God Forgive Me, I Am Lazy and Unworthy...

I have been remiss, which is what I always say when I look at my neglect of this site. Much has happened, so let's catch up.

Power Outages-the failure that I referred to back in February lasted for five days. By that time, many of us had lost the food that was stored in our refrigerators. The district had sent several portable generators that were to be used for refrigeration support to our site at the time that the power was finally restored. Since then, we have had a couple of day-long outages, and one that just ended over the weekend that lasted three days. We now have a portable generator for each building, and we have some limited electrical outlet availability in the hallway outside our apartment. We have taken to plugging in a surge strip into that outlet, and running our refrigerator and freezer off from it. Even though the power is back on today, we still have extension cords running through the apartment. I suspect that we may keep it this way for the rest of the school year.

Baby! My little princess, Alice, was born on March 7. Of course, I believe in some level of my heart that she is the most unique human being ever born. I am silly that way. Everything went even more smoothly than we could have hoped, especially with some of the complications that we faced. Of course, I have not begun to deal with medical bills in earnest as yet. Our insurance is pretty comprehensive, so I am hopeful. Daddyhood for the second time is fun. Even when it is inconvenient. Remind me of this when I am 74 years old with a 15-year-old to deal with. I will certainly have it coming for my arrogance.

That is the big stuff. We are about 7 1/2 weeks from being done, and we have the big, bad test days next week to enjoy and plan around. It is light until ten o' clock or so, and spring is clearly coming, even if it is -20 in the mornings when I walk the dogs. Summer is coming, it cannot be stopped...

  2. I have been waiting to hear about the baby!!!! Congratulations. I hope your power gets fixed for good, and as far as the cold, it is cold in Missouri also, not -20 below, but cold for the last of March and some snow on the ground still. A year ago I had a lot of my garden in the ground by now. So happy for you and your wife, welcome to the world baby Alice. Kelly
