We got caught up in the winter storm that took the Seattle area.  We
were without power for 26 hours.  No biggie there, but our ISP WAS DOWN
FOR 3 DAYS!!!!  It's a small one that I've been very happy with for 6
years now (still am - power outage wasn't their fault), so I've missed
out on RPCA since Wednesday.  No way am I going to get through 847
messages right now.

We're on our way out of town for 2.5 weeks with family.  Only place that
has other than dialup internet is our son 1.5 weeks out.  When I get
back, I expect to have 2500 or more unread RPCA messages.  I'll get
through them when I can.

Kiddies are all boarded with the same folks we've used for years, so we
don't have to worry about them.

In the meantime, happy holidays to all, and to all a good night!
