I’m a bit out of sorts this week. \u00a0I went out of town over the weekend (for work) and didn’t get back until Monday evening. \u00a0This threw my entire week off. \u00a0Granted, I get derailed rather easily when taken out of my routine. \u00a0I’m quite sure my weekend contained nothing of relevance, so I’ll go with the “random news” format.<\/p>\n
In major life news, today is Donette’s last day as a teacher. \u00a0She is retiring from her life as an educator of our city’s children. \u00a0I do hope the little ones can cope, and this doesn’t throw them into a downward spiral of life. \u00a0Time will tell. \u00a0I imagine they will pull through.<\/p>\n
Almost but not quite as exciting was my birthday last week. \u00a0I quit counting but I’m somewhere in the mid-to-upper forties. \u00a0Remarkable. \u00a0Proof that good living and a healthy lifestyle aren’t necessarily required for longevity. \u00a0I went out for a nice steak dinner, and bought myself some new motorcycle tires and a pair of sunglasses. \u00a0(Neither of which have actually shown up yet.) \u00a0Yay.<\/p>\n
In far less captivating news, I upgraded the code on my webserver and switched it to a wireless connection. \u00a0Then I promptly switched it back to wired. \u00a0This is part of my grand plan to install a new drive in it and get a bit more practical use out of it. \u00a0You know, some use other than serving up web-pages to three readers and catching 40-50 spam comments a day. \u00a0Optimistic but quite\u00a0feasible; \u00a0Stay tuned for more fascinating progress on this project. \u00a0(In slightly related news, has anyone seen the prices of hard drives lately??!! \u00a0Eeeesh!! \u00a0I bought a 1 Tb drive in Oct 2010 for $54; \u00a0Now that same drive is $100. \u00a0That ain’t the way it’s supposed to work!)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
