Updates galore

House work progresses.  Trim, screens, final coat.  A few more days of cooperative weather and we’ll be good.

Cats – all kicking.  Archie had a few under-the-weather days but seems to be better.  I remember a couple cats in the past would just go off their normally iron-clad tums and need a couple days to build their eating stamina back up.  He looks perkier though so I’m crossing my fingers there.

In the neighborhood.  I’ve had several sightings of my local this-year’s fawns.  They are soooooo cute.  They jump straight up and down on their spring-loaded legs.  You can almost see the does heave a collective sigh – when will they calm down or at least take a nap.

And today – new cat in the neighborhood – Snow leopard!

Sometimes things aren’t easy…

Hard mode is hard. Some hard modes are harder than others. Then there’s Algalon the Raid Destroyer. He feeds off of your tears. – Valnoth (Found on wowhead.com)

Tonight Holly, Rich and I, with 3 others from their guild threw ourselves at The Black Knight a whole lot of times.  Eventually he fell down dead and stayed dead.  Those of us left standing at the end rezzed the others and well…. see it for yourself.

Yeah, sometimes things aren’t easy, but it sure feels great when you figure it out and get it done!  Good job team!

From my iPhone

After quite awhile of trying and troubleshooting, I updated WordPress to the current version to try again. This fixed another problem and lets me put the quote box on top where it belongs.

But it also made the WordPress iPhone app stop spinning and failing.

So here’s the first post from my iPhone! And while I’m at it let me welcome 3g to the neighborhood.

What did you do this summer?

Got soggy from the rain, wondered if the sun would ever shine again and am getting the house painted.
