Still alive, yes I am!

Just to catch you all up on my doings...

I have moved again (address and phone number available for the asking). I live in Chewelah now, in a lovely little 2 bedroom place that I should own, but the woman at Bank of America is dreadfully incompetent. In theory, the place will close on monday (yes, I live in it before it's closed...scary making). Then again, in theory it should have closed last week.

I start my new job this week. I've really enjoyed having a month of vacation, but I'm looking forward to starting my job too :)

Thanks to a few friends of mine (you know who you are boys) there has been a significant increase in pictures of pretty naked people in my life. Quite enjoying that. Not so much enjoying the complete absence of pretty naked people in my house, but I guess that's one of the side effects of living in Eastern Washington.

My old dog (Tipper) is going downhill, but still hanging in, hopefully she'll hang in a good long time yet.

My baby horse (Bird) is doing excellent in training. I've been riding him out on the logging roads and deer trails, and he's amazingly calm about new things, and adapts well to different footing (a concern I had, because he's mildly neurologic). He's also incredibly un-spooky: doesn't seem to care when the dog runs deer across the road in front of him, or grouse flush out almost under his nose.

My brother and his wife are expecting their second kid (Crazy Aunt Jes will be an aunt again!). The c-section is scheduled for tuesday if she doesn't go into labor before then.

And I think that's about it. Now for the required memage:

Bold the ones you know you can do because you've done them, italicize the ones you think you could do with a reasonable amount of competence.

A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly. Specialization is for insects. — Robert A. Heinlein

NAKED PEOPLES! When did I miss that?

Whoops! Um, does D&D count?

not for most things... unless you're one of those incredibly fanatic players that takes all the things that happen to their character personally...

No, I'm not that much of a freak.
