		<description><![CDATA[I got the saddest news this weekend &#8212; Camp Osoha, the place that saved my life, is closing it&#8217;s doors after 89 years. I went to Osoha for five years, during which, I moved twice and switched custodial parents. To say that Camp was the only stable point in my life for many years is an understatement. And Linda Porter, the camp director, has been a touchstone throughout all these decades &#8212; someone I could go back to years later for advice. Maybe it&#8217;s a western thing, but as an adult I don&#8217;t meet very many people who went to these kinds of all-summer sleepaway camps. Osoha, and my brother&#8217;s camp, Red Arrow, had seven week sessions, and we all came back year after year. You tell people that and they look at you like you like it was child abuse. Seven weeks? Who would send their kid away all summer? All I can say is thank goodness my parents managed to scrape it together each summer to send us back to camp. Camp was where I learned how to get along with other people, how to be a team, and how to work really hard to achieve a goal. [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Just about Halloween I had a stupid stupid accident and killed my laptop. I made the error of putting my unprotected laptop in a messenger bag with a re-corked bottle of wine before driving down to the cabin for the night. As I walked in the door I noticed wine dripping from the bag. The bottle had tipped over and opened and had absolutely SOAKED my laptop. And then I made the fatal error. I tried to turn it on. Nothing. And then I came to my senses and remembered that electricity and wetness inside a laptop is a bad bad combo. I ripped out the battery and tipped it on edge to drain the red wine out of the CD-slot and left it in the warm laundry room all night hoping it would dry out and come back to life. Nope. Then I took it apart. I&#8217;d already ordered a new one, and I figured since it was probably dead, I should open it up and see if it looked like it could be cleaned. That was an exciting experiment, but even though we got all the way in (there are a LOT of tiny screws on a Mac [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Well, that was unexpected. I had a girlfriend in town last week, hence dropping off the blog, and then just as I was about to get back to it, I accidentally drowned my computer when a re-corked bottle of red wine came uncorked in my messenger bag. Dead. Dead dead dead. And if your laptop dies on a Friday, in Montana, you can&#8217;t really get a replacement until, well, Tuesday afternoon at nearly four. However, I&#8217;m now a HUGE fan of Time Machine. I plugged in the new laptop (which is very shiny and aluminum and pretty), it asked if I wanted to migrate from Time Machine, I said yes, and 40 minutes later my desktop looks just like it did before. Restored! Really restored! I&#8217;m sort of shocked but quite pleased. So, I&#8217;ll be back tomorrow. Now, I&#8217;m signing off, heading up to the cabin which is blissfully free of an internet connection, to enjoy a beautiful beautiful clear evening in the Paradise Valley. And then tomorrow I have to really get my act together &#8212; I&#8217;ve got some deadlines looming.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[So I realize I&#8217;m the last person in America to experience this, but I just got a new-to-me used iPod and well, I&#8217;m besotted. Many years ago, my Beloved Stepmother gave me an original 10GB iPod as a delightfully extravagent birthday present, and I&#8217;d been pretty happy with it, although I was always running out of room. Then when she was here a few weeks ago, she traded me the iPod Touch she&#8217;d replaced with an iPhone for an older MacBook &#8212; she&#8217;d never really used a Mac so I gave her an old one of mine to see whether she liked it before switching from a PC. Anyhow, the iPod Touch was cool, but it didn&#8217;t have any memory at all &#8212; I couldn&#8217;t get it to load podcasts or my new music and I grew increasingly frustrated, especially now that I&#8217;m working at home on the kinds of tasks that I really need music to concentrate on. So I finally took the plunge and upgraded to a 120GB used iPod I found on Amazon. It was about half the price of a new one and the seller was great and sent it to me right away, in the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Well, not a tub exactly, but the top half of a composter that didn&#8217;t work very well. Since I&#8217;m dating a man who doesn&#8217;t eat vegetables, except for, as he puts it &#8220;the noble root crop&#8221; I&#8217;m growing spuds this year. I tried them once before and they didn&#8217;t work particularly well &#8212; mostly because I don&#8217;t think I watered them enough. Also, they take up a lot of space &#8212; so this year I thought I&#8217;d try containment spuds &#8212; the bottom of this thing is open, so perhaps they&#8217;re rooting their way down into the stony ground (this is a kind of no-mans land part of the garden). These are some Carolas and German Butterballs that I got from my milk lady last year and that sprouted before I could eat them &#8212; so I stuck them in a paper bag and waited for spring. This really couldn&#8217;t have been easier. I put about a wheelbarrowful of compost in the bottom, stuck the spuds in, and covered them with old straw. And voila! They&#8217;re going great gangbusters (as my grandmother would say). I looked at them yesterday and they&#8217;re flowering, so here&#8217;s hoping that in another few weeks [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[My ancient Olympus digital point-and-shoot finally died. It was seven or eight years old, one of the things I wound up with after Patrick died, which is part of the issue. I hate hate hate shopping for things like digital cameras. There are so many, and the variations are so small, and I don&#8217;t really want to spend the money, and there are so many models and who can tell them apart? So here&#8217;s where I need you dear readers &#8212; do you have a digital camera that you like? I&#8217;m looking for a reasonably-inexpensive camera that takes decent photos that I can post on the blog. I don&#8217;t want lots of bells and whistles, I want something simple &#8211; Fire away in the comments. Help me out here so I can get back to blogging!]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[So, my new sweetheart (who needs a blog name, the Carpenter?) hasn&#8217;t had cable these past few years, and isn&#8217;t really a tv person. But because he tends to work late, and we eat dinner late, neither of us has the energy for a whole movie. But it&#8217;s too early to go to bed, and so I&#8217;ve discovered the wonderful world of TV series on DVD. The Carpenter has never seen the Sopranos, or Deadwood, or Rome, or even Planet Earth &#8212; all of which are now rotating through my Netflix queue. Can I tell you how much fun it is to start all over again and with someone who has no idea what&#8217;s coming? While it&#8217;s very hard for me not to keep jumping in with things like &#8220;oh, that&#8217;s Livia &#8212; the meanest mother ever,&#8221; or &#8220;that&#8217;s Calamity Jane, she gets much more interesting,&#8221; it&#8217;s still really cool to start over from the beginning. We watched the first episode of The Sopranos last night &#8212; and wow. The ducks! Tony is so thin! Dr. Melfi&#8217;s office is all different! The priest &#8212; I&#8217;d forgotten about the annoying priest! Meadow was so young, and not having eating disorder issues [...]]]></description>

It&#8217;s still snow/raining, although everything is that bright saturated green that comes with spring in the mountains. The apple trees are just starting to leaf out, and we&#8217;re on the look for morels, although no one I&#8217;ve talked to has found any of them yet. The chickens are just waiting for the finishing touches to move outside &#8212; they need a fence, and a door to the coop, and a walkway. But we&#8217;re getting there. Should have pictures soon.]]></description>
