Amazingly, this will be only the second time we&#8217;ve been apart for more than a couple days since I moved in 5 1\/2 years ago, the first time being when I skipped up to New England for a few days to visit my father when he was in rehab. We could use another good dose of missing each other ;)<\/p>\n<p>I pretty much have plans every day that I&#8217;ve been able to work into my on-call schedule. Last night I went over to Nita&#8217;s house and enjoyed <a href=\"http:\/\/hardcandymovie.com\/\">Hard Candy<\/a> on her big new TV. Wow, what a movie. Don&#8217;t read anything about it, not even the back of the DVD, just watch it, I&#8217;m very glad I was completely clueless about it.<\/p>\n<p>This morning I met up with <a href=\"http:\/\/lamalex.wordpress.com\/\">Alex<\/a> in West Chester at the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.wcoj.com\/\">WCOJ<\/a> station. I was a bit nervous before the show, but once the show got going I was OK. It&#8217;s much easier to talk to an audience you can&#8217;t see, it felt more like we were having a discussion with just the hosts. The hour flew by. Our team member, <a href=\"http:\/\/jedijf.blogspot.com\/\">Jim<\/a> listened to the show and said we &#8220;sounded like radio professionals&#8221; &#8211; but I think he was just trying to be nice. I confirmed with the host that the podcast will be online within a few days, and I&#8217;ll be sure to post the link all over the internet when I have it, I&#8217;m excited to hear it. In all I&#8217;d say the broadcast went very well, our hosts were excited about playing around with Ubuntu more and invited us back!<\/p>\n<p>The rest of the day today has been spent catching up with journals and email. This evening will be spent on projects!<\/p>\n<p>Tomorrow afternoon <a href=\"http:\/\/joeterranova.net\/\">Joe<\/a> and <lj user=koikuri> are coming over over for some pizza and hacking. Should be fun :)<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m also trying to train Simcoe not to destroy the toilet paper. We&#8217;ve removed the extra paper from the bathroom and will probably get some sort of closed container, but she still attacks the paper on the roll. I don&#8217;t want to have to keep the bathroom door closed for the rest of her life to get around this problem. Last night I used a trick I found online of putting some coins in a little container and setting it on top of the toilet paper, idea being that when she tackles the paper the coins will fall on her and scare her off. When I came home from Nita&#8217;s last night the coins were all over the bathroom floor. Today she hasn&#8217;t touched the paper. It&#8217;s too early to claim success, so we&#8217;ll see how to goes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Michael left Thursday evening for the dance retreat where he&#8217;s supporting a Sun-Moon dancer at the Birdsong Peace Chamber through Monday.
