Friday was one of those big days  – two large boxes arrived – the new Dell computer. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

By the time I got home, the official family IT guy – Joe – had gotten stuck into things, and there were wires running all over the first floor. In addition to the computer and screen, we got a router (to allow for better wireless operation around the house – ESPECIALLY TO THE XBOX 360). Why a router designed to help us go wireless requires wires strung everywhere I don’t understand, which is why Joe is the IT guy and I just use things.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And the study\/computer room was a shambles. Here’s a picture from Saturday morning, when the mess had been a little cleaned up, showing the maestro at work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can’t really see the computer itself – it’s on the floor to the right of Joe, on it’s side.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Most of yesterday I took easy – have caught a cold and am trying to shake it. I even skipped the gym.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But Brigid, having gone to the Ossining Market, decided to cook a Sea Bass (we think it’s a Bass) she bought, along with some scallops. I have to tell you, we rarely eat a fresh fish, so it was a bit of a big deal. Here Mr. Bass is, from start to finish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was a pretty good-tasting fish –<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But it looks like it took a bit of work!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then Brigid did some marshmallows and wafer cookies dipped in chocolate for a Church bake sale today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Needless to say, not all the inventory is making it to Church this morning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
