I’m heading out on another adventure. Tomorrow (Tuesday) I leave bright and early for Seattle and the National Federation of Press Women conference. If only I could have gotten there a few days earlier… the NASFIC in Seattle wrapped up today. (Sigh. I never get to do anything fun.) So I get to go to the boring conference instead of the fun one.

They recently moved into a wonderful property in Bucks…
There is a work crew in our building this week installing pipes for a fire-suppression system (er, “sprinklers”). They are all very polite, and I’m sure they are very good at what they do. However, yesterday one of these hardworking individuals unplugged a server so he could plug in his drill. (Can you say “oops”? I knew you could.)
