Jack forced me to watch the “Monsters, Inc”:http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/MonstersInc-1109769/about.php DVD yesterday. (Perhaps forced is a bit strong.) He said I needed a break.
I was surprised by how much I enjoyed it. In the first ten minutes, I asked Jack how they would be able to stretch the premise to make a feature length film. Then I just relaxed and enjoyed it. It kept me interested through the end, and I have a short attention span for movies.
Sunrise, a few mornings ago.
Very cold today: 1F at six am on the deck, which means that it is probably colder away from the house. The high is supposed to reach the 20s today, but wind chills will make it feel colder.
This is a scan of the recipe card I mentioned yesterday, per “Anita’s”:http://anitarowland.com/ request. The rooster and sun were carved by me from clip art. The mesh is from Judi-Kins. Several of us in the swap folded a sheet of cardstock to make our 3×5 inch cards. The top image is the outside, which in the the bottom image has been folded open. The cardstock, which looks almost black in this scan (on my monitor) is a deep green.
I belong to the The Rocky Mountain Inkslingers, a rubber stamping club that meets once a month. This month, we swapped recipe cards, suitably decorated with rubber stamps. For my recipe, I chose Crockpot Arroz Con Pollo, which has become a staple since we first tried the recipe about a year ago. The chicken always turns out well, and the results are fresher tasting than a lot of crockpot recipes, perhaps because the peas are added an hour before serving.
Karen Winters’ website includes collages, visual journaling, and carving. Her carvings are especially fabulous.
Now that fall is turning into winter, I am usually alone when I go to the barn to ride. My trainer is in her house, painting her family room, so there is someone on the property, but in the barn Lily and I are alone.

Like Windows, Linux provides non-productive ways to spend your time. A game called Frozen Bubble is particularly addictive.
The Windows-to-Linux roadmap: Series Overview has a lot of good information for the technically interested. It includes articles on logging, file system setup and networking.
Jack took this photo on our walk yesterday. There are deer, but they are too far away to distinguish them.
Emboldened by my success with the CD burner, I started working on getting my Epson 610 scanner to work with Linux. It now works, although I am not completely sure of which of the many things I tried succeeded. USB scanners don’t seem to have good support under Linux.
I made this faux postage card for a swap last spring featuring cards using eyelets. The base of the card is white. I added a black border with Gimp so the card would show up.
