I spent the better part of three days at the hospital over my Thanksgiving holiday. I developed some general abdominal uncomfortableness on Wednesday, and it hadn’t gone away by Friday, so we checked into the emergency room. After a CAT scan, my doctor, the same one who helped me with my elbow seven months ago, …
Wow, Cutline makes it so easy to change the header photos! Now, there are just a few more things that need rearranging…
So, I thought it would be useful to have a more adaptable layout for the blog. This is Cutline by Chris Pearson. It’s one of the most popular WordPress themes available because it has such a clean look. I love all the white space. I need to figure out how to customize the photos in …

Apart from being the title of a great (read ‘stupendously entertaining’) new film, that is the number of queries Mr. Daniel Lazar claims to receive each week in his form letter response to my own query. It was really a very polite rejection, though. More on the movie: don’t see it for historical accuracy; don’t …
