| Stupid raccoon. Mostly I like nature,which is why I have two bird seed feeders and a hummingbird feeder in my backyard. But when the fatest,most fearless piece of TRASH raccoon comes climbing down the tree and starts smacking the feeders around with his fat little paw,then I get a little less excited. [...] As promised. It is not quite like an English cottage,but I like to pretend. It has yet to hit 80 degrees for 3 consecutive days yet this year (and yet,back east,it is pushing the 100s day after day). And that’s why I love Utah. [...] So I haven’t posted since January.

I got many good offers from KSL,and a couple from people saying basically “Hey,[...] Tonight Beth and I bought a Sony Bloggie Touch camcorder. It’s kind of like a flip video recorder,except this takes 12MP pictures,which is pretty handy.

I was out shopping,and there was some ice on a stair and I slipped and fell. I survived,but I’m pretty sore. Have to return to teaching on Monday,so hopefully I will feel better by then. Rectangles + Weather = DANGER. [...] To celebrate the new year,we had our Good Friends Skipper and Kelly over. It was to be a fancy affair,and we came up with a menu to match.
