Hi, R. Hi, Lyndon,

I think it's interesting how some things don't bother me very much, and how others send me into a tizzy. My heat has been out for about a month now - no big deal. I bought a space heater, and I sometimes wear a jacket inside. Politics makes me crazy for hours or days. Losing an argument drives me up a tree. Computer problems, dropping things on the floor, being thwarted have me cussing a blue streak.

Anyway, the heater guy was over here today, we figured out a configuration that will work, and he'll get the contract to me in a couple of days. So Yay! Step accomplished.

My writing streak has slowed way down. I have to do some juggling with the plot. And there are some blank spaces that need to be filled in (but i"m not sure how to do it.) If I can get back to knowing how everything should go, I'll be writing a blue steak again.

Taxes won't be attacked until late March - oh, wait, that's not so far away.
