March 7 March is the homeowner’s month. It is time to put away the snow shovel, but not yet time to get out the lawnmower. For the first time in… probably a year or more, the dining room table is cleared off as a friend is coming over so David can take a look at his laptop. The stuff that was on there was a mish-mosh of things that Timmy sent me from Mom’s house; I’ve successfully ignored them all this time because I’d unpacked them with the vague idea of organizing, sorting, and tossing junk and only got 3/4…

We returned home from Kona to Chicago yesterday, taking an overnight flight so that we arrived yesterday morning at about 530AM. The last time I took a red-eye, I went straight to bed and was wide awake all night, so David advised me to stay up all day and not even nap until 9PM. Well, I made it to about noon, kept sliding sideways on the couch, and finally gave up and went upstairs. I did turn on the radio, though, thinking that I’d only “nap” for a couple of hours and “listen” to WBEZ’s Sunday programming. Hah. Well, I…

I’ve been to…. probably 6 or 7 luau (feasts) in the more than 20 years that I’ve been going to Hawaii. The first time I ever went was in 86 or so… it was a travel agent fam and amongst all the salesy-markety stuff events that were arranged for us was at least one luau. I’ve always had a good time and had a good experience, although some luau productions and settings are better than others. I’ve never walked out of a luau feeling depressed and sad for the performers until now. David and I just got back from an…

Yesterday, the day after Bobby Jindal’s woefully inadequate “response to the Presidential Address,” we decided to go visit a volcano to see how our tax dollars are being spent in research. This is one of the things Jindal derided in his prepared remarks. HVO Kilauea Status Page Activity Summary for past 24 hours: The ongoing DI event began the inflation phase yesterday, which continues this morning. Sulfur dioxide emission rates remain elevated from the Halema`uma`u vent. Sulfur dioxide emissions continue to be elevated from the Pu`u `O`o vent. Lava from east rift zone vents appears to have resumed flow through…

These little nori-wrapped snacks are so tasty, and so evil. I think I can’t tolerate the seaweed or one of the food colors, there are always mild, yet horribly aromatic consequences. They’re slightly sweet and savory. We have another bagful sans nori, and we’ll see if they present any problems later. Ginny I can has iPhone?

Just fooling around testing drop shadows – will try using them floated to the right now and then. The theme of this post is drop shadows via CSS and cute cat photos are obligatory for examples. So, with any luck, wa-la! Why? Well, some bloggers like to use small thumbnails floated to the right instead of to the left, especially if there’s some theme or product information they are discussing in the body of the post. And ***Dave is having some display problems with right-floated images in IE7, although his blog looks great in Firefox and fine in IE7. Blogula…
