My long hair is gone.  Everyone wave goodbye to the hippie that used to blog here.  Goodbye, hippie!

The electricity is back at my house.  I could not be more pleased.  Actually, I guess it’s been on since late Saturday, but last night was the first night it was on without an outage for the whole night.  This is major progress, especially given that we’re supposed to get more snow Tuesday and Wednesday.
