Spring break

Since I no longer have a spring break, I am going to live vicariously through people who do. So if you are going to be on spring break in the next few weeks I would love to hear some adventures.

12 hours too late

Last night a bunch of us got together and played some Loaded Questions. One of them was "Something you never joke about". My immediate thought was "clowns".
And then, 12 hours later, I find this quote on boingboing from Lon Chaney.
"there's nothing funny about a clown in the moonlight."
Yep, that about sums it up.

bored

Frankly, it gets pretty boring here out at the lake. I?ve been watching the first season of Mad Men (apparently I?m the last one to see it) and getting my computers to use the same Time Machine drive. It took a while but I finally got my powerbook to save to a USB drive connected to my desktop.
This guys site was great help. Now I have the peace of mind that comes with having regular backups.
Hopefully when it warms up some more (it was 28 this morning and is 36 right now) getting out and about will be more enjoyable.

Today is a woot off on woot.com. So far I?ve missed the cool stuff, but if nothing else woot offs give hope to the hopeless, allow the lame to walk, the blind to see and magically turn swords into plows.
It?s also been a pretty fun day at the lake. We?re still recovering from the big ice storm and they finally cleared the path from the houses to the office, so we no longer have to walk through the mud.
The office and the houses are the only buildings with power so far. The maintenance buildings are still running on a generator.
The visitor?s center was supposed to be hooked up to a generator today (it?s underground power lines were heavily damaged by tree roots that got pulled over) but we just found out that won?t be happening. I think the generator caught fire, but I could be wrong.

weather report

11ºF ?!?!
High of 18, low of 2.
I don't really want to leave my house today.

Although I have a beard and the physical area I shave is very small, I still enjoy a new, sharp razor blade. It really feels good.
It might be the aloe strip.

I need to start this up again. Take a day and get it in working order. Then take another day and start one for work. Then take a week and train everyone how to use the work one. yay?
