Progress report and a bit of a weather report too.

January 30, 2008

We’re having one of our delightful cold snaps. Monday, I kept the kids home from school but yesterday we ventured out. I’ve never seen the temperature indicator on my Explorer get this low:

Anyway, I’ve completed the new duvet cover:

See this mess?

I’m going to try to improve it.

Here are the raw materials, a big bucket of paint, and about 20 meters of fabric and a white dog.

I’ll keep you posted. Casper wants to help. Actually, Casper just wants to go for a walk so he wishes I’d get finished with all this nonsense!!

A couple of clicks to help the animals please!

January 24, 2008

I got a message from my girlfriend Nancy yesterday pointing me to a website that raises money to feed rescue animals.

Please go click the purple button…it only takes a second, then you can come back.

(This is the note that we got from the Rescue organization:

Hi, all you animal lovers. This is pretty simple… Please tell ten
friends to tell ten today! The Animal Rescue Site is having trouble
getting enough people to click on it daily to meet their quota of
getting free food donated every day to abused and neglected animals. It
takes less than a minute (How about 20 seconds) to go to their site and
click on the purple box ‘fund food for animals’ for free. This doesn’t
cost you a thing. Their corporate sponsors/advertiser s use the number
of daily visits to donate food to abandoned/neglected animals in
exchange for advertising.
Here’s the web site! Pass it along to people you know.
