Writing news: Editing, editing, editing on The Isthmus.
Other: Found some interesting history on our family's genealogy. I'm gathering up what information I need before I join the (excellent) group of ancestry websites.
Website: Working offline on the bird pages.
And the rain's been beautiful.
Happy writing
