fuck fuck fuck. I just got an email from a young woman I used to work with and have somewhat stayed in touch with. She had a second child a month ago and just had news of aggressive breast cancer. Thought it was a blocked milk duct but it wasn't. She's starting chemo and then having a mastectomy. She's early 30's. I'm devastated by this. What the hell. Cancer really spares no one.

so sorry to hear that, Alicat.

I'm off to Phoenix Dec 24-30 to visit family there. Weather there is about the same as here this time of year, so no lounging by the pool :(  but I'll catch up on a few new movies in theaters with my brother, who bought a new home there a few months ago. Off work until Jan 5. Yea! ;D

And my story is that our power's out--has been since yesterday early AM, and the power co. won't give us an estimate of when it'll be back as only 6 customers are affected. Grrr. So we've packed up the dog and the cats and some of the food in the freezer and headed to my uncle's house, 10 miles away. Thankfully he has power (and broadband!) so I will probably be online periodically but not listening to anything via the web. And working a few hours today and tomorrow. Hoping we can be back in our place by Xmas, but the snow is an issue too--we've got about 2.5 feet on the ground with more coming, so getting up the driveway is a challenge (we do have 4WD, w/ chains). So "White Christmas" isn't a dream, it's a virtual certainty! :)

So, now that I'm done kvetching, just want to say I hope you all are safe and warm for Xmas, and thank you all for putting up with my OCD tendencies for another year!

(And yes, for those that asked for them, the 10@10 CDs will get done, as soon as Portland General Electric says it's OK. :) )

We've got my folks visiting until the 5th, had yesterday off for my older son's 9th b-day, working today & tomorrow, also every day next week except the 1st.

p.s. to Urth, can I get a copy of the set from my birthday - 3/6/08?
