The good news -- my Mom is visiting for the weekend, from North Carolina. The bad news -- I got a flat tire on my way to the airport, so the morning is pretty much blown while I wait for a new one to be installed. OTGH I had left home early enough that changing the tire didn't make me late.

I did spend a reasonably productive morning working from home, and posted an actual River post in the evening. And spent a couple of hours with Mom and Colleen geeking out on the relative merits of the Kindle (Colleen loves hers; Mom prefers the iPad), iPad (Mom loves hers), and netbooks. So, yay!

Plenty of good links under the cut, as usual.
