The oldest scored 90% on his math test on integers. I don't know who I'm more proud of. Him for retaining the info or me for being able to teach it in a way that he can learn

Well done, both of you.

Submitted a paper for a conference to be held in Prague next year and got accepted at another.

  That is awesome.  You are kicking ass in your profession!   

[MissKitty]

Well done, both of you.

Thanks And well done on your paper!

Thanks.

Technically this was yesterday, but I went to a Tommy Emmanuel concert. It was fabulous. I'm still high from it.

 The predicted freezing rain did not happen.  I would have had a dilemma if it had.  My boss, for whom I am dogsitting, told me to salt the deck in the event of freezing rain, but I notice that the dogs like to eat snow, and I did not want to risk making them sick by salting the snow.

Maybe they wouldn't eat it if it was salty?

 I'd rather not take the risk.  Even one taste might contain more salt than they could safely ingest.

I posted without the fuss of setting font size and style, and my posts looked OK anyway.

  But now I am back to my favored settings, and they look even better!

  I busted ass and got everything cleaned up and packed before my boss came home!

I finally got a stylesheet to produce output that parses. Bloody hell, that was far more trouble than I expected.

Freezing rain on snow isn't that bad. Freezing rain directly on the deck would make the deck very tricky, but with snow underneath your feet would crack through the ice, it just wouldn't turn into an effective ice-floor.

      I left enough snow on the deck to give myself and the dogs something
   to crunch our feet into in the event of freezing rain.  I'd rather not salt the deck, knowing
   how much the dogs love to eat snow.  I would hate for them to get sick.  I love them.
