Kids are out at school, wife is home, so of course we’re cleaning the house. And getting the car’s transmission checked. And pulling twenty metric butt-tons of extruded plastic junk out of the kids’ room and packing the still-usable stuff for charity. And getting my wife’s new computer ready for her looming switch-over. And… look, sorry, blogging is at the bottom of this particular list. Maybe later.

This is the second day in a row I am trying to make eclairs. Failure is looming again.
I spit upon your infrastructure.
Now, in case you are wondering: that was a quote from the either Buffy the Vampire Slayer or Angel… and it was either a French woman spitting on Gypsies or a Gypsy spitting on a French woman. Whichever, my husband and I have found it to be a most useful phrase. I gift it to you and Mrs. Moe.
