I guess you haven't been out in early morning. I have had to deal with frost
a few times. I walked through it once, gettng my shoes and pant hems wet.
I had to scrap the windows once, and would have had to this morning except
that STeve was at work all night and got home just as I had to leave (the car
was nice and toasty warm for me). The cars parted out front had moderate to
heavy frost on them.

Frost up here all week but since the frost is a side-effect of the amazingly
clear and sunny weather we've been having and the alternative is non-stop
really cold rain, I'll gladly deal with the frost..

Some parts of town must get colder than others. Frost would have killed the
impatiens and I don't see any sign of anything having been hit by frost here
yet. We are in a relatively high area and cold air settles downwards.
Tonight Lansing is supposed to hit 20 and Toledo low 20s.
Jim's neighbor asked if we could use some cheese - 12 packages showed up!
(She does not do things in a small way - last time was lots of lettuce).

Sindi, you're down in the creek valley so it's a bit warmer. I used to notice
stuff blooming a week or more apart as I walked up to my house near the top
of the valley.

I am at Jim's house this month, actually, which is in a higher area.
My apartment has stairs to the bathroom so I have not been staying there.
The bathroom (basement) definitely stays cooler than the upstairs.
Things bloom earlier near south walls of houses.

I'm happy because Mr. Gelinas came over to my house and fixed a computer
problem I've been having. Thanks Joe!

IHB it's only supposed to be in the thirties today.
IAHB Ken is here for the weekend, and I got to meet one of his best friends
last night. We're going to see "Stomp" this afternoon, and I'm having a party
tonight so he can meet my friends. :)

Did sound at the Greenwood again last night - could be a semi-regular gig.
Plus a good opportunity to experiment with recording.

IHB I wacked several inches off of m y beard and I now can reach for a pen
in my shirt pocket without pulling out a handful of whiskers.
In the ambivalent department, I'm happy to report that my son's girlfriend
recovered from her accident. She also recovered from whatever affection she
felt for him and unceremoniously gave him the heave-ho. He seems quietly
resigned to this and perhaps a little puzzled. Nevertheless, everybody';s
wounds seem to be healing--a clear reason for entering this in the "Hapopy"
item.

IHB- The Beau is here (and he always makes me happy) and sometime this
afternoon we're suppoised to meet up for lunch with my sister and
brother-in-law. Sis and the bro-in-law are here for a wedding, and
while I don't know the couple very well I was pleased to be able to
congratulate them last night when the roomie, beau and I ran into said
couple at Applebees last night. I wasn't sure I was going to say hi
because, as I said, I don't know them well, but I pointed them out to
the Beau saying "Hey, I know those people, they're getting married on
Sunday" and apparently the groom's father was walking in right behind
me... It all became clear to the bride and groom once I told them who
my sister and bro-in-law were.
Hmm, IAHB- work is going very well, and while it's not rocket science
or anything, it is fun, and I have fun co-workers. And the bosses think
well enough of my skills to give me extra responsibilities. I also
frequently get asked to train the new temps on some of the
programs/ways of doing things. It's cool.

Slackware 8, but i intend to replace it with/add Debian 3 when the
other disk arrives).

RE#356 -- I forget the exact dates...late in the month as I remember, probably
only on the main island.

IHB "This American Life" had a really interesting piece on Steve
Tobocman who is a state house rep from Detroit. It was an enlightening
look at the legislative process.

IHB I'm down 64 lbs. This really feels amazing. I'm also happy because my
girlfriend's house is really coming along nicely. I will be able to install
cabinets after this.

I'm up at least 13 pounds. Perhaps we will meet in the middle. If I lose
64 pounds will I be able to install cabinets?

Sindi, if you lose 64 pounds you'll fit into cabinets. Folded neatly.

I completely rewrote an nearly useless script which converts numbers (up to
about 20 digits) to their long names. I originally wrote it in javascript,
and just moved it to applescript. I use it for automating my check-writing,
though they're never more than four digits. ;)
Anyway, it is far better and more stable now. It loops, but is not recursive.
It even handles thousands separators intelligently. Soon it will be available
on the website for the excellent shareware text-editing program, Tex-Edit
Plus.

IHB- tomorrow happens to be a bank holiday... I work for a bank, this
means I have tomorrow off. So the Beau is coming down to spend the
afternoon with me. Is good.
IAHB- I had a wonderful time (though not enough time) with my sister,
bro-in-law and their wonderful host. Was introduced to a wonderful
breakfast place too. Was a very enjoyable time.
