tech support 101

I can't believe I just told someone "Ok, tell your teenager to..." to solve a computer problem.

Canada's apology to the United States (from "This Hour has 22 Minutes")

International Eat an Animal for PETA Day is March 15. And meat for Shabbat is kind of a given for me. :-)

Ray

Ray Tucker (SCA: Guido Aldina, husband of Esperanza Halevi) died last night. He had been sick for a while with a respiratory problem, and was in the hospital a couple weeks ago when it got bad. So we knew this was coming, though we didn't know when.

I called them last evening to see if we could visit, but Esther said he wasn't up for it. She also said that evenings in general are bad (I wish I'd known that earlier), and we should come on Saturday. I guess she wasn't expecting this to be quite this soon either.

Esther has family and a good group of friends here in town, so I imagine she'll get through this better than many would. But they were married for an awfully long time, and this has got to be rough.

I'll miss him. He was a neat person -- generous and courteous, with eclectic knowledge and a sense of humor.
