A big "whoops" from me. Sylvia Andersen's campaign manager contacted me to inform me that I sent an e-mail to the wrong address. It's syvliaandersen@comcast.net, not sylviaanderson@comcast.net. My bad.
Of course, this also underscores why I've said it's important to register your own domain. It avoids mix-ups like that and you can create a catch-all address […]

We're in quite the transportation crunch right now and the state is […]

And the conclusion to our thrilling four-part saga…
Okay, not really, but I needed an opener. We slept in pretty good Sunday morning (as well as we could with Chloe being a crack-head), ate a big yummy breakfast, then spent the balance of the morning kicking back and doing the "wasting time until we have to […]

We had about an hour or so of downtime this morning as I made a small mistake when changing some server configuration. It's all fixed now.
