Another month has gone by without my having figured out how to work Movable type. I have tried it a few different ways and just can't seem to get My Server and Movable type to work together. Maybe it's the heat!
Around here, everyone is talkng about Health care. As someone who has not had health insurance for many, many years, I find it all rather depressing. The more I read and hear about how healthcare can work better in this country the more I think we are doomed.
A free market system can work, but the industires that drive that market need to give the regular folks some breathing room. For crying out loud, this is Healthcare we are talking about. How difficult does it have to be?
When I think of all the great things this country has been able to achieve in the last 233 years I can't help but imagine that health care is one we should have already figured out. Greed, is the sickness we should be looking at treating first.
I do know that any medical insurance I get would have to be way less expensive than it currently is for me to take part in it. Me and most of the folks in my area fall way below the national average for median income and the rates they are charging are out of control. I mean seriously who can afford 17% of their monthly income for health care insurance?
I had hoped our state, Connecticut, would lead the way in reforming the system. But No! Our state can't even pass a budget! We have gone into a third executive extension. A record for Connecticut.
On a lighter note. Le Duc (My husband) is planning another Adam & Andy book for release this fall. (October 3) Things are popping around here. If the computer holds up under the scanning pressure we should have it out on time and ready for the FOTCR season.
All's well here. I'll keep plugging on the software. I've got to catch a break some time!

I'm investigating how to upload movable type onto my server and run it from there. As you must understand, investigations take time and considerations must be weighed before reaching conclusions or taking any implementation actions.
I'm also having fun re-learning how to type my thoughts into the code at this end and have it come out on your end as a pleasant diversion.
Hello! It's Monday and I have a whole week off work! Today was first day of "Brush and Tree Limb Collection" in our little town. The guys come by your house with a huge chipper machine and woosh! No more brush and tree limbs. I may have gone a little over board this year. I spent more than a few full hours, this weekend, pruning and trimming my trees and flowering shrubs. Pink Rhododendron, White Mountain Laurels and bright Fuscia Azaleas all 2/3 smaller! I also made a big dent in the Lilac. I think the lilac is from the original builder of the house in 1935. It is a full stand of trees that I thinned quite seriously today.
Summer here in the Quiet Corner has only just arrived. Spring seemed to go on forever! All the fruits and vegetables are 2 weeks, or more, late.
10 things: -Quick Catch up:
- Still with Le Duc. He's drawing daily comics these days so I we mostly talk between the floors of the house.Both he and the Dog are doing well.
- Still involved in Local politics and civic affairs. (Most recently I've been working with the development of a local Farmers Market! Woo hoo!)
- Only working PArt -time these days.. Spending much more time at the house doing repairs and maintenance
- Lily Allen in Boston was the last concert I bought tickets to attend. We caught here at the end of the US Tour so she wasn't 100%, but she certainly can put on a show. I saw the show from the floor, in a sea of people. TOO MUCH FUN!!!
- Not completely down with what's going on with DOMA and The Gay Marriage question and DADT needs to get sorted. Where's the leadership on these issues?
- LOVING Netfli_x! The first 3 things I ordered: Grey Gardens from 1975, Dr. Who-Season 2 and Ethel Merman -There's No Business like Show Business., Le Duc is loving all the Indie gay films available. I'm loving the musicals. go figure.
- I'm growing yellow cherry tomatoes in my yard. When I come home after a long day, there is nothing better than to pick a few and have a treat as I make my way into the house.
- Still driving my 14 year old truck. I had a new engine and transmission put in at the beginning of the year. IT gets good gas mileage and looks as good as new. It's also great for moving stuff around. Everyone is your friend if you have a truck!
- It's so nice to be typing again like this. I've missed having a spot on the web. I have a pot of coffee on and will make with the movable type this evening.
- I'm happier now than when I started the Herein blog back in 2004. Age and experience have begun to guide me on my way.
That's all for now. I hope all is well. Say hello at timothy - at - adamandandy. - you get it. com
