Capturing my ongoing fascination with the depth and breadth of internet sites out there. Ranging from the absurd to the relevant I highlight sites I locate, some of my posts are long and some short based on available time and what I have seen that is new to me. Although originally a joke newsletter, I have become far more interested in sharing information with my readers. I hope you enjoy this blog and feel free to comment or suggest other sites for my readers. Thanks!

Still moving
Have I mentioned moving sucks? I am buried, overwhelmed, and trying to stay focused. I am trying to pare down, get everything ready, beg friends for help packing and organizing. I am also getting every 24 year old I can find to do the heavy lifting.
I have a LOT! Here is an example: we just took a van load of books to donate, a van load went with my help to Illinois, and a van load went to storage temporarily. I still have two more six foot tall bookcases with books. I sure hope there are no more boxes of them somewhere else in this house!
I thought I had taken my music out of here but wrong again there is more both in my office and basement entertainment center. Yikes!
Any tips on moving appreciated. Any suggestions?
