Side note: There was supposed to be a super Skype date with me, Stick, Sally, Shasta, the phantom, the Finns, and possibly others, and it failed through almost no fault of mine.
The first time it failed was because when Stick and I got home from work, my house lacked power and thus internet due to bathroom remodeling adventures.
Then they weren't home when my power was back on.
Then we weren't home when Sally called saying people were home and ready. And then though eventually Stick made it back to my house, I never did.
And so, Skype failed. Lo siento. Otherwise there'd be stories from that too. And I doubt anybody wants to hear why I never made it home Saturday night.
