Hell’s Half Acre

Jamie has caught the tummy bug that has managed to pass itself around here regardless of the fact that we interact with few people. We really must be living in a petri dish to constantly be picking up these bugs without having contact to infect us. Since he was under the weather and [...]

What an ABSOLUTE Farking headache! I’ve been at this since early yesterday and I’m still not absolutely certain it is fixed. My one saving grace is that I ALWAYS button down the files on my server. They are ALL and ALWAYS set to 0644 (file permissions) and 0755 (directory). So no [...]

He’s got chicken soup on the stove, just cranked the stereo and is hip thrusting to “Burning Down the House” and he knows All The Lyrics. He’s cooking up grilled cheese with the Amish cheese and bread we bought yesterday and while he is doing NOTHING the way *I* would do it, but he’s [...]

Yesterday, Jamie had an awful birthday. He is convinced he has Typhoid again (after being sick one day) so we’re off to the clinic again. Think of him today, would you?

If you don’t recognize “Le Tour” you might want to skip this one too…
We have been desperately trying to find Le Tour on TV Azteca. According to the official Tour website, Mexico (which for some reason known only to the French resides on the continent of South America) is supposed to carry Le Tour [...]

Thanks for the emails and comments - Jamie was in bed all day today but he didn’t sleep all day and the doctor came by and examined him and we got Internet access again and while he is getting depressed about being sick, I see that he is slowly, VERY slowly getting better.  Tomorrow he [...]
