Friday the thirteenth falls on a Sunday this month. Sorry for the lag in posts, but settling into a new house and getting a new rescue mutt makes for a busy time. Georgia is settling in pretty well. She's testing a lot of boundaries, and it'll be a few months of getting her expectations aligned with actual reality, we're sure. We are doing formal training with this dog, as Marcia can't walk her right now - Georgia would pull her over right away. But it'll all work out. Hardest thing at the moment: finding her toys that she can't destroy…

Snow days are ... different up here. It snowed 20" or so in our immediate vicinity on Saturday. The roads seem to have been plowed and treated by 7 AM on Sunday (and the plows were keeping things clear enough on Saturday).

Of course, a Friday the thirteenth that happens to fall on a Thursday this month is the perfect time to fix some broken things. In this case, I fixed the broken 2FA bits on all of our sites.

Today we take a break in our busy lives to give thought and honor to those who have served in our country's military. Thank you all! I'm long enough in the tooth to have known members of our family who served in both World Wars, in Korea, in Vietnam, and on military and humanitarian missions around the world. We will remember your service and your sacrifices on behalf of our country. Yes, we're missing Lexi quite a lot. Thank y'all for the kind comments. We were really hoping she'd be here with us for this otherwise exciting (and tiring) time...
