Our Internet *may* be down for a few hours...or (gulp) days.

We officially moved into our new house yesterday. I am back at the old house sitting in a pile dirt and debris using the WiFi. Comcast is coming to hook up our new faster (yay!) Internet today-- however, I am honestly a little nauseous because this is an older house...it hasn't had phone or cable in a few years and I am worried that they won't be able to get us connected as planned and the internet is being shut off here tomorrow. Stay tuned...

OSS Family Tree Legends

So I've been playing around with Family Tree Legends the open source genealogy program and I've got to say-- it is pretty great. It is fairly easy to use and can do a remarkable amount. In the course of working on building a sample family tree I learned that my great grandmother was born in Finland and additional bits of scandalous information about babies born out of wedlock, etc. While trying to figure out how to add multiple spouses (after death and divorce) I found this
little gem in the FAQs:

Jargon & Techno-Babble

Bull Shit Generator

House Day

Soooooo...I haven't posted anything here because we've been busy-- Disney World & today we are closing on a house. The kind we will actually get to live in. We have a place in Carbondale that we bought and then moved away from and it has been rented ever since...so we've been all about paint samples and scotch-guard and blinds and stuff and I've been a titch distracted from my school work.
