Well, Dec/Jan were slow posting months. I suppose this was a good thing. Life was keeping me busy.

In December two new people really entered my life. On the 24th I discovered that my dear shimmeringjemmy was pregnant. During that month I also started a new relationship. (Yes, kids… Poly… Deal)

January was equally busy with the surprises that both changes can bring.

On the down side, the accident has really slowed me down more than I expected. This past week I received confirmation from my doctor that an MRI shows that I have a broken disc in my back. I have to be very careful now how I hold my back and how long I remain either standing or sitting. I have regular back flare ups which are handled with muscle relaxants and pain relievers. Fortunately, my PIP covers this.

As I head into February, I’m now pushing harder on the job search again. This is complicated by providing first trimester care and the complications with my back.

In the past month I’ve picked up 18 readers and lost 5.

So a welcome to:

As for the people who’ve left… Um.. **waves**

As always… newer readers should go to my main Administrivia post on Filters. I have certain posts that even “All Friends” don’t see. Though they are opt in via filters.

More soon.

I am reminded more and more that Seattle is not Pittsburgh…

Over all this is a good thing. One dose of Pittsburgh I will get on Sunday is to watch my football team run rampant and win 🙂

In the mean time there is only one other thing I really, really wish I could get… And I’d be forever indebted to anyone who could pull it off before Sunday.

First, look beyond the link

And no cheese. Other than that… load it up ‘n at.

**niff niff**

I seem to be the center of IM hell from time to time.

Now, I know fully that listing my IM’s in web pages, user databases, etc is probably not a good idea. Spam really wasn’t much of a problem <voice char=”wizenedElder”>waaaay back in the old days</voice>.

But now, any moron with a cyber-cafe in Bagladesh can log on and talk directly to you for mostly free.

So, from the home office (this time in Turkey) I give you today’s

Aww, come on… you know you want to…

I wrote an article for the Blue Horizon newsletter in the spring. The article received some excellent response. So I tweaked it and submitted it to Agape. Agape is the National OTO newsletter.

This quarter, my article is being published.

Agape Vol 7, Iss 4, page 11.

I have sent an Evite ™ out to the general collective of peoples that I know in the Seattle area for our Superbowl Shindig.

I’m announcing it here for two reasons….

  1. I may not have everyone’s email
  2. I may have missed someone
  3. Evites for some reason don’t always get to the people I send them to

Damn those spam blockers

So, if’n you’re interested… and if’n you haven’t seen an evite… Tell me here. And I’ll send and resend until we get an invite through to you 😉
