The new LAN, almost
The cruft has finally been banished to hard-to-reach corners and cracks in the wall, allowing us to take the first run at getting the new LAN in place. We had visualized a more vertical substrate hugging the wall, but time prudence and our ‘deconstruct’ mantra dictated recycling the old LAN rack, also formerly home to […]
Feeling good on a pleasant rainy morning….
Cassie and I spotted this last orphan string of cheery holiday lights as we made our way around the neighborhood in a light rain this morning. I have to say I feel as good, and am nearly as mobile as I was before the craniotomy/biopsy. The ’settling’ down period post-radiation and chemo-1, has left me […]
2007’s first p2 ‘victim’

Photo above doesn’t really reveal the […]

The LAN at […]
A bright new year dawns
New Year’s day dawned bright and gleaming on Oak Knoll Lane this morning, a harbinger I hope, for a bright 2007. Cassie and I made our not-quite-2-mile spin in good style, and I used the opportunity to get more familiar with the Lumix DMC FZ50. Linda, meantime, started the year with the tough Dish run.
I […]
