We signed our lease, picked up our keys, and took a first look at our new home.  We were pretty pleased -- brand-new carpet and everything freshly painted.  Our DSL modem has already been delivered so we will be all set to get that up and running

Monday Night at the Movies

11 April 2005, Monday 11:59 P GMT-08
John and I went to see Sahara tonight.  It was fun -- a combo of Indiana Jones and James Bond crossed with Mel Fisher.  I have never read the novel it's based on (or any Clive Cussler) so I don't know how faithful it was to the book.  At any rate,

Finished!

All the ends are woven in on Nick's sweater - yeah!  For awhile it seemed like two more appeared out of nowhere for every one that I wove in.  But at last it is all done.  Now I can start my next project, an entrelac pillow, with a clear conscienc

Taxes - Blech!

1 April 2005, Friday 10:04 P GMT-08
I used TurboTax to figure out and e-file John's taxes for him.  He's getting a Federal refund but owes more than this refund in state taxes - grrrr!  We find this particularly annoying because we are used to having no state income taxes in Florida.
