Just A Wee Update<\/b><\/p>\n

Sometimes problems present themselves. Other times, we create our own. This is one of those other times.<\/p>\n

I can’t go into details simply because I can’t tell at the moment who’s reading this (popping on and off the neighbor’s broadband has its disadvantages). What I can say is that we have a certain amount of cosmetic tomfoolery to do at the new house so we don’t get busted for a white lie we told when we signed the rental agreement. Our new landlord might actually be cool with our little arrangement but I’m not going to test that theory.<\/p>\n

I keep telling myself that this is temporary, but the intervening temporary months shouldn’t have to become a sticky mess. Let’s just get along and what he doesn’t know won’t hurt him. You know?<\/p>\n

Oh, there’s something else too. The intersection in front of the house is extraordinarily busy for a dead end. Didn’t see that coming.<\/p>\n

WARNING! Big Fat Jump Ahead…<\/i><\/p>\n

I’m set to bring the last furniture bits up to The Lodge this weekend. That’ll be the last of that so if everyone doesn’t have a perfect individual place to sleep\/sit\/rest their dinner plate, then so be it. I’m done. The last bit is a patio table with four chairs that have seemingly been around the world at this point. I’m going to paint the set flat black to match the Jeepster (I’m big on continuity, you know) and I’ll spend the rest of the weekend painting bathrooms white (continuity again).<\/p>\n

(this is going on and on. some “wee update!” -ed<\/i> Okay, I had more to say. Geez, you should be thrilled. -bob)<\/p>\n

And for those of you following that<\/i> drama, my writing partner is safe and well. Her situation has improved and she doesn’t appear to be moving any time soon. This came as a shock to me, as you might imagine. I heard hope in her voice today though, and that’s enough for me. It sounds trite to remark that if she’s happy I am too, but that’s the case here. I didn’t know what to do for her in the middle of the mess she was experiencing so I’m glad that it seems to have worked itself out. I still worry, of course, but that’s my nature.<\/p>\n

Whew! (I hope)<\/p>\n

Your crisis-averse pal,<\/p>\n

FUN BIT: The Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) has published a neat primer on legal issues facing bloggers<\/a> in the United States—in China they just torture you and cut off your hands (or sic Microsoft on you)—that helps lay out the rights and responsibilities of folks like me in this space. I think I’m in the clear here for everything on this page and in the archives, but if you’re mad about stuff I’ve written about you (and you know who you are) just let me know and we’ll work something out.<\/font><\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
