Have you seen my bag of money?

I left it in the parlour. It was your party and they were your friends. Listen to the song

We are suffering from the post holidays empty bank syndrome at the moment,
but a few weeks work should sort that out. It seems that my complaining
about it being to hot has resulted in revolting windy and rainy weather
instead now. Still that helps me stay inside and work more.

Back, and so is the blog

Well, it appears that while we were away the fan in my shuttle decided to
stop working so it overheated it shut itself down. Its up and running again,
with the case open and hopefully enough breeze to keep it from doing it again.

Since I last wrote on the blog, we have had xmas, visited Erie, I went to
Ohio, we flew out to LA, drove to Vegas and back, and then flew home.

Stuff has stopped falling from the sky

Well, the snow and sleet and rain and ice pellets have all stopped falling. So today we plan to leave the house and go down to Islay’s for breakfast, and then to the Mattress Factory (which is a museum that specialises in installation art). This weekend we have the Nieds xmas party, and the trans siberian orchestra to go too. So that should be fun. Then its probably off to Jersey for a few days before coming back to Pittsburgh for Christmas.

Attack of the ice Pellets

So at 4am tomorrow morning (Pittsburgh time) we are supposed to start being pelted with ice pellets. Then some sleet, then snow, then rain, then snow. So I think we will be doing the museums or perhaps the science center. Im off to Athens on the 28th for a few days work, just confirmed transport today. We are waiting to hear back from some of Laurel’s friends and may be off to Newark to meet up with them for a couple of days.

Its cold out

Well, its way too cold for snow tonight, its dropping to 9f which is -13c. Its about 18f out at the moment and thats plenty cold enough for me.
Today we went to the Northway Mall and got a few hoodies and warm clothes. Not sure what im doing tomorrow, something inside probably perhaps the last of our xmas shopping.

In the snow

We made it, after a few dramas at San Francisco airport. First United had lost our tickets, then we finally sorted that out, and snow in Chicago meant our flight was delayed. Consequently we got to Chicago and had 3 minutes to make our connection to Pittsburgh, we made it luckily. So we are still jet lagged and tired, but are enjoying the snow and crisp weather. More news as it happens, keep it tuned to the Korerorero blug.

What a game!

Well, we lost but theres very little shame in that when you lose by 2 runs
and have scored 320. 642 runs a days cricket .. you can’t ask for much more
than that. And the atmosphere at the stadium was great. I’m off to the
cricket wilderness of Pittsburgh for a few weeks, so cricinfo.com will be my
friend.
