Achy achy achy from my upper-body workout at the Rose House indoor/outdoor training center (aka packing the moving van). And I had to bail early: I can only imagine what the folks who unloaded in Leominster feel like this morning.

In other news, I love shopping at Comicopia, but for the last few visits the owner has taken the opportunity each time to talk (and talk and TALK!) about his new obsession: working out every possible permutation of tic-tac-toe. All the possible ways a game could go.

"Ah," you say, as I did the first time I heard about this. "So he's working out a computer program that'll calculate everything."

No no. He's doing it by hand. On index cards. For he's not just a geek, he's an *Amish* geek.

"rose house"? is this the name of a family you helped move or something? i ask because i have relatives in the area who i think might have just bought another house...

It's the nickname of our old apartment, situated in a big pink Victorian. :) And Oaken is just plain WONDERFUL for helping.

It's what my group of friends call themselves--though they're thinking of switching to the House of Red Doors, now that they've moved. My choice, House That Would Be Much More Entertaining If They Only Got a Chihuahua, was vetoed, can you believe it?

Ah, but it's far more likely to someday become House That Is Much More Entertaining With a Schipperke than any other breed. Not that it's very likely, seeing as one of the inhabitants cares not for dogs in her world. :}

as an avid chihuahua fanatic i demand a recall on that one ;) . house with red doors sounds like it's either haunted or a danielle steele novel.
