Tuesday?

Yep another Tuesday. I actually ran last night _and_ this morning. Wow 2 days in a row! But Ultimate Frisbee starts a week from Thursday and I need to be in top condition. Not really but I am enjoying the lack of ice [read being able to run without injuring myself yet another time on ice].

Josie made an amazing cheesecake yesterday, using that recipe from Aunt Jane. Man does it make a lot, but man is it good.

But really things are busy but good. Was nice to see lots of family on Easter. Greg and Ellen had ok excuses. Claire was cute but needs to work on her cat animal noise, Cmon'! The biggest Easter news is that Kate somehow did not break the new dishwasher.

So we had a visitor a few weeks back, Gizmo. He is a Shi-tsu and full of energy. When he first arrived he just ran around and smelled everything.


Eventually Toodles decided to check things out from a safe distance.


Gizmo decided Toodles was pretty scary, so he hid under a chair.


Our other cats were petrified, and hid (unsuccessfully) under tissue paper for hours.


But we all had fun. Here is Josie and Gizmo in their matching jackets heading out for a walk.

Ok this one is so good I had to share it --

Wisconsin nEwS!

Ok so I finally got a new computer. Yep the old PIII800 is getting retired from service. We had a good run but after 8 years the fans were getting frighteningly loud and once something broke it was not worth fixing. The new system is pretty good, another frankenbox from parts but delivers on performance [and cost]. So I'm glad to announce the geek council is considering re-instating me now that my system is not obsolete. All in all, things are lookin' up.

I could not have done it without help from the cats. Brought in a cousin of Pongo to help with wiring. As payment the cats get all the boxes stuff came in, which they love - of course.
