the summer, I'm taking applications. He's 16 tomorrow, so pesky child labor laws aren't such a problem. I am happy to have him back, don't get me wrong - I've missed him something awful - but I'm not at all naive about what getting him to graduation without taking a little vacation at the juvenile detention center is going to require. Frequent moral support is requested - for me and for him, I'm sure.

On the positive side, the Acousticats live on! (Ian will be a groupie at all practices)

George Bush has a heart attack and dies. He goes to Hell where the Devil is waiting for him.

"I don't know what to do," says the Devil. "You're on my list but I have no room for you. But you definitely have to stay here, so I'll tell you what I'm going to do. I've got three people here who weren't quite as bad as you. I'll let one of them go, but you have to take their place.
I'll even let YOU decide who leaves."

George thought that sounded pretty good so he agreed.

The devil opened the first room. In it was Richard Nixon and a large pool of water. He kept diving in and surfacing empty handed over and over and over, such was his fate in Hell.

"No!" George said. "I don't think so. I'm not a good swimmer and I don't think I could do that all day long."

The Devil led him to the next room. In it was Tony Blair with a sledgehammer and a room full of rocks. All he did was swing that hammer, time after time after time.

"No! I've got this problem with my shoulder. I would be in constant agony if all I could do was break rocks all day!" commented George.

The Devil opened a third door. In it, George saw Bill Clinton lying naked on the floor with his arms staked over his head and his legs staked in spread-eagle pose. Bent over him was Monica Lewinsky, doing what she does best.

Bush looked at this in disbelief for a while and finally said, "Yeah, I can handle this."

The Devil smiled and said, "Monica, you're free to go!"

Anyone out there an expert on auto air conditioners? Had mine serviced on the Explorer last fall and it's already pumping out regular air (not refrigerated)(( Boo Hoo)). Converted from the old juice to the new and it worked for most of the fall/winter but has now failed again and I roast whenever I have to go out in my car. Don't know if I can stand the heat much longer and it's only 2 February (appropriate whine *here*). Any suggestions?

SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT


Many will recall that on July 8, 1947 witnesses
claimed that an unidentified object with five aliens aboard crashed
onto a sheep and cattle ranch outside Roswell , New Mexico .


This is a well known incident that many say has long
been covered up by the U.S. Air Force and the Federal Government.


However, you may NOT know that in the month of March
1948..exactly nine months after that historic day:



Albert Arnold Gore, Jr.

Hillary Rodham ;

John F. Kerry;

William Jefferson Clinton;

Howard Dean;

Nancy Pelosi;

Dianne Feinstein;

Charles E. Schumer and,

Barbara Boxer



were born.



See what happens when aliens cross breed with
sheep...

Been monitoring the web cam at Last Chance http://www.allmountaincams.com/jackson-hole-webcams/island-park-idaho-webcam.htm
and see that George has plenty of snow to enjoy....
