Oh yeah, computers... I forgot to go near mine the past few days. Which means I forgot to blog that Antsaint is on vacation till after the New Year. Duh.
In very, very good news though... Jodie and I are engaged! Dates, etc., to be set. Thanks to many friends for support and conspiratorial advice. You know who you are :-)
Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to go kiss my fiance.
When I first saw this headline — Classic ice cream parlour closes: The Register-Guard, Eugene, Ore. — my heart skipped. I was scared to death that Prince Puckler's had shuttered, but luckily, it has not. However, another Eugene ice cream icon, the Pearl Street Ice Cream Parlour, on 13th & Pearl, has closed for good. According to the R-G article, the Beppe & Gianni’s folks are taking over the space and will convert it into a pizzeria.

Editing is by no means simple, but I hadn't even thought of how many different levels there are to editing. And I am an editor. Ahem. Luckily for schmoes like me, Angela Harms has thought a great deal about the many facets and levels of editing, and has even put together a helpful Editing Basics FAQ.
We love our hot sauce, and this Golden Toad Chipotle Pepper Sauce reviewed in the Hot Sauce Blog sounds like a tangy chipotle must-have for our cabinets. Hmmm, reminds me of the crockpot chili recipe I've been working on...

Ah, 2007 — another year when everyone suddenly wants out of the stock market. Panic! We're losing everything! Or are we? The past may not predict the future, but hey, at some point, the past was the future, so it's worth taking a look at. This post, using graphs to illustrate market ups and downs over the last 11-ish years, is one more reason why I'm not bailing out of anything, anytime soon:

"With the current volatility in the market, it causes people to begin questioning their investments and wondering where we’re headed. In my profession, I have to work with uneasy clients daily, and it can be difficult to remind them that the stock market is constantly moving and generally goes through cycles."
