Big congratulations to Laurenn and Alex on their engagement! Team Married™ welcomes you.
The TOTAL IMMERSION guy is doing a swim clinic in Kansas City in January. I want to go sooo bad, but it’s $500. $450 if you do it with a friend. I might be able to get somebody from Team in Training to sign up with me, but ouch, that’s a lot of money. And I’m trying to pinch pennies right now so that we can switch to the fancy gym that has childcare. I may have to sit this one out and hope he comes back.
Keep Calm. (Thanks, Old Aunt Amy!)
Welcome to the world, Eleanor Mann! Congratulations, Madeline and Merlin. (I’m stupidly excited about Merlin’s kid and our kid being so close in age — not because I’m a creepy stalker — well, okay, not JUST because I’m a creepy stalker — but also because it means he’ll be addressing productivity and child-rearing issues just as we’re trying to figure these things out. So… I am both a stalker and a N3rd. But also? Happy. Yay, babies.)
More ups: Harold talks to Publisher’s Weekly about Thunder Road.
So, I downloaded the new NetNewsWire and to my delight, it found my license number (the one I thought I lost with the laptop) and registered it for me. So now I’m trying to decide whether to switch back to it from the Google reader I’m using now. I really like the STAR and SHARE features on the Google reader (and the amazing limitless search function that I don’t even understand) but the interface doesn’t please me. Hm. Droob? Thoughts?
This thread on Fraction’s board amuses me.
I still owe 9,000 people thank you notes. I’m giving up on writing most of them by hand and planning to send e-mail… soon.
Rebecca and Ryan’s wedding was gorgeous and we were delighted to be there. I cried. (Duh.) Also? Incredibly grateful to Kara and Tony for watching HL and allowing us a night out.
Okay, my dad and step-mom are visiting today and I have some mad cleaning to do so that’s all for now. Later!

RE: Google Reader. I am using it now after seeing YOU using it. I had some problems just understanding how to use it and there are functions that might as well be written in Sanskrit as far as I am concerned. That’s because I am wub ignorant.

Yeah, Drew…show us the righteous path. You guys do it first so I can copy.

I think the closest analogs to Google Reader’s “star” and “share” in NNW are “Mark as Flagged” and “Post to del.icio.us”/”Post to blog”.

And with the NNW subscription, you can sync to your bundled newsgator.com account, and read from multiple machines and the web without keeping track of what’s old. I like it.

Were I in KC and were I in possession of a spare $450, I would totally immerse myself with you. The book is too hard to read while you’re swimming.

KSD–have always wanted to go to a total immersion clinic. I will panhandle with you. Also? I WILL NOT LET YOU EMAIL THANK YOU NOTES. Sorry.

If I could instantly teleport to KC and take that TI class with you. There’s a clinic in Tokyo, but they don’t have any English speakers. =(
