This week Luke Stokes reminded me
how twitter can sap all your blogging energy.
And I don't know if you've noticed, but I tweet A LOT.
That, and the last month or so has been pretty intense. First Hops managed a "partial degloving" of the skin on her belly.
She got 30-odd stitches and had a drain in for a week (oozing a bloody mess all day) but she's better now.

Although the hair they shaved off the area hasn't really grown back that much. And she appears to be missing a couple nipples. Not that

The general hecticness of the holidays, travel and all was then made extra exciting by Target. Target lost both Cara and my credit card
information in a little snafu you may have heard about (over 100 million other American were also affected). Our lovely bank promptly
cancelled our cards on the evening of the 20th. While we were out to dinner actually. Fortunately under such circumstances Buffalo's was
nice enough to let us leave and bring cash to pay after a stop at the bank the next day. So we were cash-only until we got back from
Atlanta after the start of the New Year. As my lovely wife was wont to say, Fun Times.
Naturally this was followed by the burst pipe in our kitchen. Though I did manage to
post pictures of that
so our landlord could assess the damage and plan the restoration. All the floors are ripped up on the main floor and the basement (where
there was more than just concrete, that is). We've spent most of our intervening free time moving everything we can out of the house and into
storage. We were planning to move closer to the city this summer, but were dithering until this episode got our butts in gear. I
suppose that's looking on the bright side of things.
Oh, and my friend Phillip from work gave us new fish yesterday:
