Gee...

...this whole blogging thing is a lot easier to keep up with when you have nothing else to do. I should have tried this months ago...

Another day brings more fun. For those of you keeping score at home, that was sarcasm. The hip is feeling great, but the rest of me, not so much. It seems I have a cold now, though my fervent hope had been that it was nothing. Oh well. Can't have it all, I guess.

I am once again wireless, thanks to my other half's trip to Best Buy yesterday to get us a new router. And all it took was about 1.5 hours of telephone tech support from India to get it to work. But all is once again right in our computing world. And I've learned that if you ever want to call India, you should know that there's a 9.5 hour time difference (they're ahead of us) [for the sake of clarifying information in the spirit of the Info Wench, I'll include a comment here that there is always a 9.5 hour time difference, whether you'd actually like to call India or not]

It's been an exciting day for the kids. Simon got a trip to the vet first thing this morning for his semi-annual check-up. I'm told he did very well, in spite of having to have some extra tests we didn't have time to tell him about. He's such a good boy. Neko (the Fuzzy Orange Cat, that is) has spent her day going in and out. And Yoshi has spent his day sprinting across the yard chasing bugs and pollen. That's our little Einstein. Here he is during a rare moment of rest:

Gosh. With all of this excitement, I can't believe anyone can keep up with reading Fuzzy Orange Cat. I mean, really. It must distract you to no end, just thinking about what kind of riveting tale I will post next...

Is that 9.5 hours before or after Daylight Savings Time? Is it really only 8.5 in the winter?

Well...during previous times of war, India occasionally used Daylight Savings Time. However, they no longer do. So it would be safe to say that once Daylight Savings Time ends here in the U.S. (on the first Sunday of November), the time difference between here and India would then become 10.5 hours (since we "fall back," not "spring ahead" at that time).

Well, you know, I just wanted to be clear on this. We don't want to have misinformation on our blogs. You never know who might find that information and take it as the gospel truth and start publishing it all over the world. Next thing you know, there's chaos.
