I’m worried about him.
Believers out there should feel free to say a prayer for his quick recovery.

Happy Mother’s Day
Happy Mother’s Day to all who fit the description. 🙂
Deb’s family is coming over for a BBQ today — two kinds of steak, chicken and spicy sausages — in honour of the day. My family was supposed to come as well, but Anne is down with an abysmally bad headcold, so we’re going to hold off visiting with them until next week. That’s still ten people, so it should be fun. Zoe isn’t coming, though. She’s lots of fun to have along but somehow three big dogs seems to cause about three times the confusion of just two. Maybe next time.

Miscommunication is the root of all evil.
Does anyone else find it frustrating that sometimes, even though all parties involved in a situation are acting in good faith, no matter much effort is put into it, it ends badly?

Back on Tiger
The site has been restored on Tiger. There is still a bit of clean up to do, but it’s back. Happy Reading. 🙂

No Tigers here
I picked up Tiger last night, but the DVD in the box was corrrupt. I tried cleaning it with a lens grade cleaning cloth (radial strokes only), and then tried it in both my Macs. In each case, it failed the “verifying your DVD” check at the 68% mark. I’m going to go down to the Mac shop again today to see if they still have any copies left that I can swap for.
On a related note: I’m going to back up this site (and the MySQL database that WordPress runs on) before I upgrade. I haven’t heard of any problems getting it all running on Tiger, but if you can’t find us for a while over the next few days, at least you’ll know why.

Knitter’s road trip
Deb is away Thursday to Sunday this week. She and the Knit Wits are off doing whatever it is that they do when at Brown’s Bay. What I really like about that is that it’s proof that she’s mostly mended from the operation. Yay!

The season is over.
Divertimento played their last two concerts for the season this weekend. The Friday night concert was ok, but the Saturday concert was considerably better. Luckily, my family all came to the Saturday night show. Both concerts were recorded, and CDs are being made.
Now I have to switch gears and start thinking about practicing the pieces for Sandra (my cello teacher). I really would like to go back to the orchestra in the fall able to play better than I can now, not lousy from a summer of goofing off on my practice. I guess we’ll see how well that wish translates into reality.

My new bike
In the better late than never dept…
I got a new bike last week. It’s a softtail from Rocky Mountain Bicycles called a “Carve”. Very nice. There are some reviews of it
here.
Can’t find the original review site, but here is a pointer to a site with a description.

I was off work yesterday.
I missed a day yesterday, with severe stomach problems. Given that Deb just finished a run of anti-biotics to take care of a similar problem, I was somewhat worried. However, I seem to be nearly 100% again today, so I suspect I may have just poisoned myself with the BBQ on the weekend. Must. Buy. Better. Hamburger.

Slow news day
There’s a picture of the fire on the front page of the Citizen, with some more details on page 10. They don’t actually match exactly the version of the story we heard from the fire dept., but I guess that’s typical in these kinds of things. It was interesting to see just how many versions of the story could be generated by people wandering around and telling each other their guesses.
(If you happen to have an electronic subscription to the Citizen,
hereis a link to the article.)Update: Another (more sensational, as usual) version of the story can be found at the
Sun.
