Eagles Over the Kennebec

The office phone rang at 11 p.m. last night. We had been at work late and were, happily, awake. But still, with elderly parents and a sibling whose diabetes is not under firm control in the mix, a phone ringing at 11 p.m. is ...noteworthy. (Why is it, I wonder, that we always assume that late night calls are bad news? Does nothing bad happen during the day? Is there no joyous news that must absolutely be shared at midnight?). Anyhow, we go back to the office and listen to a recorded message from "Tim," inviting us to call him at 866-628-9678 anytime between 9 a.m. and 9 p.m. PACIFIC Standard Time to chat about consolidating our debt.

Tim, if you're reading here -- in Maine, solicitation, spam, and junk phone calls are disallowed after 9 p.m. EASTERN Standard Time. Please adjust your phone 'bot accordingly.

In other news, thanks to the efforts of innerbitch_rss and sleary, there is now an RSS feed for all things Fledgling.

Speaking of Fledgling, I note that it's now funded through 65% of Chapter 14. The response to this project has been nothing short of amazing. Thank you all.

And a request...If someone out there has the time and inclination to make a carousel horse icon for me, I'd been very grateful.

And now -- back to the bookkeeping. *sighs*
