Voldemort is basically a middle school girl: he has a locket, a diary, a tiara, a ring, and is completely obsessed with a teenage boy.

I need a house cleaner and a job to pay for that.

I need cleaning help as well. This old bod just can't do what it used to.

DR Singdaw, I heard there were over 400 accidents in the Twin Cities area, maybe it was a good idea to take public transit

400 Blows!

We had a very nice dinner and catch-up with Kevin. He left about 5 minutes ago to go to the Metropolitan Room to see a show. He (and I) are looking forward to the weekend get-together.

No pictorial evidence exists. Sorry.

what about the restaurant security cameras?

Saint Paul has the largest collection of preserved Victorian-era homes remaining in the country - more than 4 miles worth, in an area extending several blocks wide.  There are heavy restrictions on building work and restoration in the historic district, which can get quite expensive. But they've tried to give homeowners a break by authorizing cheaper alternatives which still look authentic. Apparently there is a faux-slate material that looks just like the real thing, but is a lot cheaper. Something to consider, anyway.

I've seen ads for some of these that look very attractive.

Well, it's time for me to leave work.  I keep saying that I have to do laundry (and I do), but then I go home and don't do the laundry.  I MUST do at least one load tonight.  Wish me luck. ;)

That sounds like me and cleaning out the refrigerator. I'm forever saying that I must do it--and I do get rid of the worst of it--but I never get around to doing the job properly. Laundry is so much easier!

I have literally spent the last two hours sending reminders to people.  I think for whatever reason, all these NY people I gave so much work to, some of them even career boosts, just dig in their heels and don't want to come.  It seems willful to me, and I never ever forget these things.

Last Friday I was notified that someone had used my Amazon credit card. I'm still not completely convinced that it was fraud as opposed to typing in an incorrect number, but of course the credit card companies aren't about to share their verification procedures and it's not something where you want to take a chance. So we cancelled my card. I have other cards to use, but that particular card was embedded in a number of places and I'm wracking my brain to recall which they were. I was told the new card would be delivered today via UPS. I rather doubted that it'd get here, but it did. It was 7:30 pm, but it got here. These things used to take about ten days. I plan to put all the dental work on this card and pick up lots of rebate points.

Have we ever seen any indoor photos of your place?


I'm pretty sure not. Because I am woefully behind in unpacking.

Any Ian McEwan fans out there? I loved "Atonement" and "Saturday." Right now I'm halfway through his latest, "The Children Act." Wonderful story of a judge who kicks her husband out the house and watches her personal life crumble while facings some heavy ethical and philosophical questions as a children's judge. The main case involves whether the child of Jehovah's Witnesses should be forced to undergo potentially life-saving blood transfusions, though they are against the family's religion. It's a slender novel, but it has really gripped me.

Sounds interesting

I'm tired from all the e-mailing and posting and posting and e-mailing.  It's exhausting.  Maybe a hot shower would be nice right about now.

Just finished watching a taping of a production of George M. Cohan's "Little Johnny Jones" at Goodspeed from way back in the day (imbd says it was 1980). The cast included Lenny Wolpe and Ernie Sabella. In one of the audience shots, it looks like our very own Elmore enjoying a laugh or two.
