• We’re going to need a bigger boat. #
• Preparing for my first junket. #
• inflating my stability ball #
• Might need to borrow some fishing equipment “suitable for small water.” #
• Exploring tools for storing links + notes (for later blogging). Liking Publish2 and ScribeFire. Any other recommendations? #

• Funny People at 7pm, Carmike Mullan Road, anyone? #
• Another doctor’s visit, another call to the insurance company to try to get them to cover what they said they’d cover. #
• Just back from a free car-seat-installation appointment at Community Medical Center. Fast, easy, and informative. #

• Making pineapple-mushroom-avocado-swiss burgers with fresh vegetable mac and cheese. #
