well, that's not happening...

Tim's ambiguous to the idea now, and Leane's got other things lined up, so there will be no basement kung fu with other people for now. Oh well.

Otherwise, business as usual. I'm taking my swee time reading Kyle's book, but I'll probably get to finishing it next week. I was informed that Kyle paid some company to edit his book, which was done piss-poorly. It looks like all they did was run it through a spell check. Quite a few mistakes with words meaning spelled the wrong way. I think I'll offer to edit his next book for free. However, I am enjoying the story of Aran and his adventures.

This winter has been a let down in a couple ways. The pellet stove only heats my basement, and just really add so an already ridiculous heating bill. I talked to a local contractor about either moving it upstairs to my living room or insulating my basement walls so they reflect the heat instead of those concrete walls soaking up most of the heat. I'm supposed to get a quote from them soon on either option.

The other downer is this entire lack of snow. I was really looking forward to doing a lot more snowshoeing and sledding with Marjie and Alice. I get into fun conversations with my parents about how awesome it is that they don't have to deal with snow any more since they live in the Phoenix area. This year we were lucky we had any kind of white christmas.

Ok, I'm done bitching...

Peace and balance...   :)
