My father has had a stroke -- well actually, a whole bunch of little strokes.

For this reason (he cannot go up the stairs to use the shower!), we're looking for an emergency 1-story house; moving could take place on ***VERY*** short notice now.

I've been informed that packing is to begin in less than one week; an intracity move is expected to take place sometime in April.

I know it's only a short distance, but "moving" is "moving" -- what a pain in the toliet muscle.

I will be without internet access for at least several days; but possibly close to a month. That one month value is not super likely, but the probability of that occurring is not mathematically zero.

I've been told that my computers ***MAY*** be taken away from me by my parents (whom I live with for primarily financial reasons) - apparently they think I'm piddling away too much of my time on my website.

My sister told me this today while my parents were gone.

If this occurs, there will be a suspension of updates to my website for an as-of-yet unknown period.

I've been asked to pare down my belongings *AGAIN* prior to our move in February 2010.

I'll be moving again sometime in February 2010.
It isn't going to be very far, but "moving" is "moving" - what a pain in the toliet muscle.

My father was royally urinated (pissed) when UPS delivered a small package yesterday morning. He says that it was just "more garbage to fill up your room" - yet it was originally intended as a birthday present for him. Happy birthday dad.

My stepmother is forcing me to dispose of most of the LEDs in my custody ; though I *AM* attempting to "hide" the vintage, antique, and downright rare ones.

I now have full internet access (including FTP), so I can update my website and read/post to the other websites I normally do.

Update 01-11-09
I've made it safely to my destination; although the internet hasn't yet been installed, there's an unsecured wireless connection somewhere nearby that I'm borrowing. My FTP client does not function, so I cannot make updates to my website, but I *CAN* read my email online via webmail.

Update New Year's Eve (12-31-08)
This will very likely be the last update I make to this weblog until at least mid-January 2009; I'll publish another update as soon as I'm able to after I arrive at my temporary home in western Washington (or "Warshington" if you prefer) state to let everybody know that I arrived safely if for no other reason.
I'll be "moving out" this evening.

Update New Year's Eve eve (12-30-08)
The moving plans are being tweaked just slightly...instead of leaving on the morning of 12-30-08 as had been previously planned, we'll be leaving on the evening of New Year's Eve (12-31-08), with an ETA at our temporary new residence expected on 01-06-09.

Update 12-22-08

Update 12-22-08
The moving plans are beginning to come together now...we'll be leaving here on 12-30-08 as previously indicated; we'll then spend several days in a motel in Sacramento, and then leave for the Seattle area on 01-03-09.

Update 12-12-08
My stepmother flew up to western Washington (or "Warshington" if you prefer) yesterday in order to scope out some houses that are potential candidates for us to move into later this month. She is expected to be there until 12-15-08.


A "big old jet airliner" {Steve Miller Band reference here} like my stepmother got on yesterday.

I went through more boxes of my belongings selecting what to keep and what to dispose of; the "Big Fat Meanie" (from SpongeBob SquarePants) {garbage truck} is going to get a lot of my lights and other belongings - out of approximately nine medium U-Haul boxes, I'm keeping only a single medium box (slightly smaller than a U-Haul medium) - so you can see a lot of stuff will end up at the dump real soon...possibly as soon as later today.

The move date has now been "set in stone" if you will, to 12-30-08.

There is a possibility now that we'll be moving to Kent WA. USA - this is only approximately six miles NNE of Federal Way however, and really isn't a major issue here.

Many of my lights and other products are to be put out for a multi-family garage/yard sale today; those that do not sell will be donated to charity. The dreadful "" icon won't begin to appear en masse on my website until ***AFTER*** the move though, when I can inventory (in detail) the remaining products.
