Jets-Giants tonight!

    First day back was rough, as I had to get up after a few hours to visit Mom. It's looking like tomorrow or the next day, she might be moved to a local nursing home where she can continue her recovery. She'll have to work hard at regaining her physical strength. We're continuing to pray and hope for the best...
    I'm just about ready to give ImageShack the boot. I'm a bit tired of my image disappearing without explanation from the site, so I'm starting a GunGirl album on Imgur and crossing my fingers. My el cheapo workhorse PC died, so I'm torn about what to do next. I'm using my laptop for the time being since the bookmarks and browser settings were all transferred from the PC anyway.
