As you may recall, I had to switch doctors last year due to an insurance change.
Several months later, my new doctor closed up shop and moved out of town. Her parting letter assured patients that a replacement was on the way.
The replacement apparently got a better offer, because she never materialized.
So here I am, [...]

My friend and blog-queen Annie has updated me to Word Press version something-or-other. I got some pretty funky stuff when I first pulled it up after the update, so if this page looks all squirrelly, try hitting the “refresh” key. Apparently, your cache may be confused, and we certainly don’t want any confused [...]

If you delete a user account and XP shows you a message about saving that user’s files in a folder on your desktop, that message is a prompt, not a promise. Save them yourself as XP is not going to do it automatically.

It’s 3:30 PM. Do you suppose I should get dressed before BD gets home from school in a few minutes?

Turns out that I overestimated. There were only 96 youth at the retreat, along with 39 adults. Despite having a “behind the scenes” kind of job, I really do feel spiritually refreshed.
Physically, on the other hand, I’m worn out.

Several years ago I served on a ministry team for a retreat in a women’s prison. I wrote about it here.
This weekend I am working on a similar retreat. But this may be even more intimidating than the prison one. This time I will be spending 3 days confined in a retreat center with over [...]

My mother-in-law crocheted a tote bag for BD’s birthday. Looks nice, doesn’t it?
Believe it or not, the bag is made from plastic grocery sacks, cut into strips.
With the current trend of taking reusable bags to the supermarket, I’m thinking these are an especially appropriate kind to use.
If I knew how to crochet, I’d [...]

Once upon a time, I almost burned down the house by setting the oil in a wok on fire. You can read about it here.
Yes, I did the exact same thing again. This time Mr. B was also in the room, and we were BOTH on computers with our backs to the stove. [...]
