I’m not Odette, but I did just add an anti-spam tool to her blog. You now need to type in a security code in order to post a comment. The code’s in an image on the comment page, but a spam program can’t read it. You’ve pretty much got to be human. So, ha, take that spammers!

For general reference, Odette is in Stratford-upon-Avon and loving it!

Seriously! Blow on it: Bonnie. Put it under the faucet: Charlie. Stick it in front of a fan: Frances. And Ivan’s lurking out in the Caribbean.

So of course, the fact that hurricane warnings have been issued for my area, and the fact that the airport is closed for Monday potentially gets in the way of my flying out of here on Tuesday, since Frances has been moving at the approximate speed of a golf cart. Solution? Dad and I are leaving early tomorrow morning and driving to Georgia, where we hope to find something interesting to do for a day before heading up to Atlanta to meet my travel group and our transatlantic flight to Shannon.

I will try to post here once in a while when I get internet access, but don’t hold your breath. Especially for the first couple of weeks, when we’ll be moving about quite a bit. I’ll be in Stratford for about two weeks starting Sept. 26, and in London following that, so I may have a chance to post then. E-mail is always welcome, provided you don’t expect an immediate answer! Love to you all!

Here it is at last. You guys have been so patient. Well, sort of.

As you’ve all noticed, the site has a new look! I’m very excited about this; it’s been so bare for so long. Feedback is most welcome. The background started out as ripples in sand, but after grinding it through Photo Shop’s pattern generator it now looks more like crinkled paper. I rather like it, though, so it stays - at least for now. Obviously the right hand side of the title banner looks bad - I have an idea of how to fix it, but can’t promise that I’ll get to it before I leave on Tuesday. This is a blog, not a business, folks.    (And a good thing, too, I know, I know.)

All right, you’ve waited long enough. Here we go.

Make sure everyone in your family votes! And if they’re dead, do the right thing, and give your dearly beloved a helping hand!

Oops, I’m not in Chicago, am I?

Ahhh, we love primaries. When I went, the people working the poll outnumbered the people who were voting, about four to one. When the woman at the check-in table gave me the cute colored ticket for an independant ballot, she said “One ticked for a no party ballot. You never party, do you?”

Very funny. Don’t break your arm patting yourself on the back. Gah.

Of course, then I was passed along to the man giving out ballots. He takes one look at me and says “Did I teach you?” Instead of telling him I’d never seen his mug before in my life, I asked where he taught. FWBHS, apparently, so I told him most politely that I was a Choctaw grad. It was a weird trip.

And now, we present the current version of the CSC Quote List! (I just added over three whole pages to it. Gosh, you guys are funny. I wonder if we voted on the best quote, if we could inspire ourselves to new and crazier limits of insanity…oooh, scary.)

Tune in next time for the exciting conclusion of our recent D&D campaign!
