we are in love......

Well, it kinda worked. The post came through, but no title...

This is the husband, testing out some new geek goodies for the blog. After nearly 5 years of constant use and too many bounce tests to count, the Mac PowerBook is temporarily dead.

I'm just geekin' out right now, seeing if a blog editing and publishing client for Ubuntu Linux. It might rock, it could suck, but at least it and the OS it'srunning on is free!

Time to publish and see how it does...
